Key documents

The issue

This consultation involves the 4 instruments below. You can find full details, including the reasoning for our proposals, in the consultation paper. 

The Radiocommunications Licence Conditions (Major Coast Receive) Determination 2015 is due to sunset on 1 October 2025. We believe it is no longer needed and want to let it sunset. 

The Radiocommunications Licence Conditions (Maritime Coast Licence) Determination 2015 is due to sunset on 1 October 2025. We believe the instrument is still needed and should be remade with minor changes.

The Radiocommunications (Maritime Ship Station – 27 MHz and VHF) Class Licence 2015 is due to sunset on 1 October 2025. We believe the instrument is still needed and should be remade with minor changes.

The Radiocommunications – Maritime Omnibus Variation 2019 (No.1) amended 4 instruments related to the VHF component of the maritime mobile band. We believe it is no longer needed and want to revoke it.
