I would say this is the best sort of consultation we could have - seeing as everyone will have the opportunity to base their response on actual evidence rather than constant NIMBYism and wikipedia quotes on aircraft noise levels...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-16292650226481644202012-01-25T18:46:32.524+00:002012-01-25T18:46:32.524+00:00Hi Tim,

However, TDC created and signed this document and they must be liable if it fails to properly control night-flights. I assume they will be commissioning a study to find out just how much they could be in the hole for if local residents mount a class action against them. I know that one group of residents has already contacted a solicitor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-14632343880747063252012-01-25T17:32:31.671+00:002012-01-25T17:32:31.671+00:00As others have pointed out elsewhere the present S...As others have pointed out elsewhere the present S106 only requires Infratil to submit a night flight plan; this doesn't have to be approved for night flights to happen. As far as I can see they could produce a plan with one night flight a minute and there is nothing that anyone could do about it. The Olympic news is probably just a precursor to the long term reality of night flights.Tim Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360638835659673415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-7547821763658292112012-01-24T20:33:41.677+00:002012-01-24T20:33:41.677+00:00So let's get this straight.

On the day that TDC publishes the independent report which they have commissioned into night-flights, Infratil announces that vast numbers of night-flights will be taking place because of the Olympics. I would say that this all rather invalidates the consultation which is supposed to take place. What's the point of consulting about something if it's already been decided that it will be taking place? Looks like our Council has stitched us up (yet again).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
