Overview

The Licence Area Plan Narrogin (Radio) - October 1996 Determination was made by the Australian Broadcasting Authority under subsection 26(1) of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992. This legislative instrument aims to provide for broadcasting services in the Narrogin area of Western Australia. The determination outlines the availability of two commercial radio broadcasting services and one community radio broadcasting service, detailing their technical specifications and the areas they will serve. These plans are essential for ensuring efficient and effective radio broadcasting within the specified regions. The Australian Broadcasting Authority, acting on behalf of the Commonwealth, created this plan to address the need for structured and regulated radio broadcasting services in the Narrogin area, thereby ensuring compliance with broadcasting standards and community needs.

Scope and Application

The Licence Area Plan Narrogin (Radio) October 1996 Determination, issued under the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 by the Australian Broadcasting Authority, outlines the specifications and technical details for the provision of radio broadcasting services in the Narrogin area of Western Australia. This determination applies to broadcasting entities and individuals operating within the specified licence area, which includes both the town of Narrogin and its surrounding shires. The Act provides for the availability of two commercial radio broadcasting services and one community radio broadcasting service, with detailed technical specifications and transmitter locations provided in the accompanying schedules and attachments. The geographic reach of this legislation is limited to the defined areas within the Narrogin licence area, which is delineated by Australian Bureau of Statistics data from the 1991 census. This determination does not include any stated exclusions or exemptions, and its application is not extended or restricted by any subordinate instruments.

Key Provisions

The main sections of the Licence Area Plan Narrogin (Radio) Determination detail the broadcasting services that will be available in the Narrogin area of Western Australia. According to Section 1, two commercial radio services (SL010399 and SL010079) will operate in the area, with their technical specifications outlined in Schedule One and Attachments 1.2 and 1.3. Additionally, Section 2 introduces a community radio service (SL010084) to be available in the town of Narrogin and its environs, with details in Schedule Two and Attachment 2.2. The Schedules list the category of each service, the service licence number, the number of transmitters, the transmitter specification number, the technical specifications, and the general area served by each transmitter. The Licence Area Plan Narrogin (Radio) Determination imposes specific obligations on the entities operating the radio services. The commercial radio services must adhere to the technical specifications outlined in Attachments 1.2 and 1.3, including transmitter locations, frequency bands, and maximum carrier and modulation frequencies. Similarly, the community radio service must comply with the technical specifications in Attachment 2.2. Each service must ensure that their transmission patterns and technical parameters do not exceed the specified limits to maintain the integrity of the broadcasting services in the area. Failure to comply with the requirements set out in the Licence Area Plan Narrogin (Radio) Determination can result in legal consequences. While the document does not explicitly state penalties for non-compliance, breaches of broadcasting regulations can typically lead to enforcement actions by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). This may include fines, suspension, or revocation of the service licence. The exact penalties depend on the severity and nature of the breach, with potential civil or criminal consequences for significant or repeated violations.
