No drone zone in the Southern Mountains until 15 December

As a safety measure for ongoing helicopter winch operations, all areas south of the airport will be a ‘no drone zone’ at all times until Friday, 15 December 2023.

Drones present a hazard to aircraft and penalties apply to the use of drones in the Southern Mountains during this time.

We thank you for your cooperation while important weeding and maintenance work is undertaken.
