The temporary Restricted Area (as shown in ) will encompass the Marina Bay Floating Platform and the surrounding areas, and will extend from ground level to 600 feet above mean sea level.
The establishment of the temporary Restricted Area is to ensure the safety of the aircraft and the public. During the stated dates and timings, the conduct of aerial activities (such as kite-flying, hoisting of captive balloons and flying of unmanned aircraft including drones) is prohibited within and into the temporary Restricted Area, unless authorised by the CAAS, as such activities endanger the aircraft as well as people and property on the ground.
Unauthorised conduct of aerial activities within and into the temporary Restricted Area is an offence under the ANO. SAF personnel will be deployed to conduct enforcement activities. If convicted, a person can be fined up to S$20,000 in the first instance and fined up to S$40,000 and/or imprisoned for up to 15 months in subsequent instances.
