Calling for Plane Sense for our community
Pushing back on a flight path change implemented with zero consultation with residents. That is affecting residents' health and wellbeing.
Wellington
We are fundraising to push back on increased aircraft noise in our suburbs, to fund legal action against Wellington Airport, Airways New Zealand and the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand.
On 1 December 2022, Airways NZ implemented a new flight path system, approved by Wellington International Airport, knowingly impacting our neighbourhood but without a consultation process. As residents, we care passionately about our surroundings, our community's well-being, the tranquillity of our maunga - Mount Kaukau/Tarikākā and its surrounding nature reserve, which is home to recovering populations of native birds.
We are creating a strong, collective voice to be heard and effect change for the peace of our community. We are challenging the process and implementation of this flight path decision and need to raise funds to launch legal proceedings, to represent our suburbs. We are here as kaitiaki/guardians, to advocate for more birdsong and less aircraft noise at the foothill of Mount Kaukau/Tarikākā. Find out more - www.planesensewellington.com.
Use of funds
Updated on 22/04: We're fundraising $100k to issue legal proceedings. If for any reason the case cannot proceed, funds will be used to meet any initial legal costs incurred for preparation work.
We are raising funds for marketing material to reach our neighbours offline, and for expert and legal advice so our community is fairly represented. Excess funds will be donated to environmental organisations protecting our local native birdlife.

📊An economist from Sapere Research Group, a leading Australasian consultancy, has provided an affidavit detailing the loss of property values for homeowners below and near the DMAPS flight paths and the wealth transfer from residents to multi-million-dollar corporations.
📉The reduction in property values as a result of the DMAPS flight path change is independent of generic fluctuations in property values.
