Air New Zealand will begin scheduled passenger flights direct to and from Sunshine Coast Airport this winter, marking the first-ever international scheduled passenger flights in and out of the airport.
Two flights a week to and from Auckland will commence on a seasonal trial, connecting with scheduled flights to Los Angeles, San Francisco and other northern US cities.
To celebrate the new service, Air New Zealand is offering a special introductory fare from Sunshine Coast to Auckland from AUD$149 per person one-way. The sale ends Friday 2 March and a code share alliance with Virgin Australia means passengers can book through either airline’s website.
The initial seasonal service will run from 1 July to 18 September 2012. Air New Zealand’s new direct service between the Sunshine Coast and Auckland will operate twice a week on Tuesdays and Sundays utilising an A320 aircraft offering Air New Zealand’s popular ‘Seats to Suit’ fare structure.

Fly-in fly-out services to escalate on the Sunshine Coast in 2012
Sunshine Coast Council are in discussions with several unnamed mining companies and airlines to increase services and offer more employment to residents.
The news follows mining giant Rio Tinto's move to increase its fly-in, fly-out services to four times a week through locally based aviation company Skytrans.
Council is talking to several mining companies and other airlines at the moment, but are not in a position to say who or when it will happen.
The additional services go with council's development of the Resource Sector Action Plan, which aims to support growth and economic development in the mining sector and the local community.
This growth will depend on partnerships across the public and private sector to deliver quality accommodation options, transport connectivity, a skilled and ready workforce, and business location that attract resource industry-related organisations.
It's an overarching perspective of how to engage the Sunshine Coast with the resource industry and to take advantage of the mining boom despite no mines being situated here.

Who pays for the water?
With increasing water bills, many managers now write “excess water” to be charged on tenancy agreements but when does that actually grip? The RTA’s Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation 2008 Act has a set of requirements that need to be met in order to be able to charge for water.
Lessors are only allowed to pass on the full water consumption costs to tenants if:
• the rental premises are individually metered (or water is delivered by vehicle); and
• the rental premises are water efficient; and
• the tenancy agreement states the tenant must pay for water consumption.
If the premises are individually metered but not water efficient, and the agreement states the tenant must pay for water, the lessor must pay for a reasonable amount of water. That is based on the amount of people on the premises.
It is best practice that the lessor and the tenant should agree upon what is a reasonable amount at the start of the tenancy, include the frequency of the charges and insert it as a special term in the tenancy agreement to avoid disputes later. The tenant is liable for any consumption above the agreed amount.
