Outcome

We received one submission, suggesting minor updates. You can access this below.

After considering the submission, we decided to make the Radiocommunications (Aircraft and Aeronautical Mobile Stations) Class Licence 2026 with minor updates.

We thank all those involved in the consultation process. 

Previous consultation: The issue

The Radiocommunications (Aircraft and Aeronautical Mobile Stations) Class Licence 2016 is due to sunset on 1 October 2026. 

The class licence authorises the operation of aircraft stations and aeronautical mobile stations that operate on shared frequencies.

We believe that the class licence is operating effectively and efficiently. We propose to revoke it and remake it with only minor changes.  

Details of the proposal are in the consultation paper in the key documents box above. A copy of the draft Radiocommunications (Aircraft and Aeronautical Mobile Stations) Class Licence 2026 and the notice required under subsection 136(2) of the Radiocommunications Act 1992 are also available.  

A Gazette notice about the revocation of the class licence is available on the Federal Register of Legislation.
