What makes Mackay different.
Mackay works two economies at once: cane on the coastal flats and coal in the Bowen Basin inland. The mining side pushes demand toward volumetric survey and asset inspection rather than property work.
Cadastral lot lookup is live in QLD, so tapping a property in Mackay returns its registered parcel straight from the state cadastre. You do not have to trace the boundary by hand.
Areas covered: Mackay, Sarina, Proserpine, Cannonvale, Airlie Beach and Moranbah, and the surrounding region.

Tunnel smoke duct inspection, flown GPS denied

Drone hire in Mackay, answered.
How fast can you get a drone pilot to a site in Mackay?
We will not promise a number we cannot hold, because it depends on the product and the day. What happens mechanically is that your order goes out through the app and the pilots nearest the site are notified first. Proximity is the whole point of running a network rather than a fleet.
Do I need approval to fly a drone in Mackay?
That depends on the exact site. Mackay sits near Mackay Airport and Whitsunday Coast Airport at Proserpine, both regional fields with scheduled services. Standard CASA rules apply nationally: daylight visual flight, below 120 metres above ground level, clear of people, and away from controlled aerodromes without approval. Your pilot confirms live airspace for your specific address before flying.
Can I just tap my property in Mackay to get a price?
Cadastral lot lookup is live in QLD, so tapping a property in Mackay returns its registered parcel straight from the state cadastre. You do not have to trace the boundary by hand.
What does a drone job in Mackay cost?
The same as anywhere else in Australia. Every price is published on the product page and the Order Studio prices your actual site live as you draw it. Pilot travel is a separate line and you see it before you order, not after.
Who owns the footage and the data?
You do. Raw and processed files are yours to use, share and archive, with no ongoing platform licence.
