It is a technical planning document made under the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 that decides what types of radio services can operate in the Bendigo area and where.\n\n**What it does:**\n- **Allocates radio spectrum** (the \"broadcasting services bands\") to different types of radio stations in specific geographic areas around Bendigo\n- Sets out **technical specifications** for each service in attached schedules\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- **Radio broadcasters** wanting to operate in Bendigo (commercial, community, and national broadcasters)\n- **The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA)**, which issues licences based on this plan\n- **Listeners** in Bendigo, as it determines what radio services are available\n\n**Types of services covered:**\n- **National radio** (4 services) – ABC and SBS stations\n- **Commercial radio** (3 services total) – advertising-funded stations like Triple M or Gold FM\n- **Community radio** (9 services) – non-profit, volunteer-run stations serving specific communities\n- **Open narrowcasting** (1 service) – limited coverage specialist services\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis plan prevents radio stations from interfering with each other by controlling who can broadcast on which frequencies in which locations. Without it, radio signals would overlap and create chaos. It ensures Bendigo residents have access to a mix of public, commercial, and community radio services.\n\n**Key feature:** The actual technical details (frequencies, power levels, coverage maps) are in separate **Attachments and Schedules** referenced throughout the document but not included in this excerpt."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-bendigo-radio","history":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-bendigo-radio/history","analysis":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-bendigo-radio/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-bendigo-radio/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-bendigo-radio/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-bendigo-radio/documents"}}
