Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This instrument updates the technical rules for television broadcasting in Brisbane by varying the Television Licence Area Plan (Brisbane) 2012.

Specific change: It replaces a table in the Plan to set new technical specifications for Channel 28 in Brisbane, including:

An expiry date of 31 December 2016 for the channel allotment
A maximum broadcast power of 15 kW (ERP)
Horizontal polarisation requirements
Specific transmitter details (specification number 1136656)

Who it affects: Television broadcasters operating in Brisbane, particularly those using Channel 28. This was likely part of the "digital restack" process to reorganise TV frequencies and free up spectrum for other uses.

Why it matters: Licence Area Plans control which broadcasters can use which radio frequencies (channels) and with what technical power. This ensures signals don't interfere with each other and manages the limited broadcasting spectrum efficiently.
