Proposal to vary the Darwin television licence area plan

We would like to make changes to the technical specs for television services in the Darwin area. We propose to consolidate the 3 commercial Darwin services onto 2 multiplex transmitters.

Closing in 22 days - 13 November 2026

Key documents

The issue

We want to vary the Darwin television licence area plan (TLAP). This will involve:

  • Amending the specifications for 2 sets of television channels. These will each be allotted to 2 licensees, instead of the existing arrangement of one set of channels for a single licensee.
  • Amending the specifications of the third set of television channels to state that they are not allotted to any licensee.
  • Making other minor amendments to the Darwin TLAP.

You can find the full details in the consultation paper and draft instrument in the key documents box above.
