Following the 2004 revision of the Australian Communication Industry Forum (ACIF) Code, the MCF developed Guidelines for Local Government – ACIF Code in January 2006.
The guidelines were produced by Adelaide based independent town planning consultants Urban and Regional Planning Solutions (URPS), drawing upon advice and feedback from a working party including Planning Managers and officers from more than 20 Councils across Australia.
These guidelines will better facilitate your involvement in the deployment of telecommunications facilities by assisting you in understanding the ACIF Code and showing you how to participate in the ACIF processes. Its introduction has provided Councils with many opportunities which include;
· ACIF Code Checklists to assist Councils to review information received from Carriers and
guide Councils through the different ACIF Code processes
· Pro-forma response letters to assist Councils to respond to and participate
in the ACIF Code process;
· FAQs to answer frequently asked questions about a range of issues associated with
telecommunications deployment;
· Definitions and abbreviations to assist Councils to understand these guidelines, and
· Sources of information and contact details to provide a range of sources for Councils
and the wider community to gather information.
