I couldn't find the original article that had the picture, but here's a link to the ausstadium forums that have the article quoted in full.ChillyPhilly wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2017 4:19 pmThere is no site earmarked for a new rectangular stadium as far as is known.
Well, the difference is with all those things you've mentioned... Musical festivals usually only last for one day or a weekend, planes have been using the current flight path before a lot of the suburbs they fly low over were even residential (so people knew what they were buying into) and whilst amass of cars do make noise a lot of people are accustomed to it. Helicopters are a whole different issue, having lived nearby the Yarra in Southbank, Melbourne; the leisure helicopters that would land alongside the banks of the Yarra the noise was consistently awful. If people insist on saving themselves time in getting out to the wine regions and such, go to the airport and use the facilities already provided there. The only reason this proposal took off in the first place was because that rich prick Councillor Abaid the man who only caters for the interests of himself and his friends wanted to such a facility to take advantage of himself. This space could be far better used and available for everyone, not just the rich minority.
Sounds like your standing in front of the mirror "taking advantage of yourself" with some of those comments.Patrick_27 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 24, 2017 1:33 pmWell, the difference is with all those things you've mentioned...

I don't know if people are forgetting that the newRAH will have two helipads next door with the associated noise which us East Enders are used to from the oldRAH.Llessur2002 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2017 2:30 pmI'm generally quite pro development and on the face of it a helipad would be an interesting and fairly novel addition to the city. However, I also have big concerns about the noise - we visited Port Arthur recently where there is a helipad used for scenic flights and the noise was pretty much constant and *incredibly* loud - even from the far side of the site. If it were only a couple of flights a day then this is unlikely to be an issue but if popularity and therefore frequency increases in time then it could significantly detract from the ambience of the Riverbank precinct and other areas of the city. I think we need to be careful what wish for with this one...
Agree that the heliports at Adelaide Airport are plenty close enough. But I don't think putting a hot air balloon under a major glide path is something that will be approved.
