The information includes commencement details for amending laws and details of any application, saving or transitional provisions that are not included in this compilation.\n\nEndnote 4 (Amendment history) provides information about the amendments at the provision (generally section or equivalent) level and includes information about any provision of the compiled law that has been repealed in accordance with a provision of the law.\n\nIt also includes information about any misdescribed amendment (that is, an amendment that does not accurately describe the amendment to be made). If, despite the misdescription, the amendment can be given effect as intended, the amendment is incorporated into the compiled law and the abbreviation “(md)” added to the details of the amendment included in the amendment history. If a misdescribed amendment cannot be given effect as intended, the abbreviation “(md not incorp)” is added to the details of the amendment included in the amendment history.\n\nEndnote 2—Abbreviation key\n\n| ad = added or inserted                        |     |\n| --------------------------------------------- | --- |\n| am = amended                                  |     |\n| rep. = repealedrs. = repealed and substituted |     |\n\nEndnote 3—Legislation history\n\n| Name                                                                                                     | Date of notificationin Gazette or registration | Date of commencement | Application, saving or transitional provisions |\n| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |\n| Licence Area Plan – Bundaberg Radio – February 1998                                                      | 18 February 1998 (F2005B00743)                 | 19 February 1998     |                                                |\n| Variation to Licence Area Plan – Bundaberg Radio – No.1 of 2011                                          | 21 March 2011(F2011L00453)                     | 22 March 2011        | -                                              |\n| Broadcasting Services (Technical Planning) Guidelines (Consequential Amendments) Instrument 2017 (No. 1) | 29 September 2017(F2017L01299)                 | 30 September 2017    | -                                              |\n| Variation to Licence Area Plan – Bundaberg Radio 2019 (No.1)                                             | 26 September 2019(F2019L01272)                 | 27 September 2019    |                                                |","sortOrder":0}],"analysis":{"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The materials shown are endnotes and an amendment log.

The LAP ensures orderly use of the radio spectrum and guarantees that regional areas like Bundaberg receive appropriate radio services.\n\n**What this specific document shows:**\nThis is not the substantive technical content itself, but rather the **endnotes section** of a compiled version. It tracks the history of changes made to the Bundaberg Radio LAP since 1998, including variations made in 2011, 2017, and 2019."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-bundaberg-radio","history":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-bundaberg-radio/history","analysis":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-bundaberg-radio/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-bundaberg-radio/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-bundaberg-radio/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-bundaberg-radio/documents"}}
