From November 2020 you may need to register your drone with CASA, and obtain accreditation from CASA to fly your drone. Attaining accreditation consists of a short safety video and online quiz, and you’ll receive a certificate once you pass that you can download and print. Council is not responsible for handling drone complaints and all complaints should be directed to CASA. If you are aware of recreational drones flying unsafely and/or causing nuisance, this can be reported to CASA via their webpage: Report Unsafe Drone Operations
If your drone is being flown for commercial purposes, the Chief Executive Officer needs to approve your request, please contact us on 131 872.
