Interesting. Flying near prisons in Western Australia

[Arne H.]

I live near a large prison. Got warnings all the time, even if i am far away from the heavy prison.

Interesting - from DJI?

DJI gets their mapping of restricted areas from a variety of sources.
Prisons are included for some parts of the world, like this well known example.

But many others like yours aren't marked on DJI's mapping.

DJI's mapping for Australia is a bit patchy and only shows prisons in NSW.
Here are 6 around Sydney.
I can't find any in the other states.

Interesting - I wonder how DJI get their information? Just online? Obviously not just CASA, as CASA don’t care about prisons, from what they sent me.

Instead of wondering out loud about doing something very stupid, contact the relevant department and ask them directly.
You'll find they don't have any sense of humour on the topic that interests you and can explain quite clearly what rules apply.

I know the USA FAA rules about NFZs regarding prisons and government buildings, but they don't give a specific distance to where the NFZ begins and or ends. I simply just don't fly near them, whatsoever. BUT, do you or anyone on this thread know of a minimum or maximum proximity distance to these structures?
