CBAA Submissions

Spectrum is essential to today's digitally-networked economy and is a major contributor to Australia's economic and social wellbeing. Management of spectrum is legislated under the Radiocommunications Act 1992 (the Act). In October 2019, the Government committed to progressing a set of targeted amendments which will update and streamline the Act. On the 24 June 2020 consultation opened on a draft bill package which included targeted amendments focussed on removing existing unnecessary prescription and legislative barriers. The CBAA  submission provides high-level comments on the effects of the Bill on community broadcasting, as well as points regarding studio-to-transmitter linking, digital radio, digital television and broadcasting and online delivery.
