Report Aircraft Noise

For any noise complaints that you may have in relation to the Bell Vista area you are encouraged to contact the airport, the direct line is 5453 1501. From here a noise complaint form is completed by staff and forwarded to the Operations Manager to investigate and discuss with the relevant business the issues raised in the complaint, once this process is done, a detailed outcome is recorded which you will be informed of.

Bike Week

Calling all cyclists. Council’s TravelSmart team is hosting a range of great events and workshops to celebrate Bike Week from March 13 to 21.

There is something for all ages, from bike maintenance workshops and pathway awareness rides, to sessions helping children progress from training wheels to two wheels as well as how to correctly fit your bike helmet.

Local schools are also encouraged to get involved in a Ride to School Day on March 17.

Bike Week aims to:

• encourage and facilitate active participation in cycling
• raise awareness in the broader community of the benefits of cycling
• position cycling as a legitimate, active and healthy transport mode

The events are part of Queensland's Bike Week activities with funding from the Queensland Government and Bicycle Queensland. Several local bike shops have generously donated their time to conduct the bike maintenance workshops.
