Thus is surely a bizarre idea, a tourist who wanted to bicycle somewhere would ask the concierge "Where can I hire a bicycle for a day?' No-one expects to find permanent bicycle parks at a hotel, maybe some for the staff ( or in some sort of storage area)
Could they be referring to staff parking their bikes (bicycles) at the hotel? I had a friend who used to be a kitchenhand at the Hilton in Vic Square. He rode his bike to work.Nathan wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 3:43 pmI agree the guest bike parking is a strange requirement. It can definitely be a plus point for a hotel to have bikes for guests — I’ve used guest bikes at both Ace Hotel in the States and at Hotel Hotel in Canberra — but that should be up to the hotel operator, not a rule coming from planning authorities.
Some tourists want a bike to tootle around for the day, and will hire it for the day. Some will come deliberately to ride the Adelaide Hills or follow the TDU. Their bikes probably cost more than their cars. They aren't putting them in a public-access bike rail. They'll take them in to their rooms.Ho Really wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 9:00 pmPeFe wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 1:34 pmWhy does a hotel need to have bicycle parking spots reserved for guests?

I believe the planning authority has no prescribed height limit but they are still bound by airport flight paths. Been on the forum for years and I have never seen anyone convincingly explain how these work and how strict these are. Does anyone know what would happen if a developer proposed a let’s say, 180m tower in the capital city zone? What would be the likelihood of the airport authority saying it would be fine thus granting approval?aceman wrote:after reading the article can someone please explain what “no prescribed height limit zone” means exactly. it sounds too obvious but I'm sure I'm missing something..
condescending response.. very helpful...
https://www.adelaideairport.com.au/corp ... approvals/ seems to give a reasonable attempt at an explanation. It includes the AHD limits for the Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS) and says "New developments may penetrate the OLS but only in particular locations and if strict requirements are met.".cmet wrote: ↑Sat May 01, 2021 10:42 amI believe the planning authority has no prescribed height limit but they are still bound by airport flight paths.

Bugger. Oh well, as long as it doesn’t drop below 100 metres.VinyTapestry849 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 12:56 pmNo its shrunk to around 120mtimtam20292 wrote: ↑Wed May 23, 2018 10:37 amThanks for the update Ben, fingers crossed it stays that height.
