Flour bombing and streamer cutting are both considered "air displays" (which also covers competitions) see 91.180. Approval required from CASA, there is even a box on the form for both these activities.
Dropping of ashes would probably need to be done by an Aerial work operator. The same for dropping relief supplies.
