This Part describes the procedures and timetable for allocating spectrum licences that authorise the operation of radiocommunications devices in the 1800 MHz band.
(1) The ACMA will allocate and issue spectrum licences for spectrum in the 1800 MHz band in the manner described in this Plan and the allocation determination.
(2) This Plan will have no effect if the re-allocation declaration is revoked in accordance with the Act.
(1) Spectrum licences for spectrum in the 1800 MHz band will be allocated by a simultaneous multiple round ascending (SMRA) auction in accordance with the procedures set out in the allocation determination (auction).
Note Neither the ACMA nor the Commonwealth accepts any liability for any loss or damage suffered by any person participating in the auction. Any person intending to participate in the auction should obtain their own legal, technical and financial advice before applying.
(2) However, if the ACMA considers that it may be able to allocate spectrum licences without having to conduct an auction, the ACMA may offer to allocate spectrum licences for a pre-determined price.
(3) The ACMA may also make allocations of spectrum in the 1800 MHz band for unallocated lots in accordance with section 8.1 of the allocation determination.
(1) There are three categories of lots for the 1800 MHz band. The categories are characterised by:
(a) the frequencies set out in columns 3 and 4 of table 1 in Schedule 1; and
(b) the bandwidth described in column 5 of table 1 in Schedule 1.
(2) The ACMA has divided up the 1800 MHz band into the lots described in Schedule 2. Each lot is characterised by:
(a) the category to which the lot belongs, set out in column 3 of table 1 in Schedule 2;
(b) the region for the lot, specified in column 4 of table 1 in Schedule 2; and
(c) the frequencies set out in columns 5 and 6 of table 1 in Schedule 2.
(3) The size of each lot varies depending upon which category of the 1800 MHz band the lot is in. Lots in categories 1 and 3 are 2 x 5 MHz, being 5 MHz in the lower frequency range mentioned for that category in table 1 of Schedule 1 and 5 MHz in the upper frequency range mentioned for that category in table 1 of Schedule 1. Lots in category 2 are 2 x 2.5 MHz, being 2.5 MHz in the lower frequency range mentioned for that category in table 1 of Schedule 1 and 2.5 MHz in the upper frequency range mentioned for that category in table 1 of Schedule 1.
(4) The ACMA will notify applicants of the lot rating for each lot set under section 4.6 of the allocation determination. All lots in the same region within the same category will have the same lot rating.
(5) The lot rating will be used as the basis for calculating the amount of an applicant’s eligibility payment or deed of financial security. Details of this are in section 4.16 of the allocation determination.
(6) The auction will be held in accordance with the procedures set out in the allocation determination. All lots will be available for allocation at the auction.
(7) If, before the auction manager sets the start date and time for the first and second rounds of the auction, the ACMA considers that it may be able to allocate spectrum licences for lots without having to conduct an auction to identify the highest value user for the spectrum represented by those lots, the ACMA may offer to allocate spectrum licences for the lots for a pre‑determined price, as set out in Part 5 of the allocation determination.
The ACMA will publish details of the auction and invite persons to apply to take part in the auction, in accordance with the allocation determination.
(1) The ACMA will make available an applicant information package that contains more detail about application requirements and the auction process in accordance with the allocation determination. Details of what must be in the applicant information package are in subsection 4.5 (1) of the allocation determination.
(2) Details of how to apply to take part in the auction are set out in Part 4 of the allocation determination.
This Part describes:
(a) the spectrum licences that will be issued in accordance with this Plan;
(b) some of the matters a licensee must take into account when operating radiocommunications devices under a spectrum licence issued in accordance with this Plan;
(c) conditions to be included in spectrum licences issued in accordance with this Plan; and
(d) other matters which a person should take into account when deciding whether to apply for a spectrum licence to be issued in accordance with this Plan.
Subject to the Act, the allocation determination and other relevant law, the ACMA will issue a spectrum licence to the person to whom it is allocated as soon as practicable after the person pays to the ACMA the balance of the winning price in accordance with Division 2 of Part 7 of the allocation determination or the full balance of the pre-determined price in accordance with section 5.5 of the allocation determination.
