Sustainable Tarras released results of its community survey yesterday which showed only about 13% supported an international airport. Chairman Chris Goddard wants an immediate conversation with Christchurch International Airport to clarify the potential for horticulture, residential and commercial land use restrictions. The group surveyed 180 households within a 10km radius of the Tarras Airport site. Mr Goddard said the 41% response rate was "a great response rate for any survey, especially one done by a small rural community. Mr Goddard said "you could never get a survey where everyone responds, especially in Covid".
