Exploring New Horizons

At East Coast Drones (ECD), our mission is simple — to help our clients work smarter by integrating technology that lightens the load and boosts productivity.

Our journey began in 2017 on a regenerative agricultural property in Central Queensland. Initially, we used drones to move large mobs of cattle across rugged country. With countless flying hours and plenty of experimentation, we discovered the incredible potential of our first drone — the DJI Mavic Pro.

From checking tanks and water troughs to navigating challenging mountain terrain, our drone quickly became an essential part of daily operations. What started as a practical solution for stock work soon evolved into a much bigger vision.

Today, we operate advanced agricultural drones capable of planting crops and pastures, as well as spraying weeds with precision. We also utilise the X Mission drone to map paddocks in stunning detail, producing accurate 2D and 3D maps. Paired with a multispectral camera, this technology provides pinpoint plant health feedback, empowering land managers to make data-driven decisions.

Through it all, our commitment remains the same — to get the job done with minimal impact on the environment and landscape, ensuring smarter, safer, and more sustainable outcomes.
