Before you fly a drone or UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle), it’s important you know the regulations that apply. You must include proof of the correct licences in your application.

Visit the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) website to see all the rules that apply.

If you are proposing to launch, land or operate a drone on Council land for commercial purposes, you will need to apply to Wollongong City Council for permission.

If you are proposing to launch, land or operate a drone for commercial purposes on land that is not owned or managed by Council, you don't need to apply for permission, but you must notify Wollongong City Council by email. See the Filming on private property section above for details of the information you should include in your notification.
