This area is a huge No Fly Zone. Due to the proximity of Sydney airport and two nearby helipads you will most definitely get a very large fine if you're found to be flying there.
You can see what airspace you're allowed to fly in by using CASA's "Can I Fly There?" app/website.
Can I Fly There?
Oh, thanks for that. I had been using another app (UAV forecast) with 5.5km exclusion zones around airports and 1.6km around heliports. While the app may have calculated this accurately, I think it failed to take into account the extended no fly zones for approach and departure paths!
From the CASA app it looks like there are small slivers of land where flight is permitted (45m max) at La Perouse (one is near Cruwee cove, one of my favourite locations!), and in Malabar, but these are very small and wouldn't really satisfy my urge to drone.
What are your favourite places to fly, BlakPhoenix, and others?
i am from melbourne. north east. intending getting mavic pro in a couple of months. have phantom 3 standard, which is currently out of action; hoping i can get it repaired.

There are also restricted fly zones for all of Sydney Harbour. See CASA app.Oh, thanks for that.

Gents, I am new to the forum. I am in Perth and looking to get the Mavic Pro. Any good deals locally?
I dont need flymore package - have purchased everything already...
There is some good deals as grey imports but I dont want the hassle of warranty returns.
Also, for the Perth guys, I see two Mavic's most weekends between Trigg and Hillarys. I guess as long as your 30m away from people, your okay to fly?
Hiya Bigozpete,Thanks. Sounds like it may be a city location along the Yarra. Nice scenery, watch out for flight regulations bylaws etc.
I was down at Phillip Island this weekend, impressed with how the Mavic handled some pretty heavy wind conditions.
