What's the latest on the Dome?
The adminsitrator has left the building - handing ownership back to Eddy Groves and sixers have leases with Eddy. All is good. Not sure if this in today's paper?

Gazza,
the Dome is not in the middle of the reserve. The reserve is just the western area where cars park.
A quantity surveyor has been used to do the sums at a cost to a prospective buyer of over $30K.

The Dome is actually worth more subdivided and sold as industrial blocks and from what I have heard, could happen.
The land is around 150 m x 185 m (2.8 Ha) and could be divided into around 40 odd 600 m2 residential blocks for around $210K each (@$350/m2), or 10 large lots @ $1M each (2,000 m2 @ $500/m2), or create a series of smaller industrial blocks (eg six) which house 6 units per block @ $500k per unit for an industrial estate.
The larger blocks would be ideal for a medium enterprise and the smaller ones ideal for a tradesman, car detailer etc
I reckon you could get the Dome for say $3M, demolish it, clean up & bulk earthworks for about $3-4M, then sell off.
Residential: $8.4M less around $8M in costs - wouldn't work
Large Blocks: $10M less around $7 in costs - $3M profit
Small Block: $18M less around $16M in costs - $2M profit
Depends if anyone wants to lend me money interest free. Some guy with a black leather jacket and writing on the back said he would with "reasonable interest rates", but wouldn't clarify what those terms would be.

Trams are running from Entertainment Centre to the city from today.
(I'd guess makes it a bit harder for events like concerts at the dome - which would be needed to be profitable.)
