An OTR bid to build a helipad on top of its planned $50 million, seven-storey HQ in Kensington has been slammed as “offensive” by the local mayor.
“It’s the most outrageous proposal I’ve heard in a long time,” Norwood, Payneham & St Peters Mayor Robert Bria has told The Advertiser.
“It shows no understanding of the location whatsoever. It’s offensive.
“It shows a complete lack of respect for schools, residents and the community at large.
“It beggars belief, what possible benefit could it bring?
“Any person with an ounce of common sense would not see it as reasonable.
“[Planning Minister] Stephan Knoll needs to stand up and knock this rubbish on the head immediately.”
