Assessment comments The following comments were left by the assessors: (edit · history · watch · refresh) Stopthenoise 05:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)Parafield Airport is causing many problems for residents in surrounding suburbs. Foreign aviation students are being trained here and this is impacting on the daily lives of many trying to deal with the ever increasing noise from inexperienced pilots buzzing around day and night. The noise is driving many away from the area and short term renters are being housed here causing socio economic problems. Unlike the Noryhern Expressway or some homes near Adelaide Airport we are not eligible for sound proofing and generally reseidents cannot afford it. WE are being driven crazy with noise and bullying tactics from management at Parafield airport. Please give all the facts and present a balanced article.Stopthenoise 05:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

• I have heard that the trees spelling "PARAFIELD" have been removed a few months ago --59.167.21.107 02:41, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
• I have also heard rumours that Parafield is going to be closed and developed into northern Mawson Lakes, with the airport possibly shifting to Gawler. How likely is this? I find it a bit hard to believe. --59.167.21.107 02:41, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

The trees have certainly gone - it looks like the commercial precinct (Bunnings etc...) is going to expand to where they were. Havn't heard the moving rumour - seems unlikely as there is still a lot of undeveloped land on the sea side of Pt Wakefield rd that I'd think'd be developed first and nothings been announced about that yet _ Peripitus (Talk) 03:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

A newspaper article stated that the trees were diseased hoewver they were axed before any member of the public could object. There are plans to build a Harbour Town style development which will probably affect many nearby busineses. Bunnings killed off most of the local hardware stores. There was some mention of some aircraft moving to the Gawler area. I hope this does not occur as the noise will ruin another beautiful area just like many suburbs around Parafield Airport have been destroyed by ear shattering noise and pollution. These trainee pilots should be trained in an area where they are not affecting the health of thousands of people. It is disgraceful that this has occurred over many years and the Government does nothing to regulate this industry. We have planes droning overhead up till 11pm at night - A new intake of foreign pilots every six weeks ruining our lives. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.26.122.12 (talk • contribs) 14:36, 12 April 2007.

It's unfortunate that "disease" is an oft used excuse to cut down trees that are seen as inconvinient to some. Peripitus (Talk) 09:54, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photos of Parafield from 1928

Found some fantastic photos of Parafield from 1928, but don't know if they could be used under fair use claim, expiration of copyright maybe? Anyway, take a look [1] --Russavia 19:24, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Well it says for "For personal use only. To publish or display, contact the State Library of Western Australia." so I would suspect not but you might want to try and ask them. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 23:23, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
