Wherever possible, use satellite strips for helicopter circuit operations.
They do that at Sunshine Coast, using Teewah strip, a set of small crossed runways to the north in a national park area with less people permanently living near it than on the Sun (North Koreans excepted) and yet there is a massive push from Noosa residents to get its use prohibited.

Why?

Transiting helicopters. I believe part of the council's separation from the "amalgamated councils situation" propaganda was that "we will stop the overflights and use of the strip!"

A. Teewah strip. It's in a national park. Council has less say in it than Kevvy at a Jooliar fan convention.

B. Overflying. See statement A.
