A floating helipad will make its debut in Sydney Harbour next month in the city's CBD. The barge, which features two helipads, measures 37 metres long and 12 metres wide and has the capacity to service up to eight helicopters each hour. The state government has granted approval for Newcastle Helicopters to operate the helipad from 7 am till dusk. The heliport will be the first in the city for more than 20 years and is seen as an opportunity to promote tourism, despite opposition from local residents.
