Trouble building?

Victorian state government 'planning' nabobs have reportedly approved plans for Melbourne's tallest building (The Australia 108 Tower) which will stretch 388 metres above ground level when/if completed. Aesthetic considerations aside, it seems they may not have given due attention to the fact that the building will encroach 13 metres into space allocated to aircraft on final landing approach to Essendon airport over the CBD from a southerly direction

Commercial pilots have quickly railed against this latest mooted incursion. They claim flight path diversions in force to avoid the extant Eureka Tower have already created a very steep and potentially  dangerous descent path. Fortunately, the controlling authority over airport safety (federal) have not yet been asked to consider the planning request. Let's hope wiser heads prevail. After 30 odd years in the aviation game, I know that aircraft and tall buildings do not mix well. They need to give each other the widest berth possible.

And, clearly, airborne transportation is far more important to contemporary society than an extra few metres of seemingly hormonal driven building space?