(1) Licences issued to a person who has been allocated a lot or lots as a result of the auction or for a pre-determined price will start on the date set out in section 3.4 and will be for a fixed term with an expiry date of 17 June 2028.
(2) Where allocation occurs afterwards because of unallocated lots at the auction, the licence will be for a fixed term, with an expiry date of 17 June 2028, starting on a date to be specified by the ACMA.
(1) A licence issued to a person who has been allocated a lot in Category 1 as a result of the auction or for a pre-determined price will come into force on 30 May 2017.
(2) A licence issued to a person who has been allocated a lot in Category 2 or 3 as a result of the auction or for a pre-determined price will come into force on the day after payment of the balance of the winning price or full balance of the pre-determined price is made, as the case may be, or immediately upon issue if the relevant balance is zero.
(1) Section 66 of the Act requires spectrum licences to include the following core conditions:
(a) a condition specifying the part or parts of the spectrum in which operation of radiocommunications devices is authorised under the licence;
(b) a condition specifying the maximum permitted level of radio emission, in parts of the spectrum outside such a part, that may be caused by operation of radiocommunications devices under the licence;
(c) a condition specifying the area within which operation of radiocommunications devices is authorised under the licence; and
(d) a condition specifying the maximum permitted level of radio emission, outside that area, that may be caused by operation of radiocommunications devices under the licence.
(2) These conditions will be included in the spectrum licences issued in accordance with this Plan.
Note These core conditions may be varied by the ACMA, with the licensee’s agreement, under section 72 of the Act.
(1) For each spectrum licence issued to a person as a result of the auction or for a pre-determined price:
(a) the licence will be for the frequencies, or the aggregation of the frequencies, assigned to the lots allocated to the person in accordance with the allocation determination; and
(b) the geographic area of a licence will be the region described in Schedule 3 that is for the lots allocated to the person in accordance with the allocation determination.
(2) For spectrum licences mentioned in subsection 2.3 (3) of this Plan, the frequency bands and geographic areas of the licence will be determined by this Plan, unless varied.
Note The ACMA may make a separate instrument for the allocation of those licences. They may be allocated for a pre-determined price or by a second auction held under the allocation determination.
(3) The emission limits outside the area for all licences issued in accordance with this Plan will be calculated in accordance with Schedule 4.
(4) The emission limits outside the band for all licences issued in accordance with this Plan will be calculated in accordance with Schedule 5.
(1) Each spectrum licence will also include conditions about:
(a) payment of charges (section 67 of the Act);
(b) use by third parties (section 68 of the Act);
(c) registration of radiocommunications transmitters (section 69 of the Act); and
(d) residency (section 69A of the Act).
(2) Each spectrum licence issued as a result of the auction or for a pre-determined price will include a condition which will provide that where:
(a) a service is provided using the same parameters as a fixed licence listed in table 1 of Schedule 6 (a specified fixed service); and
(b) the specified fixed service uses frequencies wholly or partly within the 1800 MHz band; and
(c) the specified fixed service is provided using a radiocommunications device operated under an apparatus licence;
the licensee:
(d) must not operate any radiocommunications transmitters authorised under its licence in a manner that would be inconsistent with the protections afforded to those specified fixed services by Part 2 of the Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Managing Interference from Spectrum Licensed Transmitters – 1800 MHz Band) 2012. Part 2 specifies the level of out-of-band and in-band protection to be afforded to the specified fixed services; and
(e) cannot claim protection from interference caused by such specified fixed services.
Note 1 The sample licence includes a version of this condition.
Note 2 By operation of section 153H of the Act all fixed licences authorising the operation of the radiocommunications devices listed in table 1 of Schedule 6 are cancelled at the end of the re-allocation period. The ACMA may, however, under subsection 153P (3) of the Act, issue apparatus licences that authorise the operation of the same services that were provided under the fixed licences after the end of the re-allocation period if it is satisfied that special circumstances of the particular case justify the issuing of the licence. If the ACMA does issue any such licences wholly or partly in the 1800 MHz band under subsection 153P (3), and those licences have the same parameters as the licences listed in table 1 of Schedule 6, the spectrum licensee will not be able to establish operation of, or use, any radiocommunications devices authorised by the spectrum licence in a manner that would cause interference to the operation of radiocommunications devices authorised by those fixed licences.
