The Human Impact of the Flight Path Change - Greg's Story
Neighbour - Greg, suffered a traumatic brain injury 20 years ago and has not been able to work since the injury. He battles continuously with hyper-sensitivity to noise and brain fatigue which is hugely affected by noise. He bought a house in the quiet northern suburbs to help him manage these symptoms. The DMAPs flight path change has worsened his condition, which is severe and affects everything he does.
Everyday Wellingtonians - including children, the elderly and vulnerable members of our community, are suffering the effects of the flight path change. Caused by decisions made (and continuing to be made) by Airways New Zealand, Wellington International Airport, Civil Aviation Authority of NZ and Wellington City Council (as shareholder).

It’s not about whose turn it is. It’s about an unfair and unprofessional process that lacks integrity.
We are holding to account Wellington Airport, Airways, the Civil Aviation Authority and Wellington City Council (as a current Airport shareholder).
A proper consultation process didn't happen before the implementation of DMAPs. We are arguing a lack of fair process before change. If the residents had been consulted before the change, they could have had a say before the status quo for the last 60 years was altered. Those residents who knew a change in noise would be an issue for them and their health could have had their say and been considered.
Plane Sense represents everyday Wellingtonians. There are public health, legal and safety concerns with the DMAPs flight path change.
Plane Sense is fundraising to commence a judicial review. Find out more and support us today.
