Those eleven applicants, and the communities each claims to represent, are: 22 Applicant Community Catholic Broadcasting Ltd (CBL) Catholic community Hitz FM Broadcasters Inc (Hitz FM) Youth aged 12-30 Joy Melbourne Inc (JOY) Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community KISS FM Inc (KISS FM) General community who enjoy dance music and its associated cultures Laughtertainment Community Radio Inc (Laugh Radio) General community who enjoy listening to comedy recordings New-Gen Radio Inc (New Gen) Youth up to 30 years with a particular emphasis on the 13-21 age group Nu Country Music Radio Inc (Nu Country) Student Youth Network Inc (SYN FM) The South Eastern Indigenous Media Association Inc (SEIMA) The Victorian Muslim Community Information Service Inc (VMCIS) Triple Seven Communications Inc (Triple Seven) Country music, disadvantaged and health for living communities Students and youth with a focus on the 12- 24 age group Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community Muslim community Christian community embracing the broader Christian tradition A discussion of the relative merits of these applicants is set out below.
Having considered the relative merits of the eleven outstanding applicants, and having regard to the matters set out in s.84(a) to (d), the ABA has decided to allocate the three licences in the following manner: Service licence no. Frequency Maximum ERP/CMF Successful applicant SL 1150694 90.7 MHz 56 kW Student Youth Network Inc SL 1150695 89.9 MHz 56 kW Triple Seven Communications Inc SL 1150722 1503 kHz 1.285 kV The South Eastern Indigenous Media Association Inc Discussion of matters at s.84(a)-(d) Nature and diversity of the interests of the community within the Melbournewide licence area The ABA, in assessing the interests of the community, relied on evidence before it as to the size of the various interest groups within the licence area. Generally, in the absence of current research as to what community interests are, the ABA has accepted the submissions provided to it as to the nature of community interests. The ABA acknowledges that not all members of those interest groups have the same interests, and there may be a significant cross-over of interests between different interest groups, particularly in relation to music. At Census 1996, the total population of the Melbourne-wide community radio broadcasting licence area was 3,163,812. The Australian Bureau of Statistics [ABS] estimated that at 30 June 1999, the population for the Melbourne Statistical Division (an area slightly smaller than the Melbourne licence area) was 3,417,200. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders According to the 1996 Census, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population in the Melbourne metropolitan area was 10,796 people or 0.34% of the total population. SEIMA claims that the size of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population is greater than the Census figure due to the number of people who may not choose to identify as such in the Census. SEIMA states that although these people may not identify as Indigenous, they may still have an interest in, or require knowledge regarding, their ancestry and culture. 23
