I shake my head.....
The Busselton Shire is one of the worst Shire's I've previously had to deal with.
For me to have a helicopter tourism operation based at the Busselton Airport the Busselton Shire demanded that a clause be present so that if there were ANY helicopter noise complaints that my approval to operate from the airport would immediately be revoked.
I wonder if that same clause will be present with the major airlines? Of course not.....
The Busselton Shire is just another one of those towns who love the tourism dollar but not the tourism that comes with it.
The entire Busselton Shire (and Augusta Margaret River Shire) need to be totally disbanded and new staff brought in who know how to effectively build a tourism region to benefit the locals and local businesses.
It'll be a matter of time before the NIMBY's start protesting and the Shire's will bow down to them...... again.
