How about you post the complete section.
101.070 Operation in controlled airspace
(1) A person may operate an unmanned aircraft above 400 feet AGL in controlled airspace only:
(a) in an area approved under regulation 101.030 as an area for the operation of unmanned aircraft of the same kind as the aircraft, and in accordance with any conditions of the approval; and
(b) in accordance with an air traffic control clearance.
So what is an Area approved under regulation 101.030?
101.030 Approval of areas for operation of unmanned aircraft or rockets
(1) A person may apply to CASA for the approval of an area as an area for the operation of:
(a) unmanned aircraft generally, or a particular class of unmanned aircraft; or
(b) rockets.
(2) For paragraph (1)(a), the classes of unmanned aircraft are the following:
(a) tethered balloons and kites;
(b) unmanned free balloons;
(c) UAVs;
(d) model aircraft.
(3) In considering whether to approve an area for any of those purposes, CASA must take into account the likely effect on the safety of air navigation of the operation of unmanned aircraft in, or the launching of rockets in or over, the area.
(4) An approval has effect from the time written notice of it is given to the applicant, or a later day or day and time stated in the approval.
(5) An approval may be expressed to have effect for a particular period (including a period of less than 1 day), or indefinitely.
(6) CASA may impose conditions on the approval in the interests of the safety of air navigation.
(7) If CASA approves an area under subregulation (1), it must publish details of the approval including any condition) in NOTAM or on an aeronautical chart.
(8) CASA may revoke the approval of an area, or change the conditions that apply to such an approval, in the interests of the safety of air navigation, but must publish details of any revocation or change in NOTAM or on an aeronautical chart.
(9) CASA must also give written notice of the revocation or change:
(a) to the person who applied for the approval of the area; or
(b) if that person applied for that approval as an officer of an organisation concerned with unmanned aircraft or rockets, and no longer holds that office—to the person who now holds the office.
Section 101.400 Operation of model aircraft outside approved areas isn't applicable to UAV. Section 101.250 is the applicable section.
101.250 Where small UAVs may be operated
(1) A person may operate a small UAV outside an approved area only if:
(a) where the UAV is operated above 400 feet AGL, the operator has CASA’s approval to do so; and
(b) the UAV stays clear of populous areas.
101.085 Maximum operating height
(1) A person may operate an unmanned aircraft at above 400 feet AGL only:
(a) in an area approved under regulation 101.030 as an area for the operation of unmanned aircraft of the same class as the aircraft concerned, and in accordance with any conditions of the approval; or
(b) as otherwise permitted by this Part.
101.245 Operation near people
(1) Subject to subregulations (2) and (3), a person must not operate a UAV within 30 metres of a person who is not directly associated with the operation of the UAV.
(2) Subregulation (1) does not apply in relation to a person who stands behind the UAV while it is taking off.
(3) Subregulation (1) also does not prevent the operation of a UAV airship within 30 metres of a person if the airship approaches no closer to the person than 10 metres horizontally and 30 feet vertically.
You have confused as has Fliegenmong the section regarding "Model Aircraft" with UAV's. As can be seen different rules apply. Fliegenmong has also quoted an "Advisory Circular" rather than using the CASR Part 101.
