Report from Benoit Pette
Following a year-long process to rally the community and engage with Eastern ward Councillors, two meetings have been organised at the Wellington City Council between No-Fly Zone, members of the Wellington Aero Club, City Councillors and the Airport (although the latter only attended the first one). The meetings were to discuss the noise inflicted on residents (especially Miramar North, Roseneath and Lyall Bay) by recreational air traffic when the Aero Club runs the circuit.
This issue had become particularly clear following lockdown, where many residents had experienced the peace from airspace cleared of traffic.
The first meeting, organised on the 10th of November, allowed each party to present their point of view. The Aero Club outlined the constraints it was operating under and its multiple contributions to the community; the Airport explained it wasn’t responsible for determining the circuit, and No-Fly Zone read multiple statements from residents
