Thanks Leigh
Yes I was very aware and concerned that the flag may have been noisy in windy conditions, I made sure all fittings were wrapped in plastic and the ropes are set up so as not to generate noise.
I agree with the idea of protocols, particularly on Government buildings, but this is just a little bit of fun, people comment on it all the time, yes we know where you live, under the flag, good on you.
I am not going to take it down at night nor illuminate it. Too much time in industry solving real problems.
There are other issues of structure, wind loading etc. which I believe I have considered and found solutions for.
The one of noise probably the most relevant.
The one complaint received revolved mainly around appearance and the same sort of issue of racism etc. In my experience so far, and there have been some very windy days, the noise is almost non existent and we are some distance from other lots. The noise from the flag is probably similar to that generated by the leaves on the bushes on the pot plants, or from the washing left out on the balcony by the complainent.
The matter is in the hands of the EC to deal with, it may or may not go to be voted on. All we can do is follow the process and treat everyone equally.
Urban, in relation to “what the sums are actually for” look up sarcasm and levity, I hope everyone else got it.
