"Keeping Your Rights to Manage Certain Radio Frequencies"

Illustration for Radiocommunications Act 1989

You have rights to some frequencies. These are the frequencies listed in the Schedule 5. If you are already managing one of these frequencies, you can be registered as the manager. This means you get to keep managing the frequency. You might have been given a certain amount of time to manage a frequency. If this time is less than 20 years, it will be changed to 20 years. The Registrar will update the records to show this new time. This applies to frequencies that are within certain ranges, as shown in the Schedule 5. It also applies if you were given management rights under section 10(2). The Registrar will make sure the records are correct.
