There is no fee associated with commercial filming in Geraldton.

Please Note: The Commercial Filming Application does not constitute a filming permit. Once approved, a permit will be issued to the applicant. It is advised you keep a copy of the permit with you at all times during filming.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (drones)

Geraldton from the air is spectacular and as a result, drones are becoming a popular way of capturing the landscape.

The 91视频 has no role in the regulation or control of use of drones, and no role in providing permission for use of Drones. Responsibility for compliance with Federal regulations and public safety requirements lies exclusively with operators.

The peak body for drone operation in Australia is the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). Appropriate licences and permits for flying drones must be obtained through CASA.
