General Aviation - Beware an Impending Government Airspace Grab by Stealth.
The Dept of Conservation and Land management in WA, (CALM), has posted a draft policy document for the management of wilderness areas on it's website
See:
www.wa.gov.au/national_parks/management
Check carefully Section 4.7 on p3, and Section 5.5 and 5.6 on p5 - and gnash your teeth!
There will be a "consultative" meeting with all stakehjolders at Manjimup WA, on Saturday 9th August at 10.00AM. (You'll note that this has been very well publicised!!)
This represents an outrageous and unlawful attempt to prevent GA entering airspace which belongs to all Australians, not just a few who want solitude!
With typical sneakiness, this alliance of state government and treehuggers is attempting to overrule Commonwealth law.
Whilst this is only a draft policy statement, it could be rushed through before we have time to do much.
We need a legal opinion on it - ASAP.
Attend the Manjimup meeting if you have an interest in this.
cheers,
