Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2020-08-27.
This bill is part of a package that would create a levy on commercial and professional users of remotely piloted aircraft to recover the costs of regulation and registration.
It would amend the Civil Aviation Act 1998 to allow the Civil Aviation Safety Authority to collect the levy and require the Commonwealth to pay those amounts to CASA.
The levy amount would be set by regulations and cannot exceed $300, and the scheme would start on 30 September 2020.
