Airspace vs NPWS vs Airservices vs regulations

QNPWS is proposing a Fly Neighbourly "Agreement" for Carnarvon Gorge, which will restrict the height and distance you can be away from it.

They maintain that they have had legal advice that "They own from the core of the earth to the ozone layer" and can restrict airspace as they see fit. (very arrogant attitude)

I think I am right in stating that we are legally allowed down to 500' AGL, and below that with permission or due stress of weather.

Q1. Does State legislation overide CAO's and CAR's in this case??

Q2. Surely the Crown(all of us) owns any land including NP's, not QNPWS?

Is there any one here who can offer a semi legal opinion??
