Resident Question - DMAPS Flight Path

Plane Sense from Plane Sense

✈️ We've received a question from a resident under the DMAPS flight path who used Flightradar and Webtrak to challenge the altitude data in Wellington Airport's consultation documents.

We can confirm (📸 see the pic in the comments) that flights have been recorded at altitudes below 3,000 feet over Khandallah and below 4,000 feet over Johnsonville.

The terrain in these areas varies significantly: 🌳 Khandallah is 880 feet, 🌄 Broadmeadows is 984 feet, 🏘️ Johnsonville is 495 feet, 🏞️ Horokiwi is 820 feet, 🌊 Korokoro is 135 feet, and 🏡 Newlands is 453 feet.

So, while the document doesn’t explicitly state it, flights are flying low and close to the suburbs under the current DMAPS flight path. 🌍 Sea level comparisons aren’t an accurate representation because the topography of our Wellington suburbs varies! 🌿

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
