ACMA may impose additional conditions on community broadcasting licences
87 ACMA may impose additional conditions on community broadcasting licences
The ACMA may, by notice in writing given to a community broadcasting licensee, vary or revoke a condition of the licence or impose an additional condition on the licence.
If the ACMA proposes to vary or revoke a condition or to impose a new condition, the ACMA must give to the licensee:
written notice of its intention; and
a reasonable opportunity to make representations to the ACMA in relation to the proposed action; and
publish the proposed changes in the Gazette.
This section does not allow the ACMA to vary or revoke a condition set out in Part 5 of Schedule 2.
If the ACMA varies or revokes a condition or imposes a new condition, the ACMA must publish the variation, the fact of the revocation or the new condition, as the case may be, in the Gazette.
Action taken under subsection (1) must not be inconsistent with:
determinations and clarifications under section 19; or
conditions set out in Part 5 of Schedule 2; or
if the licence is a CTV licence—any conditions imposed on the licence by or under section 87A.
