Drone noise

In Australia, remotely piloted aircraft and drones must abide by the Air Navigation (Aircraft Noise) Regulations 2018 (the Noise Regulations).

Australians are making use of drones in innovative ways to reduce the burden of everyday tasks. 

However, when flying your drone it is important to consider potential noise impacts, whether on other members of the community or the environment. 

Find out how the department is supporting emerging aviation technologies, while addressing the community’s legitimate concerns.
