Note those that want all helicopter flights banned from Conservation land in the CAA submissions at the present. It will be a multi-faceted assault, Hunters pay attention, especially with this Govt.

It would be interested to see the actual wording on banning helicopters from conservation land, my reason being that the land I occupy/own is classed as conservation land but is not administered by DoC, but by local council, at present one could land a helicopter on my land and walk a very short distance and be in DoC land.
