I sent the Council a note over the week end. Did anyone else.?
One suggestion was that they erect a sign saying ..
'Gympie Welcomes Careful Aviators. Enjoy our Town and beautiful Region.

I,m sure there's no PPR for trucks and motor-homes thru town on council roads
And that since GA is a rapid transport system...3 days notice is silly* and impractical
*silly ...as in the infection of bureaucrats with the 'idiot virus'..to come up with stupid, unworkable ideas.

In the past I have use Gympie a s 'whistle stop' in passing, an operations base for 4 -5 days and a safe haven from a storm en-route to elsewhere.
The town benefited in pie sales, taxis, motels, coffee shops and etc.
So you do have to wonder at the logic of 'consultants' and councillors to arrive at PPR.

Yet again, its a classic case of we the av.citizens getting disadvantaged by bureaucrats inserting themselves into yr life and how you may ..or NOT..do business.
Thus do our rights and freedoms get whittled away. Is this what our forebears fought and gave their lives for...so we can live chained to the ground by 'rules' and 'regulations' by the bloated outgrowth of bureaucrazies.?
Civil disobedience or the pitch forks.? Keep this up and it WILL happen.
