For example, you can see that Attachments 1.15 through 1.21 were repealed (removed) over time, while others were added or rewritten in 2017.\n\n**Who uses this:**\n- Radio stations applying for licences in Karratha\n- Lawyers checking which version of a rule was in force at a specific date\n- The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), which manages broadcasting technical standards"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-karratha-radio","history":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-karratha-radio/history","analysis":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-karratha-radio/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-karratha-radio/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-karratha-radio/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-karratha-radio/documents"}}
