The issue

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

  • Making spectrum available for the 3WM commercial radio broadcasting service in Horsham RA1, so it can broadcast on FM transmission.
  • Varying the technical specifications for the existing FM infill transmitter serving Ararat for the 3WM commercial radio broadcasting service in the Horsham RA1 licence area. This includes an increase in power and decrease in maximum antenna height.
  • Making spectrum available for a new FM infill transmitter for the 3WM commercial radio broadcasting service in the Horsham RA1 licence area to serve Edenhope.
  • Making spectrum available for a new FM infill transmitter for the 3WWM commercial radio broadcasting service in the Horsham RA1 licence area to serve Edenhope.
  • Varying the technical specifications for the existing 3HHH community radio broadcasting service in the Horsham RA2 licence area, changing its frequency from 96.5 MHz to 106.3 MHz, to enable the 96.7 MHz frequency to be used for the proposed 3WM FM transmission.
  • Making other minor amendments to the Horsham LAP.

You can find the full details in the consultation paper and draft instrument in the key documents box above.
