Its mainly bored old bastards with too much time on their hands, they complain and to make them stop the council does what they want. If people kick up a fuss, then more will, people are like sheep.
Take my grandma, she moved in next to Pines Kart Club in the adelaide hills and what did she complain about, the noise!
She's was on a committee to shut down the track, and it happened, it pissed a lot of people, but we were a minority.
