In the Christchurch region, CIAL has a consistent history of successful objections to resource consent applications for residential sub-division within their 50db noise boundary.
In response to an application for a large residential sub-division in Rolleston 16 Km south of the airport, (Plan change 71, Selwyn District Council, CIAL submission 18 August 2021), CIAL filed multiple objections, stating “CIAL opposes any residential density increase under the 50dB Ldn Air Noise Contours. They state emphatically, “Development should not occur in areas under the noise contour”.
Imposing a map of the Christchurch Airport noise contour on to the Cromwell basin shows that CIAL would oppose resource consent applications for housing sub-division from Pisa Moorings, along the Pisa flats, the Bendigo region, and Queensberry. If the Hawea runway option were chosen, this would include Luggate and areas close to Hawea Flat.
