Share the Skies, Fly Safe Campaign -

Share the Skies. Fly Safe, a sub-campaign of the Know Your Drone campaign, first phase focused on shared airspace risks in Sydney's east using out of home advertising. The second phase now aims to engage with local governments to install permanent drone safety signage at 33 sites across 6 council areas in Eastern Sydney. Data shows frequent unauthorised drone use in these locations. Many sites include parks, beaches and sports fields. The signs will give clear advice at common launch points. They prompt safer choices before take-off and reduce risk near crewed aircraft and restricted airspace.

Sydney safety campaign -

In June 2025, a geotargeted drone safety campaign was implemented in the Sydney basin and victor one corridor in response to unsafe drone activity.

As a result of the campaign, the number of drone flights fell by 45% compared with the prior period and 27% compared with the same time last year.

During the campaign period, 531 flights were recorded, down from 969 previously and 725 last year.

Know your drone -

On 17 December 2024, we launched Phase 6 of our Know Your Drone campaign. It builds on the successes of earlier phases with practical tools and clear safety messages to help recreational drone operators fly safely and responsibly.

On 20 December 2024, we updated the Part 101 Plain English guide for Micro and Excluded RPA operations. This guide helps accredited drone operators flying micro and excluded category drones understand and follow the rules.

Find out more about SSRPs.

We published the RPAS SSRP on 12 December 2024. It focuses on:
