DRONES will effectively be banned in Perth city council airspace under broad new rules to outlaw anything bigger than a paper plane.

Old rules banned model aeroplanes, gliders and rockets.

With drones becoming more popular here—particularly as camera-carrying devices—the PCC will also blanket-ban ‘copters and any “other device capable of flight propelled by mechanical, hydraulic, combustion or pyrotechnic means”.
