Central Otago residents fighting to stop the planned Tarras Airport are doing all they can to make their voices heard.  

A new survey has slammed Christchurch Airport's plans with more than 80% of the region's surveyed residents and businesses in opposition.  

The study has found opposition has risen by nearly 10% compared to two years earlier.  

Wanaka Stakeholders Group Chair Meg Taylor told Kate Hawkesby that it will have a major impact on their region.  

She says almost 96% of respondents say Wanaka and the Upper Clutha should or must be involved in the decision-making process.
