Sydney

Drones in Sydney are regulated primarily by CASA nationwide under Part 101, with NSW state laws and local council bylaws adding extra restrictions. For recreational use, you don’t need a license or registration, but you must follow CASA safety rules including a maximum altitude of 120 meters, staying at least 30 meters from people, never flying over crowds, flying only in daylight with visual line of sight, and operating one drone at a time. Drones heavier than 250 grams must remain at least 5.5 kilometers from a controlled airport, while drones under 250 grams may operate within 5.5 kilometers up
