54 Adjustment for earth licence – co-located and co-frequency earth stations authorised by the same licence

(1) This item applies to an earth licence that authorises the operation of one or more earth stations (the co-located earth stations), where: (a) one of the following applies: (i) if the density type for the relevant spectrum access for at least one of the co-located earth stations is the high density type – all of the co-located earth stations are located within a circle that has a radius of 500 metres; (ii) if the density type for the relevant spectrum access for at least one of the co-located earth stations is the medium density type, and the density type for the relevant spectrum access for none of the co-located earth stations is the high density type – all of the co-located earth stations are located within a circle that has a radius of 1 kilometre; (iii) in any other case – all of the co-located earth stations are located within a circle that has a radius of 2 kilometres; and (b) each spectrum access for the licence, within which the co-located earth stations may operate, consists of frequencies within which the licence authorises the operation of an earth station. (2) If, for co-located earth stations, there are 2 or more spectrum accesses for the licence (the component accesses): (a) the component accesses are taken to be a single spectrum access (the combined access) for the purposes of this instrument; and (b) the bandwidth (in kHz) of the combined access is the difference between the highest frequency that falls within the component accesses and the lowest frequency that falls within the component accesses. (3) For a combined access that consists of 2 or more component accesses, the density type for the combined access is: (a) if the density type for at least one such component access is the Australia wide density type – the Australia wide density type; (b) if the density type for at least one such component access is the high density type, and the density type for no such component access is the Australia wide density type – the high density type; (c) if the density type for at least one such component access is the medium density type, and the density type for no such component access is the Australia wide density type or the high density type – the medium density type; (d) if the density type for at least one such component access is the low density type, and the density type for no such component access is the Australia wide density type, the high density type or the medium density type – the low density type; (e) otherwise – the remote density type. (4) Subject to item 55, the annual amount for the combined access for the licence is the amount worked out under item 50. (5) Subject to item 55, the annual amount for any spectrum access for the licence that is not a component access is the amount worked out under item 50.
