VARIATION TO LICENCE AREA PLAN – COOMA – NOVEMBER 2003

VARIATION



The Australian Broadcasting Authority herby varies the licence area plan (LAP) for radio in the Cooma region of NSW, determined in June 1999, under subsection 26(2) of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992.

The variation makes a number of changes to the Cooma LAP, as set out below:



Service Category Service Licence No Technical Specification No Frequency Attach No Area Served Status
Commercial SL4138 TS10008425 92.5 MHz 1.11 Bombala Vary
Commercial SL10345 TS10008266  91.7 MHz 1.19 Bombala Vary
Community SL1150162 TS10013018 103.7 MHz 2.5 Bombala Add
Open Narrowcasting N/A TS10008254 90.9 MHz 1.26 Bombala Delete
Open Narrowcasting N/A TS10012792 104.5 MHz 1.26.1 Bombala Add

The licence area of the existing commercial radio services has been redefined using 2001 Census boundaries, but otherwise remains unchanged.
