The NCA did ask us at ACT Wildlife because they were concerned the  flying fox colony in Commonwealth Park might be impacted.

We raised our concerns regarding the fly out every evening and if the planes were going to enter the lake from the airport direction ( Jerra wetlands ) then it would be a major issue . 

They advised the flights would cease at 4pm so were were did not express concerns .  I doubted they would be impacted by the noise as it would not be nearly as loud nor as the deafening as the 21 gun salute on Australia Day or the F111 which does impact them greatly .

However now hearing the planes are quite loud it will be interesting to see if they are impacted if they are we will raise it with them  .

It doesn't matter that the punters are rich.  This is an atrocity!

Hi Deb and Rod,

From the ABC today, 

It is part of a trial where (extremely rich) people can get flights from Rose Bay in Sydney to Lake Burley Griffin, with scenic flights also proposed. 
The article is unclear as to whether there has been any consultation with environmental groups to mitigate any damage. 

Kind regards,
Alberta.

We were at Jerra Wetlands today and noticed that 2 Seaplanes flew over Kellys and the wetlands,  they were lower than we would have expected.

Should they be doing this?
