Proposal to vary the Wangaratta licence area plan

On 8 May, we made the Variation to Licence Area Plan – Wangaratta Radio – 2025 (No. 1).

This involves making variations to radio broadcasting services in the Wangaratta RA1 licence area to enable the 3NE service to convert from AM to FM and to add 4 new FM infill transmitters in the area.

The proposed change to the technical specification for the 3NNN Wangaratta FM commercial radio transmitter will not proceed, with agreement from the broadcaster.

We received 3 submissions to the consultation. These are available at the bottom of this page.

We want to vary the Wangaratta licence area plan (LAP). This will involve:

• Enabling the 3NE commercial radio broadcasting service in Wangaratta to convert from AM to FM.
• Making 4 new FM infill transmitters for the 3NE commercial radio broadcasting service in the Wangaratta RA1 licence area.
• Varying the technical specifications of the 3NNN Wangaratta FM commercial radio transmitter. This will mean it can co-locate with the proposed new 3NE FM transmitter.
• Varying the technical specification of the 3NNN Bright FM commercial radio transmitter to allow the AM to FM conversion of the 3NE Wangaratta transmitter.
• Making other minor amendments to the Wangaratta LAP.