(3) Under section 71 of the Act, the ACMA may also include conditions about other matters as it thinks fit.
(4) Other conditions likely to be imposed are included in the sample spectrum licence at Schedule 7.
Note The ACMA may include conditions in a spectrum licence that are not included in the sample spectrum licence.
(1) Each spectrum licence will include a condition that prohibits operation of a radiocommunications transmitter unless the requirements under Part 3.5 of the Act to have the transmitter registered have been met.
Note 1 Under subsection 145 (1) of the Act, the ACMA may refuse to include in the Register details of a radiocommunications transmitter that is proposed to be operated under a spectrum licence if the ACMA is satisfied that operation of the transmitter could cause an unacceptable level of interference to the operation of other radiocommunications devices under that or any other licence.
Note 2 Subsection 145 (4) of the Act states that the ACMA may determine, by written instrument, what are unacceptable levels of interference for the purposes of section 145 of the Act.
Note 3 The Radiocommunications (Unacceptable Levels of Interference — 1800 MHz Band) Determination 2012 sets out what are the unacceptable levels of interference for the purpose of registering radiocommunications devices to be operated under a licence issued in accordance with this Plan, and is to be used for the issue of certificates by accredited persons under subsection 145 (3) of the Act.
(2) Each spectrum licence will include a condition that states the following radiocommunications transmitters are exempt from registration:
(a) a mobile transmitter that operates in the 1800 MHz band with a radiated power of less than or equal to 39 dBm EIRP per occupied bandwidth;
(b) a fixed transmitter that operates in the 1800 MHz band with a radiated power always less than or equal to 33 dBm EIRP per occupied bandwidth.
Schedule 7 sets outa sample spectrum licence (sample spectrum licence) including conditions that may be included in each spectrum licence that is issued in a part of the spectrum referred to in the re‑allocation declaration.
Note The sample spectrum licence may not reflect the conditions included in a spectrum licence issued to a winning bidder.
The advisory guidelines provide a means of coordinating services operating under spectrum licences with other services.
This Part describes various matters that apply after spectrum licences are issued in accordance with this Plan.
The ACMA will register all spectrum licences in accordance with Part 3.5 of the Act.
Note Details about registration are in the Radiocommunications (Register of Radiocommunications Licences) Determination 1997.
A licensee may authorise other persons to operate radiocommunications devices under any spectrum licence issued to it, provided it does so in accordance with Division 1 of Part 3.2 of the Act.
A licensee may assign, or otherwise deal with, the whole or any part of a spectrum licence provided it does so in accordance with Division 5 of Part 3.2 of the Act.
The ACMA has made rules under section 88 of the Act to regulate trading in spectrum licences. Section 85 of the Act requires assignments of the whole or part of any spectrum licence to comply with these rules.
Note The rules are described in the Radiocommunications (Trading Rules for Spectrum Licences) Determination 2012.
A licensee may enter into an agreement with adjacent spectrum licensees for the purpose of one or more of the following:
(a) paragraph 1 of Schedule 4 (about emission limits outside the geographic area of the licence); or
(b) paragraph 1 of Schedule 5 (about emission limits outside the band of the licence).
As required by section 78 of the Act, the ACMA must, from time to time, cause to be published on its website notices that:
(a) state where information may be obtained about the spectrum licences that will expire during the period specified in the notice and the parts of the spectrum to which they relate (expiring spectrum licences); and
(b) invite expressions of interest from persons who wish to have issued to them spectrum licences relating to those parts of the spectrum.
(1) The ACMA must re‑issue spectrum licences in accordance with Division 4 of Part 3.2 of the Act.
(2) Spectrum licences that are re‑issued may not take the same form as originally issued as the parts of the spectrum may be divided and distributed differently. Conditions on the spectrum licences may also change. Licensees should not assume that they will be re‑issued with their existing spectrum licences.

Note The region in column 4 indicates the geographical area in which radiocommunications devices may be operated using the lot. Each region is defined by reference to its HCIS identifiers in Schedule 3.
