Notes
1 Name of plan [see Note 1]
This plan is the VHF High Band Frequency Band Plan (148 to 174 MHz) 1991.
2 General
The following notes describe the intention of this plan and outline the approach adopted for its implementation.
Note: [General Note: This general note and other notes in square brackets are intended to provide guidance in the operation of the Band Plan and are not intended to be part of the Band Plan.
Note: (1) This plan provides for the expansion of existing services and the introduction of new types of services.
Note: (2) The principal changes to the VHF High Band provide for:
Note: (a) predominant use of the band for land mobile services; and
Note: (b) a band structure which accommodates predominantly two frequency systems to facilitate more efficient use of radiocommunications sites; and
Note: (c) the introduction of land mobile services (trunked) and amplitude companded single sideband services to increase the long term productivity of the band; and
Note: (d) the existing 30 kHz channelling to be replaced by a more spectrum efficient 12.5 kHz channelling to increase the short and medium term productivity of the band; and
Note: (e) flexibility to accommodate services which provide more efficient use of the spectrum.
Note: (3) This plan commences on gazettal.]
3 Definitions
(1) Unless the contrary intention appears, a word or expression used in this plan and in the spectrum plan has the same meaning in this plan as it has in the spectrum plan (even if the word or expression is also defined in the Radiocommunications (Interpretation) Determination 2000.
Note For the definitions of other expressions used in this plan, see the Radiocommunications Act 1992, the Radiocommunications (Interpretation) Determination 2000 and the Radiocommunications Regulations 1993.
(2) In this plan, unless the contrary intention appears:
Act means the Radiocommunications Act 1992.
allocation means the purpose for which a segment may be used.
allowed area means the geographic area in which services specified in this plan may be operated.
authorised means authorised by the ACA.
bandwidth means the frequency difference between the upper frequency limit and the lower frequency limit of a sub-band.
base receive means a segment which may be used at a base station for reception only.
base transmit means a segment which may be used at a base station for transmission only.
channel means a sub-band in a segment, with a specified centre frequency.
channelling refers to the frequency separation between 2 consecutive channel centre frequencies in the same segment.
fixed service (paging) means the fixed service used for paging.
HSD area has the meaning it is given in clause 13.
interior paging talkback channel means a channel in a land mobile service (single frequency) which is used in conjunction with an interior paging service, but which may not be used for transmissions between ambulatory stations on land.
land mobile service (paging) means the land mobile service used for paging.
miscellaneous service means a mobile service, or a fixed service, that uses unconventional or innovative radiocommunications technologies.
narrowband area service means a service provided by a narrowband area service station.
non-HSD area means an area outside (or on the rural area side of) an HSD area.
non-rural area means an area outside (or on the HSD area side of) a rural area.
paging means exterior paging or interior paging.
Note The definitions of exterior paging and interior paging in the Radiocommunications (Interpretation) Determination 2000 refer to communication. Communication is defined in that determination as including communication in any form, including speech, music or other sounds, data, text, visual images and signals.
primary service has the same meaning as in the spectrum plan.
rural area has the meaning it is given in in clause 13.
secondary service has the same meaning as in the spectrum plan.
segment is a sub-band of the VHF High Band, represented by a letter in the range ‘A’ to ‘W’, as indicated in Column 2 of an item in Table 2 or 3, to which the frequency range in Column 3 of Table 2 corresponds.
single frequency means a mode of operation in which transmissions can be made between 2 stations in either one or both directions, but not simultaneously in both directions, and for which only one channel is used.
sub-band means any part of the VHF High Band.
transmit/receive split means the frequency separation between the transmit channel centre frequency and receive channel centre frequency of a station in a two frequency service.
trunked means a mode of operation in which base stations are used for communicating with mobile stations and in which a number of users share the use of 2 or more channels selected automatically by the base station.
two frequency means a mode of operation in which transmissions can be made between 2 stations and in which 2 channels are used.
VHF High Band is the range of frequencies from 148 MHz (exclusive) to 174 MHz (inclusive).
6 General purposes for band segments
Subject to clause 9 and the spectrum plan, the VHF High Band, represented diagrammatically in Figure 1, may only be used for a service:
(a) which transmits or receives signals in a channel in the range specified in Column 3 of an item in Table 2, to which range the segment in Column 2 corresponds; and
(b) whose purpose accords with the allocation specified in Column 4 of that item; and
(c) in a geographic area specified in Column 5 of that item.
7 Channelling arrangements for band segments
(1) Subject to clause 9 and subclause 7 (3) and the spectrum plan, the VHF High Band may only be used for a service which operates:
(a) within a channel whose centre frequency is determined by the formula specified in Column 3 of an item in Table 3, where the values of ‘n’ in the formula are specified in Column 4 of that item; and
(b) within a channel bandwidth as specified in Column 5 of that item.
(2) The transmit/receive split in the VHF High Band is 4.6 MHz.
(3) Channelling arrangements other than those specified by subclauses 7 (1) and 7 (2) may be authorised where such arrangements provide for more efficient use of the spectrum, as compared to the channelling arrangements specified for that segment.
Note: [Note In determining the spectrum efficiency of a service, without limiting the range of matters which may be taken into account, the following matters may be considered:
Note: (a) occupied bandwidth;
Note: (b) adjacent channel performance;
Note: (c) the distance from the transmitter that the channel may be used again without causing harmful interference;
Note: (d) the impact that introduction of the service will have upon existing services.]
8 Status of allocations
Unless the contrary intention appears, a service which is operated according to clauses 6 and 7 is a primary service.
9 Exemption from compliance with clause 6 or 7 — existing services
(1) An existing service may use frequencies in the VHF High Band, on a secondary basis, to supply a service that does not comply with either clause 6 or 7.
(2) For subclause (1), an existing service is a service for the operation of which a licence:
(a) was, or is taken to have been, in force on 30 June 1998; and
(b) has continued, or is taken to have continued, in force after that date.
(3) For this clause:
(a) a licence is taken to have been in force on 30 June 1998 if the operation of the service became unlicensed between 2 May 1998 and 30 June 1998 and was unlicensed for not more than 60 consecutive days; and
(b) a licence is taken to have continued in force after 30 June 1998 if the operation of the service has been unlicensed for not more than 60 consecutive days.
9A Exemption from compliance with clause 7 — new services
(1) A new service may use frequencies in the VHF High Band, on a secondary basis, in a non-HSD area, to supply a service that does not comply with clause 7.
(2) For subclause (1), a new service is a service for which a licence was not in force, or taken to have been in force for clause 9, on 30 June 1998.

13 High Spectrum Demand and Rural areas
(1) A High Spectrum Demand (HSD) area is the area on or within a circular contour drawn with a radius specified in Column 5 of an item in Table 4, centred on a point specified as an Australian Map Grid coordinate in Column 4 of that item.
(2) The centre point is nominally described by reference to a nearby town, specified in Column 3, situated in a State specified in Column 2 of that item.
(3) Where adjacent areas overlap, an HSD area then becomes the combination of those adjacent areas.
(4) The Rural area is defined by a contour which lies 100 km outside the HSD areas and encloses the HSD areas.
(5) Diagrammatic representations of the HSD and Rural areas are set out in Figure 2.
