Drones

You need a permit to operate a radio controlled flying machine ("drone") over Council land.

We have a few conditions you need to comply with:

• keep away from flying overhead large crowds;
  
• don't cause a nuisance to other park and reserve users;
  
• don't photograph children in children’s playgrounds or playing sport;
  
• comply with CAA rules, our city bylaws and our Reserve Management Plan rules;
  
• report any damage you cause to us on phone (04) 237 5089. 
  

When approved and authorised, we will issue a permit which must be available for inspection when requested by a Council Officer or a member of public.
