Overview

The Broadcasting Services Act 1992 was enacted to regulate the broadcasting services industry in Australia, ensuring compliance with national broadcasting standards and providing a framework for the allocation of broadcasting services. The Act was introduced to address the need for a cohesive legislative framework governing radio and television broadcasting in Australia, including the establishment of licensing systems and the regulation of content. The Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA), now known as the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), was established under this Act to administer and enforce the provisions. The policy objective of the Act is to ensure that broadcasting services are provided in a manner that is consistent with the public interest, including the promotion of diversity and choice in broadcasting content. The Act facilitates the variation of licence area plans to accommodate new services and changing community needs, as exemplified by the 2004 variation to the Kingaroy radio licence area plan to include a new community radio service in Yarraman.

Scope and Application

The Variation to Licence Area Plan for Kingaroy Radio (Queensland) issued by the Australian Broadcasting Authority in April 2004 applies to the radio broadcasting services within the defined licence areas of Kingaroy, Yarraman, Cherbourg, Gayndah, and Wondai in Queensland. The purpose of the variation is to add a new community radio service in Yarraman. The licence area plan variation is determined under subsection 26(2) of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 and redefines the licence areas of existing community radio services using the 2001 Census boundaries. The variation does not affect commercial radio services, and the technical specifications for each transmitter, including the frequency, are included for reference only. The updated licence area plan applies to the specified service categories, frequencies, and areas served, as outlined in the attached schedules. The variation does not extend or restrict application through subordinate instruments and operates within the jurisdictional reach of the Commonwealth of Australia.

Key Provisions

The Australian Broadcasting Authority has made a variation to the licence area plan for radio in the Kingaroy region of Queensland, effective under subsection 26(2) of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 (sections 26 and 26(2)). This variation adds a new community radio service in Yarraman with specific details outlined in the document. The existing community radio services' licence areas have been redefined using 2001 Census boundaries, but remain otherwise unchanged. This legislation imposes obligations on the Australian Broadcasting Authority to determine and adjust the licence area plans for radio services in specified regions. The obligations include redefining licence areas based on updated census data and ensuring that the technical specifications and service categories for each radio service are accurately documented and communicated. The entities governed by this Act, including radio service providers, are required to comply with the specified licence areas and technical requirements outlined in the updated licence area plans. Breaches of the provisions outlined in this variation could lead to enforcement actions under the Broadcasting Services Act 1992. While specific offences and penalties are not detailed in this document, non-compliance with licence area plans and technical specifications could result in sanctions such as fines or the revocation of broadcasting licences. The maximum penalties for such offences would be determined according to the relevant provisions of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 and any applicable regulations or guidelines.