(paragraph 3.6 (1) (b))
There are lots offered in thirteen regions. The regions are:
1) Darwin
2) North Queensland (Cairns/Townsville)
3) Central Queensland (Mackay)
4) South Queensland (Maryborough)
5) Northern New South Wales (Grafton)
6) Western New South Wales (Dubbo)
7) Canberra (including south coast of New South Wales)
8) Southern New South Wales/Riverina (Albury)
9) Regional Victoria
10) Tasmania
11) Regional South Australia
12) Regional Western Australia
13) Adelaide.
The thirteen areas are described by the HCIS identifiers specified in table 1. Each region is described using the hierarchical cell identifier scheme (HCIS) in the Australian Spectrum Map Grid 2012 (ASMG). There are four levels to the HCIS corresponding to 3 degree, 1 degree, 15 minute and 5 minute cells of the ASMG.
The geographic area of a region can be determined by the aggregation of block areas referenced by HCIS identifiers used to describe it. Refer to the ASMG for a complete description of the naming convention referred to as the HCIS, as published by the ACMA.
Note The map of the regions is included for information only. The ACMA does not accept responsibility for the accuracy of that information. Potential participants in the allocation process should obtain their own advice and make their own inquiries into the pictorial representations of the regions.

(subsection 3.6 (3) and paragraph 4.6 (a))
1. Where a written agreement specifying the maximum permitted level of radio emission exists between:
(a) the licensee; and
(b) all the affected licensees of frequency-adjacent licences and area-adjacent licences;
the licensee must comply with that specified maximum permitted level of radio emission.
2. Where there is no written agreement for the purposes of paragraph 1 in force, the licensee must comply with paragraph 3.
3. (1) The licensee must ensure that the maximum permitted level of radio emission for an area outside of the geographic area for which the licence authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices caused by operation of radiocommunications devices under the licence does not exceed a radiated maximum true mean power of 54.5 dBm EIRP per 30 kHz.
(2) The licensee complies with sub-paragraph 3(1) by ensuring that no radiocommunications device is operated under the licence in excess of a radiated maximum true mean power of 54.5 dBm EIRP per 30 kHz.
(subsection 3.6 (4) and paragraph 4.6 (b))
1. Where a written agreement specifying the maximum permitted level of radio emission exists between:
(a) the licensee; and
(b) all the affected licensees of frequency-adjacent licences and area-adjacent licences;
the licensee must comply with that specified maximum permitted level of radio emission.
2. Where there is no written agreement for the purposes of paragraph 1 in force, the licensee must comply with paragraphs 3 to 9.
Non spurious emission limits
3. (1) Subject to sub-paragraph 3(2), the licensee must ensure that radiocommunications devices operated under the licence do not exceed the non spurious emission limits in paragraphs 4 and 5.
(2) For any frequency where an emission limit described in paragraph 6 is less than an emission limit described in paragraphs 4 or 5, the emission limit in paragraph 6 applies instead of the emission limits in paragraphs 4 and 5.
4. The non spurious emission limits in table 1 apply:
(a) at frequencies outside the 1710 – 1785 MHz and 1805 – 1880 MHz frequency bands; and
(b) offset from 1785 MHz, 1805 MHz and 1880 MHz;
where:
foffset: is the frequency offset from the 1785 MHz, 1805 MHz and 1880 MHz band edges. The -3dB point of the specified bandwidth closest to the band edge being frequency offset from, is placed at foffset.
Table 1: Radiated maximum true mean power non spurious emission limits
Frequency offset range | Radiated maximum true mean power (dBm EIRP) | Specified bandwidth |
0 Hz ≤ foffset < 200 kHz | 2 | 30 kHz |
200 kHz ≤ foffset < 900 kHz | 30 kHz | |
900 kHz ≤ foffset < 5.6 MHz | -8.5 | 30 kHz |
foffset ≥ 5.6 MHz | -18.5 | 30 kHz |
5. The non spurious emission limits in tables 2a and 2b apply:
(a) at frequencies outside the 1710 – 1785 MHz frequency band; and
(b) offset from 1710 MHz;
where:
foffset: is the frequency offset from the 1710 MHz band edge. The -3dB point of the specified bandwidth closest to the band edge being frequency offset from, is placed at foffset.
