$2.9M to CASA for drone safety

bunch of interesting new taxes got snuck in late.....

Mr Morrison’s third Budget also pledged $2.9 million to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority for this year to increase the safety supervision of the use of drones in Australia.
The cash splash will be used to increase safety standards and compliance measures for people looking to use drone technologies, whether it be for recreation or for a commercial use.
$2.9 million for the Civil Aviation Safety Authority could see Australian drone users face the possibility of higher licence costs and restricted flight zones. Picture: Getty. In short, that means that Australians who look to abide by the rules set by the safety body could soon face stricter regulations in order to fly drones.
That could come in the form of appropriate licences becoming more expensive, or through the tightening of areas in which drones can actually be flown.
