Found at The Leader (Vic) website this month:
"CASEY Council will rethink its ban on flying kites and model aircraft in public parks, reserves and sportsgrounds after public outcry.
Council officers have been asked to prepare a report on amending the local law to lift the ban in a sufficient number of open space parks around the city.
As revealed by Leader today, under the new local law it is an offence to “fly, or permit to be flown, any aircraft, without a permit”.
Those caught flying without a permit face a $234 fine.
Casey community safety manager Caroline Bell said the local law defined “aircraft” as “any device that uses airflow to move through the air, and includes any powered or self-propelled model aeroplane”.
The council confirmed to Leader that the ban included kites."
