If there's a dispute about a licence granted in 2015, for example, these notes show you'd need to look at the 2010 version of the plan, not the original 1998 version or the later 2018 updates."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-coffs-harbour-radio","history":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-coffs-harbour-radio/history","analysis":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-coffs-harbour-radio/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-coffs-harbour-radio/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-coffs-harbour-radio/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-coffs-harbour-radio/documents"}}
