see subsection (3).
FM band means the part of the spectrum from 87.5 MHz to 108 MHz.
harmonised government spectrum area licence means a land mobile licence that authorises a person to operate a radiocommunications transmitter both:
 (a) in:
 (i) every part of one State (other than Western Australia) or one internal Territory; or
 (ii) every part of Western Australia, or every part of Western Australia other than the RQZ; and
 (b) on every frequency in one or more of the following frequency bands:
 (i) 412.46875 MHz to 413.43125 MHz;
 (ii) 414.46875 MHz to 415.44375 MHz;
 (iii) 415.44375 MHz to 415.56875 MHz;
 (iv) 418.49375 MHz to 420 MHz;

HCIS area for a Part 9 licence means the area that comprises:
 (a) if the licence specifies one or more Level 1 HCIS blocks that are within one Level 2 HCIS block – that Level 2 HCIS block;
 (b) if the licence specifies 2 or more Level 1 HCIS blocks, and there are 2 or more Level 2 HCIS blocks within which those Level 1 HCIS blocks are located – those Level 2 HCIS blocks;
 (c) if the licence does not specify any Level 1 HCIS blocks – each Level 2 HCIS block within which a radiocommunications transmitter authorised by the licence is either:
 (i) located; or
 (ii) permitted to be located.
Note 1: A Part 9 licence will generally, in the licence conditions, specify the Level 1 or Level 2 HCIS blocks within which operation of a radiocommunications transmitter is authorised.
Note 2: If none of paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) is capable of applying to a Part 9 licence, there is no HCIS area for the Part 9 licence. This may be the case for a small number of Part 9 licences which authorise the operation of radiocommunications transmitters outside the area covered by the ASMG, but which are part of Australia (such as some parts of the Torres Strait).
                      Example for paragraph (b): If a Part 9 licence specifies the Level 1 HCIS blocks BV4D7, BV4D8, BV4D9, BV4H1, BV4H2 and BV4H3, then the HCIS area for the Part 9 licence is the area that comprises the Level 2 HCIS blocks BV4D and BV4H.
HCIS block means:
 (a) a Level 1 HCIS block; or
 (b) a grouping of Level 1 HCIS blocks, identified by a unique HCIS identifier.
Note: In the ASMG, HCIS blocks are identified by the terms HCIS Levels 1, 2, 3 and 4.
HCIS cell means a division of a Level 1 HCIS block, identified by a unique HCIS identifier.
