New drone website has lifted off

The Australian Government has launched a new website, drones.gov.au, to provide clear, accessible information on drone rules and regulations in one location.

Drone technology has skyrocketed over the last decade and is now used beyond recreation for a wide range of commercial purposes, including in disaster relief, environmental management and agriculture.

As Australia’s official source on drones and emerging aviation technologies, drones.gov.au provides a central location for visitors seeking information about drone use, related policy, rules and regulations, or specific resources on various linked websites, including the CASA website.

This initial release aims to provide industry, recreational users and interested members of the public with information on drone policies and regulation, including complaints processes.

It also provides the opportunity to submit feedback or concerns about drone use in your community.
