I lived in Gympie town for a while, and did a bit of work at the Kybong Airport.
Having followed this issue for a few years and signed the petition to council to have the restrictions modified or lifted, when the idea was first mooted.
A well known helicopter company from a bit further south, spent a lot of money, time and effort to build a hangar and try to set up some of his activities here, this effort was being stymied by one or two local residents who made a lot of noise about hover and hover taxying at the field.
As usual, it is just two or so people who bought well after the airfield was established that have caused the problems.
This latest is just a continuation of that.
FWIW Cheers
