So the CAA in New Zealand has come up with new rules that apply after August 1 2015
Basically we will be unable to fly above any property without the owners permission. Including public property maintained by local Councils or government.
We will need to get permission from the council or government agency to fly over all parks, roads buildings etc.
We will also need consent from every individual who happens to be in the flight path or owners of all properties in the flight path.
Apart from empty remote beaches, I am not sure where we will be able to fly.
Basically, we are [moderator edit: foul language removed]. And I thought the USA was overregulated

NEW RULES

(a) A person operating a remotely piloted aircraft must—
(1) Unless operating in a danger area under Part 71, avoid
operating –
(i) in airspace above persons who have not given consent
for the aircraft to operate in that airspace; and
(ii) above property unless prior consent has been obtained
from any persons occupying that property or the
property owner; and
(2) maintain observation of the surrounding airspace in which
the aircraft is operating for other aircraft; and
(3) not operate the aircraft at any height above 400 feet above
ground level except in accordance with paragraph (c).
