Wakefeild Closes 1Sept for Good

No surprise there really as its been on the cards for some time they had been screwed down to only being able to open 4 days a month so guess that just don’t make economic sense… hmm 🤔
 
Not that the article goes into detail, but it mentioned noise. We had a training track shut down for 1noise(y) complainant about a K away. Between a rail shunting area. At Perth airport, with the track on the leased airport industrial land.
 
There are buggar all close neighbours, the closest is a large sheep station and they are supporters. It's completely nuts and unreasonable for people kilometres away to get a result like this. More info here.

FkMeDrunk. Same as in Perth. One complainant over noise.
 
Pathetic.
Makes me wonder who the complainant is. When we moved onto our rural property on the mid north coast, the local council provided a very comprehensive run down of rural life - what happens 24/7 and the fact that there is no such thing as a noise complaint in a rural area in the local council area. Noise is a discussion between owners.
In a rural town, the usual restrictions apply.
 
The new circuit they're supposed the be building in Albany has finally got through all the hurdles but due to noise complaints from distant farms the 1/8 mile drag is off the plans and the MX circuit had restrictions in place like 1 event/month but no mention of the 3.5km road circuit as to restrictions. It's bum fuck nowhere so can't understand the problem. It's a big win for Albany.
If your not familiar with it check out Albany Motoplex.
 
WA has a proposal for a track close to Perth metro, complimenting the existing Wanneroo circuit well to the north, At Keysbrook. The proponents have lodged a DA (Feb 22) and is going through the process.

To be at the stage of lodging the DA means significant investment in a low population density area with strong local support.

You just need that one noise objection from someone miles from the track, regardless of any proof of adverse impact, to kill the project.
 
Don't do it on the road they said, do it on a track. Those fast disappearing tracks out there in dreamland. I used to think all that sound reduction rules on Britsh tracks seemed a bit OCD. I was doing a bit of work on a house approx 10 or a bit less km from Eastern Creek, put it this way well well outside an easy walk and with the right wind direction you could hear the cars, apparently, street legal cars circulating. I was surprised at how far the sound travelled.
 
Hi Dave
By the time Keysbrook and Albany are finished I'll be too fucken old to ride on them. I find it hard to believe a rich state like WA doesn't have a world standard circuit. I like Collie since the upgrade in length but Wannaroo is way past it's use by date and though it's been years since I was last up there I bet housing is encroaching and the long ago plans to extend it will never happen.
 
I've been wondering how long the Broadford motorcycling complex will last. It's in the middle of nowhere now, but some day someone will build a house within earshot and then whinge about the noise.
 
Maybe, I hate to be rude but it looks like the aftermath of a nuclear winter. I cannot see grass growing about there anytime soon. I guess you could have said the same about Amaroo back in the day and its Millionaires row these days.

Someone will.

We nearly lost Levels circuit at Timaru in the SI a few years ago. It's on a plain out from a ridge of hills which are built on. Local doctor led the moaners. Track was and still is limited to the number of days operating. But local chamber of commerce hit the council with figures of how much the track brought in and they eased proposed harsher regs quite a bit. Then the doc got caught exceeding the noise regs with his private plane.....
and moved away. Council have a permanent noise monitor station there which is manned at all meetings.
At least it's still running and the noise limits are the same as the other SI circuits.
 
Too many whinging f&5ks on the planet. They move next door to a chook farm or a piggery that has been operating for 50 years and start complaining about the smell. They buy a house next door to a pub that has had lve music for the past 50 years and start complaining about the noise. They buy in a suburb that has had a speedway operating since before WWII and the noise complaints start. And, jeez, those windfarms are bloody noisy and are making me sick because I can't sleep.

Bunch of whinging feckers should do their research and piss off and live elsewhere.

Sure does when it comes to wind farms, getting protested out of the park here in this uber-green painted country.
These people get their houses by the noise source cheaper because of the noise, then if they make enough noise they get the noise stopped.
 
Most people are motivated by self-interest. They don't give a rat's arse about anyone else or the history of the area they've just moved into.

Some people are never happy. The worst example I came across was a neighbour of mine a few years ago. I live on a waterfront property. I love being by the sea, with the ever-changing moods of the weather, sail boats on the water, sea birds wheeling about in the sky, etc.

About 20 years ago, a family bought a house a few doors down from me on the esplanade. Across the road from his house, there was a small area of native plant gardens and an area of lawn leading down to the stone sea wall and rocky foreshore. There are steps down to the water and a couple of permanently fixed tables and chairs for the enjoyment of the general public, for picnics and such. It's a very pleasant spot.

Before long the new owners of the house (well, at least the husband - the wife seemed OK) started complaining about the noise of kids running around on the reserve and making a lot of excited squealing noise like little kids do. Then he complained that people eating at the tables were feeding the seagulls, creating a gross over-population of the birds. I imagine he thought it was like the Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds". They were flying around, perching everywhere, making too much squawking noise and shitting all over his deck, driveway and cars. He wanted the council to cull the seagulls and remove the picnic tables from the reserve so people wouldn't feed the birds. To their credit, the council told him to get fucked (perhaps not in so many words). Although they did put up signs asking people not to feed the seagulls, but mainly because bread and potato chips aren't a healthy diet for them. The miserable git eventually split up with his wife and disappeared. She kept the house and harmony was restored to the neighbourhood. I pity the poor buggers who ended up getting that grumpy shit as a neighbour.
