Plain English Summary

6/10 complexity

This Plan sets which TV channels can be used, where, and under what technical limits across three regional Victoria licence areas. It allocates channels to commercial licensees, national broadcasters and others, and sets maximum effective radiated power (ERP), polarisation and areas served. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) decides allotments, may impose further technical limits or conditions, and authorises transmitter licences under the Radiocommunications Act. It affects broadcasters, transmitter‑licence holders and anyone seeking to use spectrum in those regions.

What it does

This instrument, the Television Licence Area Plan (Regional Victoria) 2012, designates which radiofrequency television channels may be used for television broadcasting services within three defined TV1 licence areas in Victoria: Regional Victoria TV1, Eastern Victoria TV1 and Western Victoria TV1 (s 1, s 3 and Attachments 1-3). It is made under subsection 26(1B) of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, and comes into force on the day after registration (s 1-2). Mechanically, the Plan performs three functions.

First, it makes channels available generally within a licence area, by listing channels in Schedules and linking each channel to a “general area served” (s 4; Schedules). Section 4(1) provides that channels specified in column 1 of a Schedule table are available in the area described in column 7 to provide television broadcasting services, subject to any date limits in column 3 (s 4(1)-(2)).

Second, it allots channels to specific classes of users. Schedule 1 allots channels to named commercial television broadcasting licensees (s 5(1)-(3)); Schedule 2 allots channels to national broadcasters, namely the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the Special Broadcasting Service Corporation, in the tables provided (s 6(1)-(3)); and Schedule 3 lists channels available to providers of other television broadcasting services (s 7(1)-(3)). Tables identify, per item, channel number (column 1), dates of commencement/expiry (columns 2-3), a maximum effective radiated power or ERP (column 4), polarisation (column 5), any additional specifications (column 6), and a general area served (column 7).

Third, the Plan imposes technical limits and leaves a regulatory path for variation and enforcement. For channels in Schedules, transmissions are constrained by maximum ERP, polarisation and any “additional specification” recorded in the table (s 5(4), s 6(4), s 7(4)). The ACMA retains explicit discretion to issue transmitter licences under the Radiocommunications Act 1992 that can set a different maximum ERP (subject to either the Broadcasting Services (Technical Planning) Guidelines 2017 or a default 5 dB cap above the Plan limit) (s 5(5), s 6(5), s 7(5)). The ACMA may determine additional technical limitations or events or circumstances that must occur before a channel may be used (s 5(6)-(9); s 6(6)-(9); s 7(6)-(9)). The Plan therefore sets default allocation and technical ceilings while preserving the ACMA’s licensing and technical-determination powers under the Broadcasting Services Act and the Radiocommunications Act.

In this Plan:

ACMA means the Australian Communications and Media Authority.

Act means the Broadcasting Services Act 1992.

commercial television broadcasting licensee means the licensee of a commercial television broadcasting licence.

Eastern Victoria TV1 licence area means the area described in Attachment 2.

ERP means effective radiated power.

national television broadcasting service has the same meaning as in clause 2 of Schedule 4 to the Act.

Regional Victoria TV1 licence area means the area described in Attachment 1.

television broadcasting service has the same meaning as in section 26 of the Act.

transmitter licence has the same meaning as in section 5 of the Radiocommunications Act 1992.

Western Victoria TV1 licence area means the area described in Attachment 3.

Note Terms and expressions used in this Plan have the meaning given by section 6 of the Act. For example:

Note:  commercial television broadcasting licence.

Note: national broadcaster.

4 Specification of channels to be available in particular areas within the Eastern Victoria TV1, Regional Victoria TV1 and Western Victoria TV1 licence areas

(1) Subject to subsection (2), each channel specified in column 1 of an item in a table in a Schedule to this Plan is available, in the area in column 7, to provide television broadcasting services.

(2) If a date is specified in column 3 of an item in a table in a Schedule to this Plan, the channel specified in column 1 of the item is not available in the area in column 7 to provide television broadcasting services after that date.

Note 1 A channel may be specified to be available only for a limited period in order to allow a broadcaster to swap channels on which it transmits services.

Note 2 Although a channel is specified to be available for all parts of a licence area, a particular broadcaster may only be authorised to use that channel in one part of a licence area.

Note: Example Channel 28 may be specified to be available for all parts of a licence area. Channel 28 may be allotted to Broadcaster A and Broadcaster B. The ACMA may issue a transmitter licence for the use of channel 28 to Broadcaster A in one part of the licence area (Part A), and issue a transmitter licence for the use of a different channel to the same broadcaster in another part of the licence area (Part B). The ACMA may issue a transmitter licence for the use of channel 28 to Broadcaster B in Part B. Broadcaster A will not be entitled to transmit on channel 28 in Part B, as the broadcaster will not have a transmitter licence authorising such a transmission.

