Comgames No Drone Zone

One of my neighbours called me in all in a flap. Over the weekend her brother, who lives within one of the Commonwealth Games no drone zone restricted areas was flying a RC helicopter in his back yard. Now, this yard is surrounded by 60 foot+ gum trees and the RCA was below fence height, in his back yard. His neighbor who there has been an ongoing feud said he would report him to CASA.

I tried calling CASA and they said..."Dunno", I dug out all the literature and searched the net and I still have no clue either.

So where does a residence property end vertically and CASA's airspace start. I always thought 360 feet if you are outside a protected area for a runway.

If it is much lower, wouldn't a skied cricket shot technically impinge the restricted area.

yes I am aware of the English law regarding your property from the heaavens to the earth. Seeking a more practical definition.
