licences
      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.

4.5 Trading rules
      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.

4.6 Agreements about emission limits
       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).

4.7 Spectrum licences that are about to expire
       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.

4.8 Re‑issue of spectrum licences
       (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.
