Before
After
Rainmore Reserve is managed by Parks Queensland (PQ) and wildlife services, meaning drone operations may require permission from both PQ and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). Following CASA drone rules alone does not automatically mean you can legally fly on PQ-managed land. In many Queensland parks and reserves, recreational drone flying is restricted or prohibited without prior approval. Permission may be granted for scientific research, commercial filming, conservation work, or other authorised purposes. Even with approval, operators must still follow CASA drone rules, including: Flying only within visual line of sight Staying below 120 m (400 ft) above ground level Keeping a safe distance from people and avoiding crowds Not flying near emergency operations, aircraft, or restricted airspace Avoiding disturbance to wildlife, nesting areas, and protected habitats Flying only in approved areas and following any conditions set by PQ Breaking drone rules may result in fines, penalties, or enforcement action.
