Drone Operations

Safe and Responsible Drone Operations

Australia’s recreational drone rules, established by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), are designed to ensure the safety of everyone—both on the ground and in the air.

Rockhampton Airport is a controlled aerodrome, meaning it operates under the management of an air traffic control tower to ensure airspace safety. Many defence airfields also feature control towers. For more information visit the Airservices website.

Drone safety rules differ depending on whether you are flying commercially or recreationally. We're here to help you understand the key regulations and what you need to know to operate your drone safely and responsibly.
