This spectrum plan may be cited as the Radiocommunications Australian Spectrum Plan.\n\nGeneral\n\n2. (1) This document sets out the Radiocommunications—Australian Spectrum Plan, which divides the radio frequency spectrum into a number of bands and specifies the general purposes for which the bands may be used.\n\n(2) The primary basis for the structure of this Spectrum Plan is the Table of Frequency Allocations contained in the Radio Regulations published by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).\n\n(3) In particular this Spectrum Plan is based on the Table in the Radio Regulations appropriate to ITU Region 3 with reference to the following chart:\n\n![](image.002.png)\n\n(4) In the chart in subclause (3):\n\n(a) Region 1 includes the area limited on the east by line A and on the west by line B, excluding any of the territory of Iran which lies between these limits and including that part of the territory of Turkey and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics lying outside of these limits, the territory of the Mongolian People’s Republic, and the area to the north of the USSR which lies between lines A and C; and\n\n(b) Region 2 includes the area limited on the east by line B and on the west by C; and\n\n(c) Region 3 includes the area limited on the east by line C and on the west by line A, except the territories of Mongolian People’s Republic, Turkey, the territory of the U.S.S.R. and the area to the north of the U.S.S.R. and also includes that part of the territority of Iran lying outside those limits.\n\n(5) A full description of where the lines A,B and C are to be drawn on a map may be found in Nos. 396 to 399 of the Radio Regulations.\n\n(6) Where the words “regions” or “regional” are without a capital “R” in the Radio Regulations or in this Spectrum Plan, they do not relate to the three Regions here defined for purposes of frequency allocation.\n\n(7) A sub-Region is an area consisting of two or more countries in the same Region.\n\n(8) The shaded part of the chart in subclause (3) represents the Tropical Zone as defined in Nos. 406 to 411 of the Radio Regulations.\n\n(9) The “Tropical Zone” consists of:\n\n(a) the whole of that area in Region 2 between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn; and\n\n(b) the whole of that area in Regions 1 and 3 contained between the parallels 30 degrees North and 35 degrees South with the addition of:\n\n(i) the area contained between the meridians 40 degrees East and\n\n80 degrees East of Greenwich and the parallels 30 degrees North and 40 degrees North; and\n\n(ii) that part of Libya north of parallel 30 degrees North.\n\n(10) In Region 2, the Tropical Zone may be extended to parallel 33 degrees North, subject to special agreements between the countries concerned in that Region.\n\n(NOTE: The operation of radiocommunications transmitters for non-broadcasting purposes is governed by the Radiocommunications Act 1983. As a general rule a person may not operate a radiocommunications transmitter for non-broadcasting purposes unless the Minister has granted a licence. The categories of licence which the Minister may grant are set out in the Radiocommunications (Licensing and General) Regulations made under the Act. However, certain non-broadcasting transmitters are exempt from licensing by regulation under section 22 of the Act.\n\nIn deciding whether to grant a licence the Minister is required to have regard to all matters that he considers relevant, including:\n\n(a) whether or not:\n\n(i) the applicant; or\n\n(ii) each person specified by the applicant as a person to whom the\n\napplicant, if successful in his application, proposes to give an authority under subsection 26(1);\n\nis a qualified operator in relation to any licence that the Minister\n\nmay grant as a result of the application;\n\n(b) the extent (if any) to which the purpose of the operation of the\n\ntransmitters specified by the applicant is a purpose that could reasonably, in all the circumstances, be effected by a means other than the proposed operation of the transmitters;\n\n(c) whether or not the Minister is satisfied that the proposed\n\noperation of the transmitters is in accordance with the appropriate frequency band plan;\n\n(d) the effect on radiocommunications of the proposed operation of the\n\ntransmitters;\n\n(e) whether or not the Minister is satisfied that the proposed\n\noperation of the transmitters is not reasonably likely to cause death of, or injury to, persons, or loss of, or damage to, property;\n\n(f) the policies specified in Division 1 of Part 3 of the\n\nTelecommunications Act 1989.\n\nUnder subsection 7 (1) of the Act the Minister is also required to have\n\nregard to the International Telecommunication Convention and the ITU Radio Regulations.\n\nSubsection 25 (1) of the Act sets out conditions to which a licence is subject. As well as particular conditions specified in subsection 25 (1), a licence is also subject to conditions prescribed by regulations or specified by the Minister in the licence.\n\nOf particular importance is paragraph 25 (1) (a) which makes it a condition that the holder of the licence shall not operate, or permit the operation of, the transmitter except for a purpose specified in the licence, being a purpose not inconsistent with a purpose of a kind specified in the appropriate frequency band plan under subsection 19 (2) of the Act.)\n\nAlternative Allocations\n\n3. Australia may adopt alternative allocations to those specified in Article 8 of the Radio Regulations provided that:\n\n(a) no harmful interference is caused to stations in other countries\n\noperating in accordance with the provisions of the International Telecommunication Convention and the ITU Radio Regulations; and\n\n(b) the possibility of harmful interference from other stations\n\noperating in accordance with the provisions of the International Telecommunication Convention and the ITU Radio Regulations is accepted.\n\nRestriction of a Use of Certain Bands to the Tropical Zone\n\n4. Use by the broadcasting service of the bands listed below is restricted to the Tropical Zone:\n\n2300—2498 kHz (Region 1)\n\n2300—2495 kHz (Regions 2 and 3)\n\n3200—3400 kHz (all Regions)\n\n4750—4995 kHz (all Regions)\n\n5005—5060 kHz (all Regions)\n\n(NOTE: Further details as regards the use of bands designated for Tropical Zone broadcasting may be found in Article 30 of the Radio Regulations.)\n\nInterpretation\n\n5.

