Dear Visitor, The Whenuapai Airbase Action Group Inc was established in 2003 to provide local communities and interested parties with a platform to express their concern about a proposed commercial airport on the land currently used by the New Zealand Defence Force at Whenuapai, Auckland, New Zealand. This proposal would have resulted in a major disruption to their lives for many thousands of residents who would have now been living under the flight path to an airport. Largely as a result of WAAG's actions and some supportive Waitakere City Councillors, a zone change proposed by the Waitakere City Council, which would have enabled the establishment of a commercial airport at Whenuapai, was withdrawn by that Council in September 2009. Additionally, a change of Government in New Zealand has meant that a decision to shift the Royal New Zealand Air Force from Whenuapai will now not take place. The battle has therefore now been won, and WAAG has been wound up. We have retained the 'Research' section of our web site so that it may help others with similar problems in the future. Yours sincerely, Russell Stewart President
