Rozelle

"neighbours constantly renovating and underneath the flight path."

Been here for 5 years now. Trying to get out but its difficult to find anything to buy that we can afford in other areas. Neighbours have no respect for each others peace and quiet. means nothing to them to have music blasting at 3 am. Corner shop keeps getting robbed so that's nice. Cook St residents constantly fight and drive like maniacs. Council has allowed continuous renovations around us. One lot of finishes and just when you get a big of piece from the cut off wheels/drilling/hammering/jack hammering/angle grinders another lot starts!!! neighbour down the road has been doing his for an eternity and looks like never finishing. Flight path is awful and at 5pm you may as well be living in Tempe. There's that nice smell of kerosene in the air. yeah the bay run is nice if you avoid the iron cove bridge bit/city west link.... who wants to exercise in all that pollution??? Council never sweep the roads and they are full of pot holes. The same bunch of plastic bottles has been by Lilyfield tram stop since last years marathon... the park is full of dog shit and fag butts so that is really lovely too.... Balmain is just as bad but at least the flight path isn't an issue there.

To truely understand the noise issue in Sydney it is important to look at the following document, http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/aviation/environmental/transparent_noise/expanding/2.aspx#5. If, like me you live in the UK you can sompare it to Heathrow at http://webtrak.bksv.com/lhr in combination with the BAA web site
http://www.heathrowairport.com/portal/page/Heathrow+noise%5EGeneral%5ENoise+in+your+area%5ETrack+flights+near+you/ff28255eefa53210VgnVCM10000036821c0a____/448c6a4c7f1b0010VgnVCM200000357e120a____/

If you know the UK you will see that Windsor (where the Queen has a residence) and Richmond (where Mick Jagger amoung others has a house) are affected by noise in takeoffs and landings. There appears to be 3 times more flyovers in the UK than Australia so I am guessing the problem is only that the noise doesnt affect other areas as much and not the number of flyovers.

Wow--you sound bitter! If you can afford Rozelle you can afford plenty of other suburbs--whereas how could students afford it? The Bay Run starts and finishes at bridge in Rozelle--the other 10.9 ks are not near bridge...Cook St mostly houso--shouldnt be to much reno going on. My street is so quiet--near bridge--can't smell any kero...
