Amazing. He knew that the range was there when he brought the place. I'm so sick of this shit. Next thing the range will be closed down due to one whinger!!

Karen is gender indecisive.
As a local, non club member and shooter. I see both arguments.
The property is reasonably close. Only about 200 250m.
The key being he had lived there for 2 years with no complaints. He was obviously happy with the noise levels when he brought the property. It was once a neighbouring property removed their trees that acted as a sound barrier. So it's not the clubs doing nor is it him “being a karen"
The club is acting within its resource consent as far as I'm wear with noise levels. So it's not their fault. It will be frustrating for both parties.
Nothing stopping him from planting trees / creating some form of noise barrier. But that will take time obviously.
Problem being is if the council do something about it it sets a precedent for other clubs, businesses etc.
Much more acceptable than the firearms business owner who moved next to a gun club then organised the neighbours to complain.
Update. I missed the sound engineer said the pines wouldn't of done much for noise suppression when i have heard of them being used as sound barriers in the past. But there would be much better alternatives.
I wonder if over time he has become sensitive to the noise. And using the trees as an excuse to complain.
I have shot there a couple of times and they are very strict about no shooting until 9am.
That muppet is following the lead of a lawyer that bought a house just over the hill from Trentham, the national range in Upper Hutt that's been there since Adam was a cowboy. Rightly, his noise complaints got nowhere.
Is he a school teacher or a polytechnic tutor? I can’t work out which.
Trees offer very little if any in the way of noise mitigation
It’s all in the head that if you can’t see it you can’t hear it….
Happened up in Nelson too I think
Indeed it did.Quote:

I thort as you got older you got deafer,ah,what i cant hear you,you said something,bugger i missed that.:thumbsup:
Is it a case of buy cheap because of the shooting club/speedway next door and then whine so your property value skyrockets when the club gets shut down?
What was the precedent set in Palmy?
They miss all their close neighbors and go back.
I wish I lived 250 m from the range.
I live not far in a straight line from that range and i have been a member as well and i have never heard shots fired that early.
As the rules state no shooting before 9am, there is a very good duck shooting river that runs about 200m from his house and that myself and others hunt and I've been woken up myself by shot guns going off.
I can't see how the trees ever blocked any noise as most were on the south boundary and his house is on the east boundary.
Just another winger.

Was just there over the weekend with another 120 shooters for a comp. Bet that twisted his undies. Apparently we started at 8:59am on Saturday and he laid an official complaint with the council. So at 9:02am Sunday we all kicked off in unison :)
There was also a couple of years ago a similar challenge for the club at Ardmore in Auckland where a similar complaint was successfully defended but a lot of effort and cost consumed defending it.Quote:

Never have been called clever and it's proof of nothing other than following the 9am rule.Quote:

The saga continues. An abatement notice has now been served.

You would have to wonder why they brought the place knowing that the range was next door.
The funny thing is they held open homes when that house was for sale on the Sunday when a club shoot was on.
And looking at his garden hes never out in it.

Amazing that the council has a 50 decibel noise limit set in the district plan. They would have exceeded that by driving up his driveway, and talking to him. Every aircraft would exceed that, as would mowing the lawn.
I wonder if someone at the council thinks that 50 decibel is 1/2 of 100 decibel :ORLY:

Do we this arched structure supply? This has no beams , and filled with insulation against noise, heat and water. Would `t need to cover entire range but where people standing at.Attachment 204566
I don't know the details in the District plan but I would expect that the 50dB limit at the boundary is the threshold for requiring a consent. You can produce more noise than that if you get a Consent under the District Plan - like a road does, or an airport does, etc.Quote:

There may be an argument (a fairly weak one in my opinion) that the noise made by the club has increased with the removal of the trees or just in general?
The term is 'reverse sensitivity'. I've heard of complaints about mating cattle in view of a lifestyle block, because it was traumatic for the complainant's children to witness. It can create a real compliance burden on the landowner because of complaints about anything and everything, with the intention of closing down the activity or land use that was there when the whingers move in.
The article states "His cordial message ended with the phrase: “I hope we can come to a mutual understanding and conclusion with this matter?” "
I would suggest this is anything but a thinly veiled demand to stop all shooting.
