That is incorrect. 400ft is applicable "OCTA". Drones are forbidden in "CTA" period without CASA approval.

There are a lot of aircraft flying around the place without knowing where all the other manned aircraft are. Why should a pilot expect to "know" that the airspace is "free of drones"? Legally, such an expectation is without basis.
Of course, that is why the operator of an unmanned aircraft has a duty to remain in sight of the aircraft they are controlling, since the see-and-avoid responsibility rests on their shoulders as much as for the pilot of any passing manned aircraft.
