Aerodrome curfew, user fees and charges
Swan Hill Rural City Council is proposing a night time curfew and new user fees and charges for Swan Hill and Robinvale Aerodromes.
The proposal for the curfew comes after a number of noise complaints were received regarding noise generated by aircraft using airspace over Swan Hill for circuit training.
Director of Infrastructure Svetla Petkova said that the proposed night time curfew would assist to limit circuit training activities by flight training aircraft.
“We are proposing that the night time curfew take effect from 11pm until 6am, seven days of the week”

The Schembri family has put its almond orchard near Griffith in the NSW Riverina up for sale as it looks to expand its neighbouring melon operations into the Northern Territory.
Price expectations are understood to be around $30 million for the Greenview Farms almond orchard at 1648 Boorga Road in Tabbita, 16 kilometres north of Griffith.
The 584.59-hectare landholding has 430 hectares planted to various almond varieties, including Nonpareil, Monterey and Wood Colony – all planted in 2015 – and Nonpareil and Shasta, planted in 2019.
Almond trees take five to six years to reach full nut-bearing capacity.

In his home town of Robinvale, Paul Costa is somewhat of a local legend. As one-fourth of the band Shadow Rock, if you attended a wedding in Sunraysia in the 90s, chances are, you tapped your toes to one of their tunes. From a small-town boy to a country music icon, it s hard to deny the talents of this homegrown Robinvale hero. Paul sat down with ASHLEE FALVO to chat about the transition from rock n roll to country music, how he balances touring and family and why, despite earning national music accolades, he still calls Sunraysia home.
