You are blessed indeed to have a guy who is totally on your side & wants you to continue on there.
I'm curious though. From the pics the lake seems to be in some sort of industrial park. Who would bother complaining about noise there?
Or are there some private residences on the other side of the lake?
Yes the pond is part of an industrial subdivision, there is a highway about 200M away then houses. The noise moaner apparently lives 750M away. The noise level at their boundary was 44db, the council limit is 55db. Our self imposed limit for boats is 85db at 20M, which was established 4 years back after previous complaints. We now have a compliance letter from the council.
We are fortunate to have such a great venue. There is further work being done hopefully the summer with a new outlet going in and the bund at the top end being taken out as well as retaining and backfill on the right hand side of the stand for a new hotpit area and carpark. Truely it is possible that this could be one of the best venues in the world for model boat racing. Big thoughts I know but our venue continues to get better and better. There is more roof yet to go over the drivers stand and if possible covered hotpits. We have a surveyed oval and electronic timing gear for two laps and 100M speed runs. A second container is in the plan to go in the existing hotpit area for dingy etc storage also.
BTW Tauranga, New Zealand is a great place to live as well!
