Local Authority and Property Owner Consent

In plain language

Before flying over parks, beaches, or lakes, you must get permission from the owner or local council. Some councils grant blanket permission for certain parks on their websites.

Requirement as structured

CAA NZ states that beaches and lakes can be privately owned while parks are generally owned or administered by a local authority, that it is vital to gain consent from the property owner or administering authority before flight, and that some local authorities may give blanket permission in some parks.
