Way back in the recesses of my memory there was a case where a landowner tried unsuccessfully to claim ownership of the airspace above his property but the black letter overrides this as far as aerodromes are concerned.
Join the airport users action group and add more weight to their representations.

The landowner was Lord Bernstein, who claimed - unsuccessfully - that a pilot doing aerial photography over his land was trespassing. Various laws have been passed in Australia to make clear that an aircraft overhead property in the ordinary course of navigation is not trespassing on that property. Not quite the same a prohibiting charges for being overhead...
I make it a habit to avoid, to the extent practicable, anywhere that charges.
The selling off of Commonwealth aerodromes is one of the more aggregious crimes against the taxpayer and aviation.
