// The NSW Government's Shark Management Program is expanding, with extended hours for drone shark surveillance beginning tomorrow, 1 September 2026.

As daylight hours increase, drones will now operate from 6:15am to 5:00pm, ensuring full daylight coverage.

Drone flying hours change throughout the year in line with seasonal daylight. We encourage beachgoers, clubs and local communities to familiarise themselves with the 2026/27 drone flying schedule.

It's all part of the NSW Government's $120 million investment into shark management, which saw a major scale up of drone coverage in July this year, across beaches in Sydney and along the NSW coastline.
