DRONE USAGE IN CME
An overview of the issues
The use of drone technology is an emerging area of the law of potentially great utility to regional and territorial authorities in carrying out compliance, monitoring and enforcement responsibilities. However, key legal and practical issues arise as to the lawful bounds and manner in which the technology is used. The correct interpretation of key statutes, and the considered and careful use of the technology, will inevitably dictate its lawfulness. This session will provide a high-level overview of the issues at play, and sketch how regional and territorial councils can maximise the benefits of drones in their day-to-day activities.
