Definitions
In this Plan:
ACMA means the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
Act means the Broadcasting Services Act 1992.
commercial television broadcasting licensee means the licensee of a commercial television broadcasting licence.
ERP means effective radiated power.
national television broadcasting service has the same meaning as in clause 2 of Schedule 4 to the Act.
Spencer Gulf TV1 licence area means the area described in Attachment 1.
television broadcasting service has the same meaning as in section 26 of the Act.
transmitter licence has the same meaning as in section 5 of the Radiocommunications Act 1992.
Note Terms and expressions used in this Plan have the meaning given by section 6 of the Act. For example:

Specification of channels to be available in particular areas within the Spencer Gulf TV1 licence area
(1)Subject to subsection (2), each channel specified in column 1 of an item in a table in a Schedule to this Plan is available, in the area in column 7, to provide television broadcasting services.
(2)If a date is specified in column 3 of an item in a table in a Schedule to this Plan, the channel specified in column 1 of the item is not available in the area in column 7 to provide television broadcasting services after that date.
Note 1 A channel may be specified to be available only for a limited period in order to allow a broadcaster to swap channels on which it transmits services.
Note 2 Although a channel is specified to be available for all parts of a licence area, a particular broadcaster may only be authorised to use that channel in one part of a licence area.
Example Channel 28 may be specified to be available for all parts of a licence area. Channel 28 may be allotted to Broadcaster A and Broadcaster B. The ACMA may issue a transmitter licence for the use of channel 28 to Broadcaster A in one part of the licence area (Part A), and issue a transmitter licence for the use of a different channel to the same broadcaster in another part of the licence area (Part B). The ACMA may issue a transmitter licence for the use of channel 28 to Broadcaster B in Part B. Broadcaster A will not be entitled to transmit on channel 28 in Part B, as the broadcaster will not have a transmitter licence authorising such a transmission.
Allotment of channels to commercial television broadcasting licensees – Schedule 1
Allotment of channels to commercial television broadcasting licensees
(1)Each channel specified in column 1 of an item in a table in Schedule 1 is allotted to the commercial television broadcasting licensee of the licence specified for the table for use in the area in column 7, from the date (if any) specified in column 2 until the date (if any) specified in column 3.
(2)If no date is specified in column 2 for an item in a table in Schedule 1, the ACMA may allot the channel specified in column 1 of the item to the commercial television broadcasting licensee of the licence specified for the table.
(3)If no licensee is specified for a table in Schedule 1, the ACMA may allot the channel specified in column 1 of an item in the table to the commercial television broadcasting licensee of a commercial television broadcasting licence for the licence area specified for the table, for use in the area in column 7.
Note If the ACMA has not allotted a channel specified in the table, the ACMA may make the channel available for use in an area by a commercial television broadcasting licensee, a national broadcaster or any other person by making a determination under section 34 of the Act and issuing a licence under section 100 of the Radiocommunications Act 1992.

Because of this, the first broadcaster can only use channel 8 in Part A of the licence area, and the second broadcaster can only use channel 8 in Part B of the licence area.