Table 2a: Radiated maximum true mean power non spurious emission limits
Frequency offset range | Radiated maximum true mean power (dBm EIRP) | Specified bandwidth |
0 Hz ≤ foffset < 500 kHz | -8.5 | 30 kHz |
foffset ≥ 500 kHz | -33.5 | 30 kHz |
Table 2b: Radiated peak power non spurious emission limits
Frequency offset range | Radiated peak power (dBm EIRP) | Specified bandwidth |
0 Hz ≤ foffset < 300 kHz | 10 | 300 kHz |
6. The non spurious emission limits in table 3 apply:
(a) at frequencies outside the upper or lower frequency limits of the frequency band in which the licence authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices; and
(b) offset from the upper or lower frequency limits of the frequency band in which the licence authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices;
where:
foffset: is the frequency offset from the upper or lower frequency limits of the frequency band in which the licence authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices. The -3dB point of the specified bandwidth closest to the band edge being frequency offset from, is placed at foffset.
Table 3: Radiated maximum true mean power non spurious emission limits
Frequency offset range | Radiated maximum true mean power (dBm EIRP) | Specified bandwidth |
0 Hz ≤ foffset < 200 kHz | 21.5 | 30 kHz |
200 kHz ≤ foffset < 1 MHz | 30 kHz | |
1 MHz ≤ foffset < 5.8 MHz | -8.5 | 30 kHz |
foffset ≥ 5.8 MHz | -13 | 30 kHz |
Spurious emission limits
7. The licensee must ensure that radiocommunications devices operated under the licence do not exceed the spurious emission limits in paragraphs 8 and 9.
8. For radiocommunications transmitters operated under the licence, the spurious emission limits in table 4 apply at frequencies outside the 1710 – 1785 MHz and 1805 – 1880 MHz frequency bands.
Table 4: Radiocommunications transmitter spurious emission limits
Frequency range (f) | Radiated mean power (dBm EIRP) | Specified bandwidth |
9 kHz ≤ f < 150 kHz | -36 | 1 kHz |
150 kHz ≤ f < 30 MHz | -36 | 10 kHz |

(b) is not exempt under Statutory Condition 4 of Licence Schedule 3;
the licensee must comply with sub-conditions 7(2) and 7(3).
(2) In relation to each radiocommunications transmitter, the licensee must keep a record which includes the following information:
(a) the transmitter’s device registration number as specified in the Register;
(b) the licence number of this licence;
(c) the transmitter’s geographic location;
(d) if the licensee owns the transmitter, the licensee’s name and address;
(e) if the licensee does not own the transmitter, the owner’s name and address;
(f) the transmitter’s centre frequency;
(g) the transmitter’s emission designator;
(h) details of the transmitter’s antenna including the manufacturer, model, type, gain, polarisation, azimuth and average ground height;
(i) the transmitter’s maximum true mean power; and
(j) the transmitter’s maximum EIRP.
(3) If the ACMA requests a copy of a record kept under sub-condition 7(2), the licensee must comply with the request as soon as practicable.
Interference with specified fixed services
8. If:
(a) a service is provided using the same parameters as a fixed licence listed in table 1 of Schedule 6 to the Radiocommunications Spectrum Marketing Plan (1800 MHz Band) 2015 (a specified fixed service); and
(b) the specified fixed service uses frequencies wholly or partly within the 1800 MHz band; and
(c) the specified fixed service is provided using a radicommunications device operated under an apparatus licence;
the licensee:
(d) must not operate any radiocommunications transmitters authorised under the spectrum licence in a manner that would be inconsistent with the protections afforded to those specified fixed services by Part 2 of the Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Managing Interference from Spectrum Licensed Transmitters – 1800 MHz Band) 2012. Part 2 specifies the level of out-of-band and in-band protection to be afforded to the specified fixed services; and
(e) cannot claim protection from interference caused by such specified fixed services.
