Dronehab services the Central Highlands from Emerald — the southern Bowen Basin mines around Blackwater and Clermont, irrigated cropping on the Nogoa and Comet, and grazing country out to Springsure and Rolleston. The same CASA-certified crew and DJI Agras T100 fleet that runs our Mackay and Moranbah work bases in Emerald for campaign work.

Common questions
Do you charge travel from Mackay to Emerald?
For single jobs a mobilisation fee applies; for campaigns we base the crew in Emerald and mobilisation is absorbed into the program rate.
Can you spray prickly acacia and parthenium on grazing country?
Yes. We map the infestation first, spot-treat by drone at variable rate, and return GPS records so you can demonstrate control under the Biosecurity Act.
Do you do crop work?
Yes — multispectral and thermal analytics for irrigated cropping, plus Agras application where label and situation allow.
