ORGANISERS are calling for bums on seats at the second meeting of Raymond Terrace residents group Safe Ears, to be held on July 14 at the Raymond Terrace Bowling Club.
The group is lobbying the Department of Defence to extend the runway at RAAF Base Williamtown by 2.5 kilometres towards the sea.
This is expected to minimise the predicted noise impact of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) aircraft on Port residents and alleviate development restrictions on land owners. Around 500 people turned out to the first Safe Ears meeting last month and chairman Paul Le Mottee told residents to again show their dissatisfaction by attending.
"Nothing sends a louder message than the sheer number of bums on seats," Mr Le Mottee said. Member for Paterson Bob Baldwin and Labor's Paterson candidate Jim Arneman will be given a chance to speak at the meeting and the use of a new landing system at the base will be discussed.
The meeting will begin at 7pm.
