(5) This section does not allow the ACMA:
(a) to vary or revoke a condition set out in Part 5 of Schedule 2; or
(b) to vary or revoke a timing condition so that there are no times in which the licence allows community broadcasting services to be provided; or
(c) to vary the licence period so that the period is longer than 12 months.
(6) If the ACMA varies or revokes a condition (other than a timing condition), imposes an additional condition or varies the licence period, the ACMA is to publish the fact of the variation, revocation or additional condition in the Gazette.
