Vicinity of controlled aerodromes

Hi there, was wondering if anyone could help me with this question.
There is a question in one of the Bob Tait books that says something along the lines of “When operating within 5nm of the boundary of a class D airport and not intending to enter the class D control zone, what should you do”. The answer is listen to the ATIS and maintain a listening watch on the class D tower frequency.
So my question is, I understand the vicinity of a non-controlled aerodrome is within 10nm (plus the non conflicting height stuff etc), what is classified as being in the vicinity of a controlled aerodrome? And where would you find the reference for this in the AIP/CASR/ERSA?
The reference for maintaining a listening watch and ATIS would also be helpful if you had the time. Thanks in advance

G'day
What is being asked here is not so much the vicinity of the aerodrome but the Airspace, as such the advice is for aircraft departing Class D and being on a different frequency to Class G.
