The airport manager could withhold permission on the grounds of public safety, airport security, maintaining order and preventing insulting or offensive behaviour.
Airport manager Ray Dumble said it was not about being horrible. They already had the ability to trespass people under Civil Aviation laws but he had never needed to use it.
The only new rule was the ability to move a car without the owner's permission if it was in the way of works, he said.
Sly parking around the airport grounds to avoid paying fees was addressed in the bylaw. No one would be allowed to drive or park a vehicle on any part of the airport that was not marked as a road.
Mr Dumble said most people who parked away from car parks were waiting for a plane to arrive. "We get very little car parking avoidance."
The speed limit in the airport stayed at 30km/h and the free public loading and unloading carparks must be for "as long as is reasonably needed to do so".
Hollywood-style manoeuvres on runways were expressly forbidden. "A driver or person in charge of a vehicle must not obstruct or try to obstruct a moving aircraft," the bylaw said.
Trying to drive around barrier arms to avoid paying was forbidden.
Taxi drivers could only pick up passengers if they had a licence from the council, and anyone in charge of a vehicle must remove it from the airport if requested.
