VARIATION TO LICENCE AREA PLAN – COOMA – SEPTEMBER 2004

VARIATION

The Australian Broadcasting Authority herby varies the licence area plan (LAP) for radio in the Cooma region of NSW, determined in June 1999 and varied in November 2003, under subsection 26(2) of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992.

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

Service Category	Service Licence No	Technical Specification No	Frequency	Attach No	Area Served	Status
Commercial	SL10345	TS10008326	90.3 MHz	1.20	Cabramurra	Vary
Open Narrowcasting	N/A	TS10013462	94.3 MHz	1.26	Perisher	Add

(Varied by the Australian Broadcasting Authority on 23 September 2004)

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).
