Well,

I for one hope they bring in the 27Mhz freq for CB. Should have been done 
years ago. 5Km for repeaters definitely and we will have to go 80ch on UHF 
as the Ozzies are going to.

> Consultation paper: Changes to citizen band radio services
>
> The Ministry is seeking feedback on changes proposed to the
> General User Licence for Citizen Band (CB) Radio.
>
>    * The changes proposed include:
>      the doubling of the number of channels available in
> UHF public radio services by reducing the PRS channel
> bandwidth from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz
>    * reducing the spacing permitted between PRS repeaters
> from 20 kilometre to five kilometre to allow greater use of
> repeater facilities
>    * introducing additional spectrum for CB services in the
> 27 MHz band that is harmonised with the frequencies
> allocated for CB in Australia.
>
> The proposals make no changes to the existing provisions for
> the 26 MHz CB band or the use of 25 kHz UHF equipment in the
> UHF personal radio service band.
>
> The proposed changes will be of particular interest to CB
> operators and equipment suppliers, and the users of local
> area paging services in the 26.95 MHz to 27.3 MHz band.
