1. Dear Councillors

   I think it is inappropiate to have a helicopter landing pad in a residental area. The town plan does not recommend such a facility because of the noise and danger associated with such a facility. The owner says that it will be used only twice a week but what is to stop the owner from using the helicopter on a regular bases, once a helicopter landing pad has been approved, it makes a precident for other helicopters to be used in residental areas.

   There are many nesting shore birds on the lagoon, such as a Seaeagle, a helicopter landing and taking off will disturbe these birds and they may die as they have no other place to nest and eat.

   Please do not approve this development.

   Dear Sir/Madam

   I am against Mr Perry or anyone else being allowed to use this land for the landing, takeoffs and storage for this or any kind of helicopter or helicopters. The airport is the appropriate place for this purpose. I suggest Mr Perry purchase a very large property in a rural area away from Bargara, and a busy street and beach where families swim and picnic.

   To allow Mr Perry to get his way is leaving the door open for other people with money to change the use of land for their own selfish purposes.

   His talk of "shark watching" is ludicrous as this would go against his talk of minimal use.

   Any talk by people of tourists etc, is already jumping ahead further to imply that a commercial scenic helicopter flight centre could impact further on this residential area.
   The whole idea of someone landing and taking off in any kind of an aircraft from here is absolutely ridiculous. For one thing the property is far too small, too close to a busy road and houses, not to mention the children swimming nearby. The takeoff and landing of an aircraft including a helicopter regardless of the brand name, size etc is the time most accidents occur.
   Is the Bundaberg Regional Council prepared for possible future lawsuits if anyone was to be injured by a miscalculation by Mr Perry or anyone else landing and taking off from here?

   Please do not approve this development.

4. It is for good reasons of public safety, noise abatement and concern for the environment that the take off and landing of aircraft are effected from land that is, as far as possible, set aside from residential development and subjected to strict regulatory provisions. Air ports are suitably equiped with flight management, fire and medical facilities as well as trained staff to deal with the threats posed by these risks.

   The risk of accident and mishap are considerable and it is unreasonable to permit the take off and landing of aircraft from a residential property zoned exclusively for residential purposes. Particularly one as densely populated and proximity to community recreational parks, swimming areas and a golf course.

   Surely counsellors will recognise the risk to life and property and accept that it is wrong to expect that other families who have chosen to live in this precinct should share this risk to satisfy the recreational pusuits of one resident.
