The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) has provided comments on the draft of the ACMA Five-Year Spectrum Outlook 2022-27 and the work program for 2022-23. The CBAA supports the ACMA's proposed consultation on variations to remote area radio licenses and AM to FM conversions. They suggest specific locations and priorities for Digital Radio Channel Plan (DRCP) consultation and request consideration of deeming issues for community radio in these areas. The CBAA also discusses the need for improved digital radio coverage in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, re-planning analogue radio services in Perth and Adelaide, and more community digital radio services in these areas. They express support for small-scale trials of DAB+ technology in Sydney and emphasize the importance of free-to-air broadcasting and its core characteristics.
