Police have said that they've received a number of recent reports from right across the state
00:07
of people flying drones too close to aircraft.
00:10
Thankfully any accidents have been avoided but they do pose a significant threat.
00:16
Police have also received reports of people flying drones too close to people at crowded
00:21
events.
00:22
Drones have become increasingly accessible over the recent years.
00:27
They're cheap, they're easy to use and quite small and the cameras on them do have good
00:35
quality content.
00:36
So many people are using them and are becoming increasingly popular.
00:42
But police are reminding people who use drones recreationally to familiarise themselves with
00:49
the laws that are involved with drones.
00:52
You can't fly a drone within 5.5 kilometres of a controlled airport.
00:58
You can't fly them over people, particularly at events like festivals or at beaches, sporting
01:06
events, or even over busy roads or pedestrians.
01:09
If you are near people you do have to fly more than 30 metres away from them.
01:15
You can only fly during the day and in visual line of sight.
01:18
Drones are also banned in places like the Kakadu National Park and around a lot of marine
01:28
parks and they're also banned at declared major events in New South Wales, Queensland
01:35
and South Australia.
01:36
If you are caught using a drone illegally you can expect a fine from the Civil Aviation
01:41
Safety Authority.
