Noise

A simple self-assessment tool makes it easy for drone operators to apply for an approval. The form only takes around 5 minutes to complete.

Most drone operators will likely be exempt or be granted an automated approval upon completing the self-assessment form. Drone operators undertaking complex or large operations may need to undergo a more detailed assessment before obtaining an approval from the department.

The Australian Government is continuing to adapt our approach to manage drone noise as the sector evolves. More information on noise policy is available at the link below.
