In 2016 Wellington Airport applied to extend its runway by 355m into Lyall Bay.
This would have stuffed up the marine environment.
The Guardians were formed to stop this.
We supported the Pilots Association of New Zealand and got it stopped in 2019.
We thought that was job done but the extension is back in the Airports expansion plans.

Recreational flights circle the eastern peninsula at low altitude.
We dont think this is appropriate in a climate emergency.
Its also really noisy which impacts the wellbeing of the community.
The Guardians have been campaigning to get the flight paths changed.
This happened in Dec 2021.
