1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Together do to see Ellen rich List a couple Anna

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Mobray and ex All Black. Ali Williams have had a

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: bit of a roadblock in their plans to build a

4
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: hallipad in Herne Bay. They've been wanting permission to have

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: two return flights a day to their mansion. Environmentalists and

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: nimbis though, don't like the idea. Now they've basically got

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of a win for themselves. They're going

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: to get a public hearing to voice their concerns. Herne

9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: Bay Residents Association co chair Dirk Hugh Digg is with

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: me now, hey.

11
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: Dirk, hi, how are you very well?

12
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 3: Thank you? Why don't you like the hallipad?

13
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: Well? Helicopters and taking off and landing is not a

14
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: normal sort of a residential activity in an urban area.

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 2: Are They're noisy and they are so very dirty. If

16
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: you live next door to somebody who's got a helipad,

17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: the noise is excruciating. You're going to go inside if

18
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: you're having a barbecue outside, Yes, and everybody's got to

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: go inside towards It's quite likely that you we're going

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: to have to clean all the garden furniture. They be

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: covered and stuff from Propeller Wash, it's just a distance

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: living next door to them.

23
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 3: How close are you to the helicopter?

24
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: Well, we have people who have helicopter learning just over.

25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: The fence, so you've already got this problem.

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: There's three helicopter learning pads and they existing ones that

27
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: are that are consented?

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 3: And how close are the ones on top of it?

29
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: There's another ones on top of the boathouse? Yeah?

30
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 3: And are these are these? Are these things messing up

31
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: your garden furniture? Dirk?

32
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely? And the one on the boathouse if the tides

33
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 2: in the wrong place and the next door neighbor gets

34
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 2: sea spray.

35
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: And is anybody very close to Mowbray and Williams's helipad?

36
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: There are people reasonably close to that. Yes, there's four

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: people who will be affected by by noise, according to

38
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: the documents issued yesterday to make it a public notification.

39
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: So noise beyond what they're what they're supposed to get.

40
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: Is there anything that these two can do to sort

41
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: of mitigate the effects and get the helipad over the line.

42
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly what they what they can do.

43
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they should simply withdraw. It's not

44
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: it's not a not a usual activity in an urban area,

45
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: and it's just a nuisance. If you can imagine if

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: lots of people have these helipads, you'd have these helicopters

47
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 2: going back and forth all weekend. Then you've been over helicopters.

48
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: We get them here. They're just noisey in a nuisance.

49
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: There's no need for them. There's no need for them

50
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: in an urban setting when you can when you can

51
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: drive down to either the all Shore or Mechanics Bay

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: which is just you know, maybe for ten minutes away,

53
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: and you can take off from there from what's a

54
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: proper facility. Yeah, that's sort he is right.

55
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: So there's basically no middle ground day. It's either either

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: either on or off basically exactly.

57
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: And if you go to a lot of cities, particularly

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: in Australia, big cities, their band.

59
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: All right, Hey, Duke, thank you for that.
