Friends of Karori Cemetery - consulting on the Conservation Plan
The Friends' are currently being consulted on the Conservation Plan for Karori Cemetery and would love your feedback. We have the following questions and welcome your answers or any other comments you have:
- To what standard do you think the graves should be cleaned or restored, or should they be left to the families to look after?
- If Karori Cemetery was to become a heritage park, how do you imagine it should look in 50 years?
- Are there areas of the cemetery that should be left to slowly decay?
If you prefer, you can email your answers to: info@friendsofkaroricmetery.co.nz
Comments on this post will close on 31st May.

✈ Understanding the DMAPS Changes ✈
We received this interesting question from a resident who has received the Wellington Airport consultation documents. To answer this question, here's what you should look out for:
🔎*Compare the old vs. new flight paths*:
*Page 7*: Old flight path
*Page 4*: New flight path (however, see more in the comments 👇)
🔎*Check page 2*: It mentions that pilots can request to deviate from the path, but 'occasionally deviating' is very different from being directly under the new path. Previously, lighter turboprop planes flew over, but now DMAPS concentrates jet engine aircraft over suburbs, causing a significant noise increase.
📊*Noise impact*:
*Old*: 54dB (prop planes) - this is what an Airways Report tells us.
*New*: Up to 80dB (jet engines) - actual noise captured by sound monitors in the suburbs (this isn't included in the consultation documentation). And remember, decibels increase exponentially like the Richter scale!
🚨Plus, unlike on the previous flight path, DMAPS means more frequent flights, with smaller gaps between them, and an increase in jet departures means higher noise levels for longer periods over the new path. That's why we're pushing for the DMAPS decision to be *reversed*, reverting to the old flight path - which isn't the same as sending all the jets over another suburb.
