The amendments shown in the endnotes (2008, 2015, 2020, 2021) appear to be technical updates to frequencies, specifications, and licence categories rather than expansion into new policy areas. The scope has not grown beyond radiocommunications frequency planning."},"complexity_factors":["Highly technical content with extensive engineering specifications (frequencies, ERP values, depression angles, bearings)","Multiple cross-referenced tables and attachments (3 multiplexes with detailed technical attachments)","Relies on external technical planning guidelines referenced but not included ('Refer to technical planning guidelines')","Uses specialised radiocommunications terminology (multiplex, ERP, VHF, DAB, GDA 94)","Structured as a 'plan' under the Radiocommunications Act with specific statutory format requirements","Contains HTML table markup in the source text indicating complex formatting","Multiple amendments over time (2008, 2015, 2020, 2021) creating version complexity"],"plain_english_summary":"This is a technical regulatory plan that allocates three digital radio multiplexes in Brisbane (specific frequencies, Mount Coot-tha transmitter, power and antenna limits) and sets licence categories for who may broadcast.

Endnote 4 shows specific amendments—additions of provisions (eg. s.3A, s.3B), amendments to schedules and attachments (including Attachments 1.1–1.3) and a repeal entry for s.6 (note).
