Updating the spectrum plan

We varied the Australian Radiofrequency Spectrum Plan with the Australian Radiofrequency Spectrum Plan Variation 2025 (No. 1) on 2 October 2025. Our response to the main issues raised in submissions is outlined in the 'Summary and response to submissions' document above. 

We have now published the submissions we received to this consultation. You can access these below. 

We want to update the Australian Radiofrequency Spectrum Plan. This will reflect changes to international regulations made at the World Radiocommunication Conference 2023 (WRC-23). 

We have also proposed changes to address domestic planning matters. This includes suggesting permanent updates to regularise decisions made under subsection 10(10) of the spectrum plan.

You can find a draft variation, along with marked-up spectrum plan and preamble in the key documents box above.
