If you don't like the noise, move!

But what about those of us John Howard screwed. My wife and I specifically bought where we are having suffered between the flight paths in Stanmore after the commencement of parallel runway operations. It had never regularly been under flight paths, especially for jet operations.

Then, lo and behold "noise sharing" came into play.

I agree with a pp's statement - the curfew has been in place for many decades and is enshrined in legislation. There is a reasonable expectation on the part of the community that it will remain.

That said, some greater flexibility around the edges does seem reasonable.
