Wellington International Airport should have consulted with the community about the DMAPs flight path change. It did not. Find out more - visit tinyurl.com/PlaneSenseFAQ1. This time it’s our community. Next time it could be yours. More in the comments.

The consultation now offered was required by law prior to development of the DMAPS concept.

Looking through Airways New Zealand OIA documents Plane Sense received, we found references to community consultation as long ago as November 2021, but alongside that was mention that the local community could be a "roadblock", suggestions that "impact frequently comes down to perception, influenced by publicity", and "Airways would like this implemented in December this year. We (Wellington Airport) therefore need this work reasonably quickly!" Even the Airnoise Committee meeting minutes don't reference the DMAPs flight path change until March 2023, after implementation. The first communication went up on the Wellington Airport website on 20 December 2022, a day after the first known complaint was made.

Understandably, residents are angry about the lack of courtesy, consistency, professionalism and regard for our community and affected individuals. We believe the organisations have been cavalier with residents' health and well-being.

Plane Sense is holding Wellington International Airport, Airways New Zealand, Civil Aviation Authority of NZ and Wellington City Council (as a shareholder) to account for a change that happened over the northern suburbs on 1 December 2022. As well as significant legal issues, there are public health and safety concerns for residents and our local environment. Plane Sense is fundraising to commence a judicial review. Have questions?

Plane Sense is a local community group pushing back on an unlawful flight path change. This time it’s our community, next time it could be yours.

The affected residents have a legitimate expectation that Wellington Airport (having public law responsibilities) would consult before any proposal to divert aircraft over their suburbs. The consultation they are now offering was required by law BEFORE the DMAPs flight path change was developed.

Change is divisive, so it's frustrating that a proper consultation process didn't happen before implementing the DMAPs flight path change. We are arguing a lack of fair process before the change. If the residents had been consulted beforehand, 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 is holding Wellington International Airport Airways New Zealand, Civil Aviation Authority of NZ and Wellington City Council (as a shareholder) to account for a change over the northern suburbs on 1 December 2022. As well as significant legal issues, there are public health and safety concerns for residents and our local environment. Plane Sense is fundraising to commence a judicial review. Have questions?
