Public Input Sought: Drone Operations Policy Proposal

Drone operations vary in risk. The proposed policy aims to:

  • reduce burden for lower risk operations
  • focus effort on higher risk operations
  • maintain strong safety outcomes for people on the ground
  • better match rules to risk
  • give clear guidance on when approvals are needed
  • improve clarity and consistency.

Have your say

We're seeking feedback from industry, drone users, and the community on:

  • when drones 250 grams or less can operate over or near people without approval
  • operations with barriers where separation reduces risk
  • the updated approval framework for approvals over or near people.
