They've used that for many years.
(1)CASA may:
(a) designate an aerodrome as an aerodrome at which broadcast requirements apply; and
(b) designate airspace within defined horizontal and vertical limits as an area in which broadcast requirements apply.
(3)CASA may give directions specifying:
(a) the broadcast requirements that apply; and
(b) the radio frequency on which broadcasts must be made;
at a particular aerodrome, or in a particular area, designated under subregulation (1).
(4)If CASA gives a direction, it must publish a notice setting out the details of the direction in AIP or NOTAMS.