(1) In interpreting this Spectrum Plan:\n\n(a) the table in Part 5 of this Spectrum Plan indicates in diagrammatic form the radio frequency spectrum from 9kHz to 400 GHz, which has been divided into frequency bands within which certain designated radiocommunications services may be operated (see Part 1 for the definitions of these services);\n\nand\n\n(b) bands are shown in increasing frequency order from 9 kHz to 400 GHz; and\n\n(c) the range of frequencies covered by each page of the Table is shown above the heading, together with the unit of frequency (kHz, MHz or GHz); and\n\n(NOTE: As Australia is a signatory to the International Telecommunication Convention, regard is taken of the provisions of the ITU Radio Regulations in the assignment of frequencies to radiocommunication services shown in Article 8 of the ITU Radio Regulations for Regions 1, 2 and 3 which are reproduced in Column 1 of the table.)\n\n(d) the allocation to services in Australia is shown in Column 2 which is sub-divided into frequency bands; and\n\n(e) each band is assigned a name which consists of two numbers in the top left hand corner of the box containing the band and the unit of frequency set out in the heading at the top of the table on the page containing the frequency band, for example, on the first page in Part 5 “9--14” is in the top left hand corner of the box and kilohertz is the unit of frequency at the top of the page and the name of this frequency band is the “9 to 14 kilohertz band”; and\n\n(f) the actual frequencies contained in each band are those greater than the first number up to, and including the second number, for example, the frequencies contained in the band referred to in paragraph (e) are those above 9 kilohertz including, but not exceeding, 14 kilohertz; and\n\n(g) within each band in each column:\n\n(i) the boxes contain a list of radiocommunication services that may operate within that band; and\n\n(ii) the order of listing of services in the table does not indicate relative priority within each category; and\n\n(iii) the status of individual services (primary, secondary or permitted) is indicated by their being in either capitals, lower case, or between oblique strokes, respectively; and\n\n(h) in the case where the name of a service is followed by an addition in parenthesis, that service allocation is restricted to the type of operation so indicated, for example, “FIXED-SATELLITE (earth-to-space)” limits transmitting stations in the fixed-satellite service to operation in the earth-to-satellite direction; and\n\n(i) in addition, the name of a service may be followed by additional remarks, for example, “MOBILE except aeronautical mobile” limits the allocation to the land mobile and maritime mobile services, and excludes the aeronautical mobile service and “MOBILE except aeronautical mobile (R)” limits the allocation to the land mobile, maritime mobile and aeronautical mobile (OR) services, and excludes the aeronautical mobile (R) service; and\n\n(j) in Column 1 there may be a number (eg “444”) following the allocation to a service, or appearing at the bottom of the box and these numbers refer to “footnotes” which are contained in Part 7 of this Spectrum Plan and have equivalent status to the entries shown in the Table; and\n\n(k) the allocations to services in Column 2 generally follow the allocations to Region 3 shown in Article 8 of the Radio Regulations, and account has been taken of additional allocations and alternative allocations to the Region 3 Table applicable to Australia, with either a table or footnote entry as appropriate; and\n\n(l) in addition to relevant ITU footnotes, particular Australian footnotes\n\nare shown in Column 2, prefixed by the letters “AUS”, and footnotes with this prefix are defined in Part 6 of this Spectrum Plan and have equivalent status to the entries shown in Column 2 of the Table;

and\n\n(n) the footnote reference indicators that appear to the right or indented and immediately below the name of a particular service apply only to that service.\n\n(NOTE: Where footnotes from the Region 3 Table that are operative in Australia call for administrations to act in a particular manner (eg 444, 572 etc), the Australian Administration will have regard to these requirements.)\n\n(2) Where column 2 of the Table in Part 5 or a footnote in that column allocates services to a frequency band which are different to the services allocated in that part of Column 1 of the Table or a footnote in that part which applies to the frequency band in Region 3, operation of the services allocated by Column 2 in Australia is constrained by:\n\n(a) any restraints on the services specified in Column 2 or specified by a relevant footnote; and\n\n(b) the requirement in Radio Regulation 342 that the services cause no harmful interference to services operating in accordance with the provisions of the International Telecommunication Convention and the Radio Regulations.\n\n(3) Notwithstanding subclause (2), requirements for coordination or notification of services expressed in the Radio Regulations apply.\n\n(4) For the purposes of the definitions of “medium frequency band” and “very high frequency band” in subsection 4 (1) of the Broadcasting Act 1942 and subsection 6B (3) of the Radio Licence Fees Act 1964:\n\n(a) the band of frequencies above 300 kilohertz, up to and including 3000 kilohertz is designated as the medium frequency band;
