STRIP club the Crazy Horse has been forced to remove raunchy images of semi-naked women from its Hindley St building after complaints from fellow traders.
The billboard broadcast women in varying stages of undress on a large LED sign on the facade of the building.
The images were advertising events at North Tce venue The Firm which is co-owned by management of the Crazy Horse.
Adelaide West End Association president Andrew Wallace said traders, their staff and UniSA had contacted his group to raise concerns about the “offensive” images prompting him to lodge a complaint with the council and the Advertising Standards Bureau.
“We acknowledge the adult entertainment businesses have long been a part of Hindley St, but a whole variety of people use this street day and night,” he said.
“It is a legal business but some discretion should be required.”
A council spokeswoman said the council had ordered the Crazy Horse to stop the “offending advertising” on the grounds it breached conditions of planning approval.
Under approval granted in May last year the display should not “contain any elements of a salacious or controversial nature to the reasonable satisfaction of (the) council”.
She said the Crazy Horse had removed the images.
Councillor Anne Moran said “Hindley St just is not a strip club joint anymore” and that the street was trying to attract more families and university students to the area.
“It has a vibrant burgeoning daytime and early evening culture, which the night-time strip club joints have to acknowledge and respect,” she said.
An Advertising Standards Bureau spokeswoman said it would investigate the complaints.
The Crazy Horse has been contacted for comment.
