Then the councils allow land to be developed right up to the boundary. Then the noise complaints begin. Same as every airport in Oz.
When the population is going up by over a thousand people a day those people need to live somewhere and most of them probably aren’t that fond of aircraft noise in their newfound homes.

The circle of life, not dissimilar to a holding pattern.
