It defines the geographic area (the 'licence area') where a particular radio station is licensed to broadcast, and sets out technical parameters like transmitter power and frequency to prevent radio stations from interfering with each other.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- **Radio broadcasters** operating in or near Maryborough — they must comply with the technical specifications in this plan\n- **Local residents and businesses** — the plan determines which radio services they can receive and ensures quality reception without interference\n- **Anyone applying for a new radio licence** in the region — they must work within the constraints of this plan\n\n**Why it matters:**\nWithout these plans, radio stations could broadcast on overlapping frequencies, causing static, cross-talk, or dead zones. The LAP ensures orderly use of the limited radio spectrum (the range of frequencies available for broadcasting) so that communities get reliable radio services.\n\n**What this specific document shows:**\nThis is just the **endnotes section** of the compiled plan — the technical 'metadata' that explains how the document has been updated over time. It shows abbreviations used to track changes (like 'ad' for added, 'am' for amended) and explains how amendments are recorded. The actual technical content (maps, frequencies, power limits) would appear in the main body of the plan, not in these endnotes."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-maryborough-radio-february-1998","history":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-maryborough-radio-february-1998/history","analysis":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-maryborough-radio-february-1998/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-maryborough-radio-february-1998/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-maryborough-radio-february-1998/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-maryborough-radio-february-1998/documents"}}
