VARIATION TO LICENCE AREA PLAN – MOUNT GAMBIER RADIO – NOVEMBER 2003

VARIATION

The Australian Broadcasting Authority hereby varies the licence area plan (LAP) for radio in the Mount Gambier region of South Australia, determined in December 2001 and varied in November 2002, under subsection 26(2) of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992.

The  variation comprises a change to the special conditions on the technical specifications as set out below:

The ABA determines that the licence areas of the existing commercial and community

radio services in Mt Gambier and the Millicent community radio service be redefined using 2001 Census boundaries, but otherwise remain unchanged.

The licence area descriptions of these services are at Attachments 1.1.1, 2.1.1 and 3.1.1.

(Determined by the Australian Broadcasting Authority on 6 November 2003)

 
SCHEDULES
 

• Each of the Schedules sets out:
• the category of each of the services that are to be available in that area (column one).
• the status of the service (column two) does not form part of the licence area plan decision and is included for reference only.
• the frequency for each transmitter (column three) does not form part of the licence area plan decision and is included for reference only.
• the service licence number which has been allocated to the service, if appropriate (column four);  N/A = Not Applicable, as the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 only requires service licences for Commercial and Community services.
• the transmitter specification number which has been allocated to each transmitter (column five),
• the identifying number of the attachment where the technical specifications for each transmitter are described (column six).  (Each set of technical specifications referred to in the Schedules is an attachment to this determination).
• the general area served by each transmitter (column seven).
