Applications have closed for a new community radio licence for the Cocos Islands.

ABA chief, David Flint, says the original planning process identified a demand for a new community service, operated by people living in the Cocos Islands.

“From Friday 11 June, copies of all applications will be placed for public perusal on the ABA website, the Cocos Home Island and Cocos West Island public Libraries.

“The ABA welcomes public submissions, which should be lodged by Friday 25 July. They can be posted or emailed to: [email protected]”
