I know how to do it, I'm just trying to figure out whether it is required. (What the rules say, not whether it is a good idea... which in the case of Avalon it obviously is.)
Opinions might vary though depending on whether you're transiting Avalon at 3500 or passing Shepparton at 9500.
I dug out an old AIP and that had the same wording, so it's not a recent change like I thought it might be.
