The CBAA has announced that its Community Radio Broadcasting Codes of Practice are open for consultation for the first time since 2008.

Beginning this week, the consultation period ends on December 15th.

Anyone seeking to comment is invited to find the draft Codes here and all parties are welcome to comment on the behalf of themselves or an organisation.

The Codes are reviewed periodically to reflect changing community standards and remain relevant.

It is hoped that the revised Codes will be clearer, more flexible, and less onerous for stations to comply with.

The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia, as the peak body representing the greatest number of community broadcasting licenses in Australia, is leading the redrafting of the Codes.

Anyone seeking to respond to the Codes can answer a short online survey or provide a written submission.
