12Transitional — radiocommunications transmitter registered before commencement of this instrument

12 Transitional – radiocommunications transmitter registered before commencement of this instrument

(1) If a radiocommunications transmitter was included in the Register in relation to an 1800 MHz band spectrum licence before the commencement of this instrument (relevant transmitter), this section applies in relation to that transmitter. (2) Subject to subsection (3), for the purposes of subsection 145(4) of the Act, a level of interference caused by a relevant transmitter is unacceptable if it would have been unacceptable under the Radiocommunications (Unacceptable Levels of Interference – 1800 MHz Band) Determination 2012, as in force at the time the relevant transmitter was included in the Register.

Note: The Radiocommunications (Unacceptable Levels of Interference – 1800 MHz Band) Determination 2012 is available, free of charge, from the Federal Register of Legislation at www.legislation.gov.au.

(3) For the purposes of subsection 145(4) of the Act, if: (a) after the commencement of this instrument, both: (i) a detail of a relevant transmitter changes (relevant change); and (ii) the change to the detail is recorded in the Register; and (b) the distance of the new device boundary of the relevant transmitter is, on each radial mentioned in item 1 of Schedule 2, equal to or less than the distance of the old device boundary of the relevant transmitter on that radial; and (c) but for the effect of this subsection, a level of interference caused by the relevant transmitter, immediately after the change time, would be unacceptable; the level of interference caused by the relevant transmitter, immediately after the change time, is not unacceptable because of the relevant change. (4) For the purposes of subsection 145(4) of the Act, if: (a) after the commencement of this instrument, both: (i) a detail of a relevant transmitter changes (relevant change); and (ii) the change to the detail is recorded in the Register; and (b) the distance of the new additional device boundary of the relevant transmitter is, on each radial mentioned in item 1 of Schedule 2, equal to or less than the distance of the old additional device boundary of the relevant transmitter on that radial; and (c) but for the effect of this subsection, a level of interference caused by the relevant transmitter, immediately after the change time, would be unacceptable; the level of interference caused by the relevant transmitter, immediately after the change time, is not unacceptable because of the relevant change. (5) In subsections (3) and (4):

change time, for a relevant transmitter, means the time the relevant change is recorded in the Register.

new additional device boundary, of a relevant transmitter, means the additional device boundary of the transmitter established immediately after the change time, in accordance with this instrument as in force at the change time.
