OctoDrones Tasmania Brochure

Some jobs take too long on foot. Some areas are too wet, steep, rough or sensitive for machinery. Some problems only become clear from above.

OctoDrones provides professionally operated drone services for practical aerial work — spraying, seeding, spreading, greenhouse whitewash and coatings, mapping, inspections, thermal, LiDAR, multispectral, Agremo analysis, media capture and heavy-lift support in Tasmania.

We do not sell drones. We bring the aircraft, pilots, planning, compliance and practical know-how to complete the job safely, efficiently and with useful results.

Why It Works

Drones can reach difficult areas, reduce ground impact, improve access and target treatment where machinery, foot access, dams, wet areas or timing make the job harder.

Access

Precision

Efficiency

Compliance You Can Rely On

Every job is assessed for site suitability, product suitability, label requirements, weather, terrain, safety, access and CASA compliance before we fly, including approved night operations where suitable under our ReOC.

LiDAR, multispectral & water mapping

LiDAR and multispectral support for terrain, structure, vegetation and crop-condition insights
Water-level and shoreline measurement for dams, rivers, reservoirs and tanks using suitable near-infrared sensors
Bathymetric green-laser mapping for underwater terrain where conditions allow

Multispectral

Thermal insight

Thermal imagery for heat signatures, moisture variation, livestock, wildlife and hotspots
Useful for inspections and field support when conditions are suitable

Thermal Insight

Crops, spraying & spreading

Aerial weed spraying, crop protection and preventative treatments such as fungicide and insecticide, fertiliser spraying and spreading, granular spreading, broadcast seeding, crop checks, dam reeds and aquatic weed spraying where suitable, variable-rate support and paddock access when timing, terrain or ground conditions make machinery difficult.

Pasture & livestock support

Pasture renovation, weed spraying, granular spreading, fertiliser spraying and spreading, dam reeds and aquatic weed spraying where suitable, land-condition monitoring and livestock-support tasks where aerial access makes sense.

Vineyards, orchards, canopy & horticulture work

Canopy checks, weed spraying, crop protection, preventative fungicide and insecticide treatments, fertiliser spraying and spreading, irrigation insight, block mapping and visual records for high-value growing areas.

Greenhouse whitewash & removal

Drone-applied greenhouse whitewash, temporary cooling coatings, wash-down/removal support and specialist coating work where roof access is unsafe or impractical.

Aquaculture, marine & kelp support

Feed and granular spreading, pen and lease inspections, coastal and shoreline documentation, marine site support, kelp-harvesting support and specialised aerial jobs where access from land or water is difficult.

Heavy-lift Drones

Heavy-lift drones can support remote delivery, difficult-access logistics, crew support, emergency response and specialist lifts using sling or winch systems where suitable.

Forestry & revegetation support

Post-harvest weed treatment, aerial seeding, revegetation support, terrain mapping and access to steep, wet or sensitive sites.

Inspection, access & project support

Infrastructure checks, erosion assessment, land capability reporting, site documentation and specialist project support where drones can reduce time on the ground.

OctoDrones combines CASA-compliant drone operations with hands-on technical and agricultural knowledge. We work in real field conditions, with real access, treatment and land-management challenges — including approved night operations where the job, site and safety requirements allow.

How it works

Tell us the job

What needs treating, checking, mapping, inspecting or reaching?

We assess suitability

We assess the site, airspace, weather, terrain, product suitability, safety requirements and the result you need.

We fly the mission

OctoDrones carries out the mission professionally, safely and in line with approvals.

You get the result

You receive the completed application, maps, imagery, inspection records, support delivery or practical findings.

Hard to reach, hard to see or hard to do?

Some of the best drone jobs do not fit neatly into a standard service list. If access, terrain, urgency or safety is the challenge, a drone may be part of the answer.

Ask us: Could a drone help with this?

Tell us what you are trying to do. If a drone is suitable, we will help work out the safest and most practical aerial approach.
