Gina Rinehart's Hancock Iron Ore company is seeking to build a helipad at its new headquarters in West Perth. The City of Perth is recommending that councillors block the request. Hancock argues the helipad is a necessity for modern business operations. Opponents, however, are concerned that the noise from helicopter traffic would negatively impact nearby businesses. The City of Perth council is expected to make a final decision on the helipad application in the near future.