Note By operation of section 153H of the Act all fixed licences authorising the operation of the radiocommunications devices listed in table 1 of Schedule 6 are cancelled at the end of the re-allocation period. The ACMA may, however, under subsection 153P(3) of the Act, issue apparatus licences that authorise the operation of the same services that were provided under the fixed licences after the end of the re-allocation period if it is satisfied that special circumstances of the particular case justify the issuing of the licence. If the ACMA does issue any such licences wholly or partly in the 1800 MHz band under subsection 153P(3), and those licences have the same parameters as the licences listed in table 1 of Schedule 6, the spectrum licensee will not be able to establish operation of, or use, any radiocommunications devices authorised by the spectrum licence in a manner that would cause interference to the operation of radiocommunications devices authorised by those fixed licences.
Licence Schedule 5 Licence notes
Variation to licence conditions
1. The ACMA may, with the written agreement of the licensee, vary this licence by including one or more further conditions, or by revoking or varying any conditions of this licence, provided that the conditions, as varied, still comply with the requirements of Subdivision C of Division 1 of Part 3.2 of the Act.
2. The ACMA may, by written notice given to the licensee, vary this licence by including one or more further conditions (other than core conditions), or by revoking or varying any conditions (other than core conditions) of the licence, provided that the conditions as varied still comply with the requirements of Subdivision C of Division 1 of Part 3.2 of the Act.
Determination of unacceptable interference
3. The ACMA has made the Radiocommunications (Unacceptable Levels of Interference – 1800 MHz Band) Determination 2012 under subsection 145(4) of the Act that sets out the unacceptable levels of interference for the purpose of registering radiocommunications transmitters to be operated under this licence, and which is to be used for the issuing of certificates by accredited persons under subsection 145(3) of the Act.
Advisory guidelines
4. The ACMA has issued written radiocommunications advisory guidelines under section 262 of the Act about:
(a) co-ordinating the operation of radiocommunications transmitters under this licence with radiocommunications receivers operated under other licences:
(b) co-ordinating the operation of radiocommunications receivers operated under this licence with radiocommunications transmitters operated under other licences:
(c) co-ordinating the operation of high sited radiocommunications transmitters operated under this licence with radiocommunications receivers in the 1800 MHz lower band (1710 MHz – 1785 MHz) operated under other licences:
5. The advisory guidelines should be read in conjunction with the Radiocommunications (Unacceptable Levels of Interference – 1800 MHz Band) Determination 2012 (see Licence Note 3). Licensees (and accredited persons) should follow the advisory guidelines before operating radiocommunications transmitters under this licence. The ACMA will consider these guidelines during the settlement of interference disputes. Each case will be assessed on its merits. Copies of the guidelines are available from www.comlaw.gov.au and the ACMA.
Suspension and cancellation of spectrum licences
6. The ACMA may by written notice given to a licensee, suspend or cancel a spectrum licence in accordance with Division 3 of Part 3.2 of the Act.
Re-issue of spectrum licences
7. A spectrum licence will not be re-issued to the same licensee without a price based allocation procedure unless:
(a) the ACMA is satisfied under subsection 82(1) of the Act that special circumstances exist as a result of which it would in the public interest for that licensee to continue to hold that licence; or
(b) the licence was used to provide a service of a kind determined by the Minister under subsection 82(3) of the Act for which re-issuing licences to the same licensees would be in the public interest.
Trading
8. (1) A licensee may assign or otherwise deal with the whole or any part of a spectrum licence provided that this is done in accordance with any rules determined by the ACMA under section 88 of the Act.
(2) An assignment under section 85 of the Act of the whole or any part of a licence that involves any change to a licence does not take effect until the Register in respect of spectrum licences has been amended to take it into account.
Appeals
9. An application may be made to the ACMA for reconsideration of a decision of a kind listed in section 285 of the Act. A person affected by and dissatisfied with an ACMA decision may seek a reconsideration of the decision by the ACMA under subsection 288(1) of the Act. This decision can be subject to further review by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, subject to the provisions of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975.
Labelling of transmitters
10. Licensees should affix identification labels containing the name and address of the licensee on all fixed transmitters operated under this licence.
Note An example of an identification label would be one containing the following statement: “This device is the property of ‘name’”.
