WA’s planning minister says Perth should get used to corporate helipads like the one Gina Rinehart is fighting a council for at her new headquarters.

‘She’s been bending over backwards’: Government backs Rinehart helipad

Minister John Carey said it was inevitable that some big companies would want their own helipads in Perth, and residents should be prepared to accept more of them if the city was to consider itself an international destination.
