Have just been reading about the remarkable jetpack flight over Dubai, in the article Flying over Dubai — and other places — with jetpacks (a YouTube of the incredible flight is available on YouTube).

My question is, what is the law regarding a similar flight over an Australian city? (for example, flying over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and around the Centrepoint Tower)

Assuming that the aircraft is allowed to operate in Australia, that the pilot was licensed, communications were to spec etc. then the answer is given in designated Airspaces handbook.

Without going into details the airspace above Sydney is controlled and permission from Airservices Australia would be needed.
