Christchurch earthquakes

[Grumph]

Any noise restrictions arising out of the sale of Kaiapoi sections are going to be on the airport.....the track is safe for the forseeable future.

Off the topic of quakes but I represented a club at a meeting between track users - incl speedway - and the locals incl the ChCH city Council.
The outcome of that has been an initiative by the Canty Car Club to buy up surrounding properties and specifically those belonging to the most vocal of the complainers.
Once the council reps realised just how much business the track generates they became very co-operative.....

...oi, you lot...keep it down...4.8 Port Levy..

Just look at the noise restrictions introduced at Western Springs in Auckland ...
...

My understanding of that was the noise restrictions were always in place they just weren't adhered to?

The residents just wanted what was always in place actually enforced

Canterbury's moving around the fixed lump of the Peninsula - you've got to expect some noise in the neighbourhood....
Bet it echoed round the bay though....is Wally Brown's island halfway out the bay still there ? Don't remember the real name but he built the house on the small rock.
Would not like to be on there at present as I see there's been more this evening.

If anybody thinks the same can't happen in Christchurch ... they're dreaming ...

Agreed. People will accept it for maybe 15 years but then the complaints will start: "There's a lot more planes than when we first moved here" "We were told new planes would get quieter but they haven't" "The airport doesn't care about us and deliberately sends planes over our house" etc etc.

Stupidity.

Its always amused me that the best suburbs in Christchurch (Fendalton and Ilam) are directly in the flight path. They are noisy places despite the leafy streets.

I was living in Queenstown when JET aircraft started on commercial flights ... the uproar began ...

ONE woman (Kelvin Heights) rang the Airport manager and DEMANDED they do not land or take off between 12 and 1 o'clock ... as SHE likes/wanted to have her lunch in peace ...

As someone who lives a 5min drive from the airport, I can tell you, you do get used to the noise. We don't actually hear them as much now. Just now and again you get the bigger planes taking off that you hear.

Try moving 2km west and you might have a different opinion, right under the extended centreline is a different game altogether.

So how much stuff fell down in your garage in that little shake??

[Shadows]

That was a biggie alright. 15 - 16 - 17,000 people on Quake Live and counting.

5.5 near Godley Head

That was interesting indeed.