Allotment of channels to commercial television broadcasting licensees – Schedule 1

5 Allotment of channels to commercial television broadcasting licensees – Schedule 1

Allotment of channels to commercial television broadcasting licensees

(1) Each channel specified in column 1 of an item in a table in Schedule 1 is allotted to the commercial television broadcasting licensee of the licence specified for the table for use in the area in column 7, from the date (if any) specified in column 2 until the date (if any) specified in column 3.

(2) If no date is specified in column 2 for an item in a table in Schedule 1, the channel specified in column 1 of the item is allotted to the commercial television broadcasting licensee of the licence specified for the table from the day on which this Plan comes into force.

(3) If no licensee is specified for a table in Schedule 1, the ACMA may allot the channel specified in column 1 of an item in the table to the commercial television broadcasting licensee of a commercial television broadcasting licence for the licence area specified for the table, for use in the area in column 7.

Note If the ACMA has not allotted a channel specified in the table, the ACMA may make the channel available for use in an area by a commercial television broadcasting licensee, a national broadcaster or any other person by making a determination under section 34 of the Act and issuing a licence under section 100 of the Radiocommunications Act 1992.

Determination of technical specifications of transmission of commercial television broadcasting services

(4) A channel specified in column 1 of an item in a table in Schedule 1 must only be used for transmission of commercial television broadcasting services in accordance with the following specifications:

(i) the condition complies with any applicable requirements in the Broadcasting Services (Technical Planning) Guidelines 2017; or

(ii) if there are no applicable requirements – the condition does not allow the transmitter to be used to provide a transmission greater than 5 dB more than the ERP specified in column 4.

Note Under the Radiocommunications Act 1992, the ACMA may also impose a transmitter licence condition specifying an output radiated pattern for the use of a transmitter. The condition may set a limit for the ERP in a particular direction that is less than the maximum ERP specified in column 4 of an item that applies to the channel used by that transmitter.

(6) A channel specified in column 1 of an item in a table in Schedule 1 must only be used for transmission of commercial television broadcasting services in accordance with a technical limitation (if any) specified for the table that is applicable to that channel.

Note Even if no applicable technical limitation is specified for the table, the ACMA may still determine additional technical limitations on the use of a channel by making a determination under this subsection.

(8) A channel specified in column 1 of an item in a table in Schedule 1 must only be used for transmission of commercial television broadcasting services if an event or circumstance (if any) specified for the table that is applicable to that channel occurs.

Note Even if no applicable event or circumstance is specified for the table, the ACMA may still determine additional events or circumstances that must be met before the channel may be used by making a determination under this subsection.

Note 1 If no date is specified in column 2 of an item, the allotment commences on the day on which this Plan comes into force. See subsection 5(2). If no date is specified in column 3 of an item, the allotment is continuing.

Note 2 Column 7 describes the area in which a channel is allotted for use in general terms. The actual parameters of use of a channel will be determined by the conditions of the transmitter licence issued under the Radiocommunications Act 1992.

Note 3 Column 8 is included for information only. “Transmitter specification number” refers to the identification number used by the ACMA for identifying particular transmitters.

Note 4 In some circumstances, a person may be permitted to transmit on a channel at an ERP higher than that determined in column 4. See subsection 5(5).

Note 5 The one channel may be allotted to two or more different broadcasters, for use in different parts of the one licence area; the ACMA may issue a transmitter licence to one broadcaster authorising the use of the channel in one part of the licence area, and issue transmitter licences to other broadcasters authorising the use of the channel in different parts of the licence area.

Example The ACMA may issue a transmitter licence for the use of channel 8 to a broadcaster in the one part of the licence area (Part A), and issue a transmitter licence for the use of channel 8 to another broadcaster in a different part of the licence area (Part B). Because of this, the first broadcaster can only use channel 8 in Part A of the licence area, and the second broadcaster can only use channel 8 in Part B of the licence area.

as amended

made under subsection 26(1B) of the

Broadcasting Services Act 1992

Compilation No. 3

Compilation date: 30 September 2017

Includes amendments up to: Broadcasting Services (Technical Planning) Guidelines (Consequential Amendments) Instrument 2017 (No. 1)

Prepared by the Australian Communications and Media Authority

1 Name of Plan

This Plan is the Television Licence Area Plan (Regional Victoria) 2012.

2 Commencement

This Plan comes into force on the day after it is registered.

3 Definitions

In this Plan:

ACMA means the Australian Communications and Media Authority.

Act means the Broadcasting Services Act 1992.

commercial television broadcasting licensee means the licensee of a commercial television broadcasting licence.

Eastern Victoria TV1 licence area means the area described in Attachment 2.

ERP means effective radiated power.

national television broadcasting service has the same meaning as in clause 2 of Schedule 4 to the Act.

Regional Victoria TV1 licence area means the area described in Attachment 1.

television broadcasting service has the same meaning as in section 26 of the Act.

transmitter licence has the same meaning as in section 5 of the Radiocommunications Act 1992.

Western Victoria TV1 licence area means the area described in Attachment 3.

Note Terms and expressions used in this Plan have the meaning given by section 6 of the Act. For example:

Note:  commercial television broadcasting licence.

Note: national broadcaster.

