Have a look at this site:

What a bunch of d*ckheads! These guys have a serious problem with aviation, ANY aviation, at Moorabbin.

What’s caused them to put up this site? Well the Moorabbin Airport Master Plan is out for public comments and, shock horror, it actually says that the airport will have the cheek to fulfill its role as an airport: ie: a base for aircraft to fly from. They obviously don’t like this one little bit.

If the government did what they want, which is:

2. A discontinuation of all training flights and all forms of repeated low altitude circuit flying.
3. An immediate cap on aircraft movements and then a 30% reduction to levels which existed before the airport was privatised.
4. Considerably improved transparency of information and publication of data on all incidents which have the potential to compromise aircraft, airport or community safety.
5. A moratorium on use of the airport by jets, corporate aircraft, regional airlines and other multi-seat commercial operations.
6. No night or early morning flights and no arrivals or departures when the Moorabbin control tower is not in operation.
7. Tighter enforcement of civil aviation regulations and manditory use of tracking transponders by all aircraft using the Moorabbin airspace as a form of basic pilot accountability and so that the public has some way of identifying and referring to aircraft.
8. A compulsory fly friendly policy prepared in consultation with the local community with particular attention to repetitive aircraft movements and helicopter activity.
