Random movements quite often acceptable. Continuous joy flights drive people mad.
Suggest the joy flights stop before a complete closure like in Sydney .
Dick, there are no continuous helicopter joy flights to be stopped in Melbourne. They are random and indistinguishable from day to day helicopter movements, which have operated from the Yarra helipads for about 40 years. Your research will show you that.
City orbits by joyflighting fixed wing from Moorabbin are just as frequent, as are inbound RPT routing for right base to 34 at YMML overflying at ~2,000-2,500ft.
