CBAA Submissions

On 25 July 2019 the Assistant Minister for Children and Families, Hon Michelle Landry MP, asked the Committee to inquire into and report on matters affecting Regional Australia. In November 2019, the CBAA made a submission outlining the contribution of community radio to regional Australia (by enabling community participation, overcoming social isolation, providing local news and information, contributing to national identity, supporting music and arts, and providing emergency broadcasts); the operating challenges faced by community radio in regional Australia; and what better support might enable regional broadcasters to best serve their communities.
