Couple wanting helicopter pad in Westmere face opposition
A multi-millionaire couple who want to build a helicopter pad on their property in the Auckland suburb of Westmere have faced stiff opposition from the public. At a hearing at Auckland Town Hall today, a panel of independent commissioners have been hearing from those opposing and supporting the couple's resource consent application. The applicants, Anna Mowbray of Zuru Toys and the job platform Zeil, and former All-Black Ali Williams are being represented at the week-long hearing by their legal counsel, who finished making their case this morning.
