On 1 December 2022, Airways, New Zealand's air navigation service provider, implemented a new flight path system (DMAPS), which was approved by Wellington International Airport Limited (WIAL). This was done without consultation with northern suburb residents and knowingly impacting the residents of Johnsonville, Broadmeadows and Khandallah, who have voiced health, wellbeing, safety and financial concerns. The effect of this change is also reaching our neighbours in Ōhāriu Valley, Ngaio and Crofton Downs. As residents, we care passionately about our surroundings, our community's well-being, the tranquillity of our maunga and its surrounding nature reserve, which is home to recovering populations of native birds. 

We are challenging the process, implementation and safety claims of this flight path decision. We are creating a strong, collective voice to be heard and effect change for the peace of our community. We are here as kaitiaki/guardians, to advocate for more birdsong and less aircraft at the foothill of Mount Kaukau/Tarikākā.
