Near miss events over area of Melbourne CBD
CG,
The zone boundary is that, a boundary. You and I can fly right up to it, without infringing airspace, but common sense and good airmanship dictates some awareness of what is going on around you. We operate to the Yarra helipads without CTA clearances, that's what it's all about, and give calls on the CTAF. If we're going into EN CTA, listen out on tower, squawk 0100 early to give them a heads up.
Nothing wrong or illegal about the seaplane nor the Tiger. The seaplane just did its usual run up the Yarra in front of me, we saw each other, and a quick call on 132.1 to make sure.
From another G.O.M.

Folks
How do you go about planning a CBD orbit flight? Is there a preferred direction and time?
Can you do it at the end of an IFR flight on the way back to MB?

certainly can.
Other more recent drivers in that area can give you a heads up on direction, time etc but one suggestion I will make is if in doubt contact the tower by phone and have a chat.
Very helpfull and may give you some ideas on best entry piont(s)

Interesting that the ENR allows +/-1 nm of CTR boundary. Does that mean the minus bit is the nod to fly one mile inside the CTR and not get into trouble with ATC?
