The Airport Protection Overlay Area (APOA) is an overlay illustrated on the urban and rural planning maps that effects the identified land in close proximity to Gisborne Airport and its flight corridors. Rules to protect both Gisborne Airport and land users shall apply to this area. Air Noise Boundary and Outer Control Boundaries identify, in accordance with NZS 6805:1992 “Airport Noise Management and Land Use Planning”, the 55dBA and 65dBA noise limit boundaries, respectively) These noise controls apply for activities associated with the operation of the Airport. This method enables identification of areas in which noise sensitive activities would not be appropriate and recognizes the essential nature of the airport operation to the Gisborne district. Airport Height Control Surfaces: These are air corridors to and from each runway, together with transition side slopes, a horizontal surface and a conical surface laying over and radiating out from the runways. Vegetation and structures are restricted from encroaching into these surfaces.
