BROADCASTING SERVICES ACT 1992 No. 110 of 1992 - SECT 31

31.(1) The Minister may notify the ABA in writing that capacity in the
broadcasting services bands is to be reserved for a specified number of:

   (a)  national broadcasting services; or

   (b)  community broadcasting services; but such a notice must not affect the
        provision of services in accordance with a licence already allocated
        by the ABA under this Act or in accordance with a class licence.

(2) The ABA must not, except in accordance with section 34, allocate a licence
or determine a class licence that would allow the provision of
broadcasting services (other than services provided by national broadcasters
or community broadcasting licensees) which would make use of reserved capacity
in the broadcasting services bands.
