to in section 43B of the Act, which relates to maintaining the existing level of local presence, that ACMA has imposed under section 43 of the BSA and that is in force; or

          (ii) a licence condition of the kind referred to in section 43C of the Act, which relates to broadcasting at least the applicable number of hours of material of local significance during daytime hours each business day, that ACMA has imposed under section 43 of the BSA and that is in force; or

          (iii) the local news and information and local content plan requirements specified in Division 5C of Part 5 of the Act; and

        the consequences of the conduct which resulted in that non-compliance make it appropriate to consider the future planning of licences in that area.

    6 Direction –ACMA to consider whether to exercise its power to impose additional licence conditions

     I direct ACMA under section 14 of the ACMA Act to consider whether to exercise its power in section 43(1) of the BSA to impose on a regional commercial radio broadcasting licence additional licence conditions that provide for minimum service standards for local news and information, local content plans and local presence requirements consistent with Subdivisions B and C of Division 5C of Part 5 and section 43B of the Act, where:

       (a) the licensee of that licence has changed the program format of the service provided under the licence from one of broad general appeal to one of more limited appeal; and

       (b) the change in format has resulted in a reduction in the number of regional commercial radio broadcasting services that are of broad appeal in the relevant licence area.
