Helicopters vs Wilderness
Description
Emirates wants to blast Wolgan Valley with helicopters—up from 28 to 210 flights weekly, roughly one every 22 minutes—to reopen its resort, despite locals and environmentalists screaming “NO!” Critics say it’ll wreck the peace, scare wildlife like wallabies and eagles, and turn a serene wilderness into a noisy nightmare. Only one Sydneysider supports it. The resort’s own association admits reopening is desirable, but fears the chaos will ruin its quiet appeal. Emirates says they’re listening—and adjusting plans—but the noise could already be louder than a leaf blower near climbing spots.
