Good spiel Rutan,
Apart from the discriminatory aspect of the behavior of Councils, ...and I believe Wagga Aero Club just had a win over the Council re the discrimination aspect of aerodrome charges. Free in the parks and road stops, a charge to park at the airfield.!!
Councils are all about sucking the buck..other peoples !..., so that they can spend it, waste it, and fritter it away ...and just jack up a 'fee' or a 'levy' for the next bite.
Well past time for a fightback and normal rights for aviation individuals.
AOPA please note !!!
