No — Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) regulations require specific approvals and operational risk mitigations for flights over people, beyond visual line of sight operations or over assemblies such as music festivals. Commercial operators must hold remote pilot licences, submit risk assessments, use certified equipment and obtain site‑specific approvals; organisers must coordinate with CASA and local authorities. Unauthorized drone flights over crowds are actively policed, with powers to fine operators and confiscate equipment to protect public safety.