4 Specification of channels to be available in particular areas within the Eastern Victoria TV1, Regional Victoria TV1 and Western Victoria TV1 licence areas

Step 1 , Identify applicable Schedule and table entries. A licensee or prospective broadcaster should first confirm which TV1 licence area (Regional, Eastern or Western) applies to the proposed service area by consulting Attachments 1-3, which list the statistical units and “general areas served” (Attachments 1-3; s 3). Then locate the relevant Schedule and table: Schedule 1 for commercial licensees (s 5), Schedule 2 for national broadcasters (s 6) and Schedule 3 for other providers (s 7). Identify the channel number, column 4 ERP, polarisation (column 5), any additional specifications (column 6), and any dates in columns 2-3.

Step 2 , Confirm allotment status and dates. If the table lists a specific licence number (for example BSL103 in Schedule 1 Table 1.1), that Plan entry is an allotment to that licensee from the date in column 2 (or from Plan commencement if column 2 is blank) until column 3 if an end date is specified (s 5(1)-(3); s 5(2)). If no licensee is specified for a table or an item, the ACMA may allot the channel to a licensee or other person; in that case the applicant should prepare to engage with ACMA’s allocation process (s 5(3); s 6(3); s 7(3)).

Step 3 , Check transmitter licence requirements. The Plan repeatedly notes that actual parameters of use are determined by conditions attached to a transmitter licence issued under the Radiocommunications Act and that the ACMA may impose output radiated pattern limits (Schedules Notes; s 5(5) note). Applicants must therefore confirm the terms of any relevant transmitter licence (s 5 note; s 6 note; s 7 note) and, if necessary, apply for a transmitter licence under the Radiocommunications Act to obtain authorisation to operate on a Plan-listed channel.

Step 4 , Observe ERP, polarisation and additional specifications. Deployments must comply with the Plan’s technical specifications recorded in column 4 (maximum ERP) and column 5 (polarisation) and any additional specifications in column 6 (s 5(4); s 6(4); s 7(4)). If a higher ERP is sought the applicant must obtain an ACMA-issued transmitter licence with a condition relating to the maximum ERP that either complies with the Broadcasting Services (Technical Planning) Guidelines 2017 or, if no applicable guideline requirement exists, does not exceed the Plan ERP by more than 5 dB (s 5(5)(a)-(c)).

Step 5 , Assess whether additional ACMA determinations apply. The Plan allows the ACMA to determine additional technical limitations on use of a channel and to require specified events or circumstances before use (s 5(6)-(9); s 6(6)-(9); s 7(6)-(9)). Practitioners should confirm whether any such determinations have been made for the channel or licence area and ensure all prerequisites are met before energising equipment.

Step 6 , Coordinate with ACMA and obtain needed approvals. Where the Plan does not itself allot a channel to a specific licensee, or where a transmitter licence is required, deploy a formal application to ACMA for allotment or for a transmitter licence under the Radiocommunications Act (s 5 note; s 6 note; s 7 note). Include technical plans that demonstrate compliance with the Plan’s ERP/polarisation/ additional specifications and with any applicable Broadcasting Services (Technical Planning) Guidelines.

Step 7 , Technical implementation with licence conditions in mind. On approval, configure transmitters to operate within the maximum ERP and polarisation set out in the Plan and the transmitter licence. Be aware that transmitter licence conditions may set directional ERP limits that are lower than the Plan’s maximum, and those will govern final operational limits (Notes to s 5-7). Ensure antenna patterns, power settings and site engineering reflect licence conditions.

Step 8 , Monitor temporal allotment windows and Plan amendments. Check column 2 and column 3 dates and any Plan variations as the Plan has been varied in 2014, 2016 and 2017 (Notes). If operating under a time-limited allotment, plan migration or channel-swap activities before the allotment end date. Monitor the Federal Register of Legislation and ACMA publications for determinations, guideline updates and consequential amendments that may affect station operation.

Step 9 , Maintain records and liaison. Retain copies of the Plan entries, transmitter licence, ACMA determinations and any correspondence or technical approvals. Maintain liaison with ACMA on any proposed changes to ERP, polarisation, or additions to technical limitations, as the ACMA retains the power to determine additional conditions and to issue transmitter licences that alter permissible operating parameters.

Step 10 , Legal and compliance review. Because the Plan does not itself set out penalties or enforcement processes, compliance should be checked against the transmitter licence and the applicable Acts and Guidelines. Regular compliance audits should verify that ERP, polarisation, and transmitter patterns remain within permitted values and that any required events or circumstances specified by ACMA are satisfied. If in doubt about the applicability of the Broadcasting Services (Technical Planning) Guidelines or the interpretation of a Plan entry, seek clarification or a pre-application conference with ACMA, and consider legal advice on administrative and licensing procedures.

By following these steps and grounding operational plans in the Plan’s table entries (columns 1-6), the transmitter licence conditions, and the Broadcasting Services (Technical Planning) Guidelines where applicable, broadcasters and prospective users can align deployments with the Plan’s regulatory framework.
