Here's an out-of-the-box approach.

Full stop landings at country aerodrome $0 below 10 tonne (possible more?) aircraft.
Landings plus a take-off 9+ hours later $-5 per aircraft.
Kept in credit at local businesses (bakeries, restaurants, cafes, hotels, motels etc.) with PILOT OPTION to donate to local projects (playgrounds, libraries etc.) and local businesses given the the perogative to consider donations due to increased business. Some country businesses may be struggling and simply cannot "give" and that is fine. Some businesses will benefit more than others.

Local councils need to determine that a slight increase in trade to many of their local businesses (and the flow-on effect to the local economy) may be all that is required.
