Under subsection 26(2) of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, the Australian Broadcasting Authority hereby varies the licence area plan (LAP) for radio in the Innisfail region of Queensland, as determined in November 1997 and varied in October 1998.

The variation comprises an update of the licence area of the commercial radio broadcasting services designated by the service licence numbers SL4177 and SL10319 and the addition and deletion of technical specifications of services as set out below:

The ABA determined that the licence area of the existing commercial radio service be redefined using 2001 Census boundaries, but otherwise remain unchanged.

The updated licence area for the commercial radio services is set out at Attachment 1.1.1.

(Determined by the Australian Broadcasting Authority on 31 July 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 frequency for each transmitter (column two) 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 three);  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 four);

• the identifying number of the attachment where the technical specifications for each transmitter are described (column five).  (Each set of technical specifications referred to in the Schedules is an attachment to this determination); and

• the general area served by each transmitter (column six).

Frequency Column

• the frequency shown is the centre frequency of the channel.

The information in the frequency column is provided as additional information to the licence area plan and is accurate as at the time of publication.

For ease of reference, the Schedules affected by this variation to the LAP have been updated to reflect the variation to the plan.
