Key documents

The issue

The Broadcasting (Charges) Determination 2017 establishes charges for specified broadcasting-related regulatory activities undertaken by the ACMA. 

The determination is due to sunset on 1 April 2027. We consider that it:

  • is operating effectively and efficiently
  • remains a necessary and useful part of the legislative framework. 

We propose to remake the instrument as the Broadcasting (Charges) Determination 2027, without significant changes. The proposed amendments are limited to:

  • removing obsolete transitional provisions
  • making minor administrative, formatting and drafting updates. 

No changes to the existing charges are proposed. 

Full details are set out in the consultation paper found in the key documents section above.
