Thread: Drones on DOC land

woop woop, it's the sound of the [fun] police....

The NZ Hunter crew apparently have a concession for their drones for use on public land according to Willy when we spoke a couple of years ago. They had to keep renewing it. Just keeping to the rules of engagement.

Did some research. There's a lot to do if you follow the rules. $74.75 for each area applied for as well.
