        Note 1: 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.

        Note 2: After the commencement of the Radiocommunications Spectrum Marketing Plan (1800 MHz) Variation 2017 (No. 1), this Plan does not deal with the part of the 1800 MHz band defined as the 1800 MHz (unallocated lots) band in the Radiocommunications Spectrum Marketing Plan (1800 MHz unallocated lots band) 2017. The Radiocommunications Spectrum Marketing Plan (1800 MHz unallocated lots band) 2017 deals with the 1800 MHz (unallocated lots) band.

Schedule 3 Regions
         (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)

    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.
