The Australian Radiocommunications Act requires the ACMA to issue, and keep updated, a national radiofrequency spectrum plan.  This plan is based on the similar International plan contained in the ITU Radio Regulations, making choices about options where required. In parts of the spectrum where more detail is needed the ACMA issues statutory (or sometimes informal) band plans that show particular channel arrangements for assigning individual services. The legislation requires the ACMA to issue a licence to a request that is in accord with its statutory spectrum plan, unless to do so would cause harmful interference to another licensed service

The legislation also provides a means for the ACMA to sell radio spectrum in the form of 15 year 'spectrum licences', but requires the ACMA to use a price-based competitive method when it chooses that option
