Central Otago residents fighting to stop the planned Tarras Airport are doing all they can to make their voices heard. 

A new survey has slammed Christchurch Airport's plans with more than 80% of the region's surveyed residents and businesses in opposition. 

The study has found opposition has risen by nearly 10% compared to two years earlier. 

Wanaka Stakeholders Group Chair Meg Taylor told Kate Hawkesby that it will have a major impact on their region. 

She says almost 96% of respondents say Wanaka and the Upper Clutha should or must be involved in the decision-making process.
