Committee to deal with Airport Noise Complaints
An airport related group came into existence in August 2007 following the adoption of the Airport Noise Management Plan by the Kāpiti Coast District Council.
The committee, the Aircraft Noise Community Liaison Group, is chaired by Murray Jensen and comprises representatives from the Paraparaumu community, airport users, airport owner and management and local iwi.
The full committee is:
- Independent Chair: Murray Jensen
- Airport Manager: Anthony (AJ) Wackrow
- Community Board representative: Louella Jensen
- Community Representative: Don Day
- Community Representative: Mervyn Monk
- Airport Operator: Richard Bull
- Te Ati Awa ki Whakarongotai: Jack Rikihana
- Steve Booten: Director, Paraparaumu Airport Holdings Ltd
- Council Advisor: Colin Bridges
- Secretary: Jean McBirney
“Airport noise levels are already prescribed in the District Plan” said Mr Jensen, “and all the various airport users are familiar with those rules.”
The committee is required to determine the process for attending to noise complaints and to regularly review that process and activity.
“From the public’s point of view, the most important thing in making any complaint about noisy aircraft, is to do it promptly and to have available the time of the incident and a description,” said Mr Jensen.
Complaints
All complaints should be directed to the Airport Manager at the airport either in writing or by telephone.

All documentation and findings will be reviewed by the Community Committee.
“So far there has been very good cooperation and understanding between the parties. The community, particularly those in vicinity of the airport, will be encouraged to use the process if concerns arise,” Mr Jensen said.
