Airport Noise

BeCA received this email from a resident this morning:

Monday 26th April 2010 has been an absolute nightmare for us residents in Bellvista. Those helicopters have been flying constantly, low altitude and extremely noisy. I hope Council and CASA make a good decision of closing the aerodrome down, with the exception of the Museum which should stay in Caloundra. Fed up!

Yesterday did seem like we had a fair share of noisy helicopter activity over the estate. They did seem to be quite low and they appeared to outside what would have been expected to be "flight path" areas. A copy of the email has been forwarded on to our local Councillor.

Remember to call 5453 1501 to lodge 'official' complaints.

Lots Happening Around The Estate

Visit the BeCA website and catch up on all the news with the Caloundra Airport. It seems there is something new happening with this every other day. You can catch up on the latest here.

If you go to this page there is a piece on the brown ugly looking stuff in Lake Bellvista right now. It is a natural phenomenon and will disappear as quickly as it came.

It is good to know that Council expects to clean Lake Bellvista sometime during the next seven days or so!

Public Meeting Monday April 19th

Over 40 residents attended the recent Public Meeting held in the Lake Bellvista Land Sales Office on Monday Night. It was an informative night with speakers from Caloundra Police as well as the Sunshine Coast Crime Prevention Unit.

The following is the text of a messagge received from Unity College...... You may be able to assist:

Good Afternoon, I am hoping to engage the support of the Bell Vista Community for Unity College in the Learning Tools for Schools competition currently being run at Stockland Caloundra. We are hoping to win one of the major prizes which would be put towards IT equipment for our Early Years students. Currently we are coming second. Any support residents can offer us would be greatly appreciated. Quite simply all that we do is present any receipts from purchases to the customer care desk and request that the points be allocated to Unity. The receipt is then stamped and returned to the customer. Thank you for your time and anticipated support. Mrs Gina Sanders (Parent and Teacher)

Caloundra Airport Article - Sunshine Coast Daily

This is a link to an article in "The Sunshine Coast Daily" to do with the possible closure of the Caloundra Airport. You can find it HERE. In the article Councillor Grosskreutz refers to council's power to close the airport. "She also warned the businesses that a new anti-aerodrome residents’ group “was about to raise its profile” due to continued “helicopters behaving badly”." is a quote lifted directly from the article.

Don't forget the next BeCA Meeting is a public meeting open to all Bellvista Residents. It will be conducted on Monday April 19th at 6:45 pm at the Land Sales Office at Lake Bellvista.

We look forward to as many residents as possible attending.

The BeCA Newsletter "Bellvista Connector" should be delivered to all homes by the end of this weekend.
