Outback Wrangler Matt Wright and his wife Kaia ordered to stop using choppers ... trends now
Outback Wrangler star Matt Wright and his Instagram influencer wife Kaia have been brought back down to earth with a ban on using their helicopter like a family car.
Neighbours complained about the couple constantly flying in and out of their semi-rural Virginia property at all times, 30km south-east of Darwin, Northern Territory.
But the Wrights insisted they were entitled to do so because of his established 'existing use' and said he didn't use his home like a 'passenger terminal or heliport'.
'I have for many years utilised helicopters as a principal means of transport for myself, family and friends,' Wright, 44, added.
'Not dissimilar to how people use motor vehicles, I will fly in and out of our home in the morning and back in the evening.'
NT Civil and Administrative Tribunal has now grounded the Wrights two years after neighbours first protested about the noise, triggering a lengthy legal battle.
