Approvals are part of the job, not your problem

Airspace, council land, DBCA parks and the Swan and Canning Riverpark are four separate layers of permission, and a WA shoot often needs more than one. Flight planning, airspace checks and land-manager approvals are arranged as part of the booking.

Lead times vary more than people expect. Share the location early and you'll get an honest answer on what it needs.

City of Joondalup No permit no permit (CASA only) · checked Aug 2026
City of Perth 5 business days permit required · checked Aug 2026
Rottnest Island (RIA) 30 days permit required · checked Oct 2026

Perth-area councils and land managers, with contacts and the date last checked, are in the Perth drone directory.
