A facility installation permit is a written instrument issued by the ACMA to a licensed carrier, providing authorisation for that carrier to proceed with installation of one or more specified telecommunications facilities in circumstances where it has not obtained all the administrative authority and proprietor approvals required under relevant state and territory legislation.
The ACMA is empowered to issue such permits on a case-by-case basis under Division 6 of Part 1 of Schedule 3 to the Telecommunications Act 1997 (the Act).
Carriers seeking to apply to the ACMA for a facility installation permit should refer to this information and read the guide and application form below.
