In Australia many of the highrise on the Gold Coast were originaly built with helo pads on top but as CASA and others refused to allow there use

Don't you just love it? I know of a community that got a helipad closed at the regional heart center.....due to noise issues.

I pray one of the protesters have a massive heart attack while skiing or beach combing and have to ride in a ground ambulance to the same hospital.

Why would CASA have a problem with limiting the pads to "Emergency Use Only" and thus arrive at a compromise solution that in the end serves the community needs and concedes to the NIMBY's?
