Stormy, the Perth city helipad nearly did close with the redevelopment along the river a couple of years ago.
After lobbying by a couple of operators, mainly Prestons who run the joy flights on the weekends, it fortunately remained as part of the re-development because as you are well aware, you let a city helipad go, you’ll never get it back.
Incidentally, that pad has only been used a couple of times for medivac use over the years. The Perth main hospitals have their own pads these days.
