Stephen.Palethorpe@Aph.Gov.Au Subj 16 March 2011 Stephen Palethorpe Secretary Senate Environment and Communications Committee e: [email protected] Subject: Question on Notice – Senate Enquiry 15 March, Brisbane Dear Stephen Find attached RAPAD’s responses to the QoN from yesterday senate enquiry. 1. Senator Fisher 10.46am - Please expand on your comment that local governments operators need extra time to conduct trials and cost benefit analyses of digital conversion options in relation to self help broadcasting sites and that this will not delay the digital switchover? RAPAD councils and all self-help licensees in remote areas of Queensland could be given the time to proof of concept digital self-help terrestrial transmission facilities; carry out subsequent cost benefit analysis; consult further with ratepayers; and decide to go ahead with establishing such a facility or not without affecting any of the indicated analogue switch-off dates for any region. All that would be required is for the remote areas of Queensland to either not be included in the regional Qld SSS contract and deadlines (just as remote SA was separated from regional SA for SSS implementation purposes see below table) or DBCDE could stick to its original closing date for remote Queensland SSS of March 2012 and delay its opening from 20 April to say August 2011 (see table below). Subsidy SSS SSS SSS Install Area Applications Applications Close Date OPEN CLOSE SA – Regional 15 JUL 2010 31 OCT 2010 15 DEC 2010 QLD – Regional 20 APR 2011 20 AUG 2011 OCT 2011 QLD – Remote 20 APR 2011 20 JAN 2012 MAR 2012 SA – Remote 30 SEP 2011 DEC 2011 FEB 2012 As the remote areas of Queensland are due to switch-off analogue in mid 2013 the above 2 options do not affect the switch-off date for the remote areas of our state. At the same time existing SSS deadlines could apply to regional Queensland as we understand the Government intends to switch- off analogue in these TV markets by 31 December 2011. I hope the committee understands that mass letters being sent out to our ratepayers inviting them to opt in to the SSS scheme on 20 April without the councils being able to provide definitive alternate information concerning digital self-help – would just be a recipe for steamrolling our ratepayers’ interests. We note that the above procedure change is not the province of the Bill. For many of our issues we needed to use the Bill and the Senate Committee to communicate on a whole raft of matters. Our submission and that of LGAQ however carefully did include a great many matters that are directly the subject of the Bill, such as our opposition to any opportunities for any broadcaster being able to seek exemptions from any of their current legal obligations to roll out digital terrestrial wherever they operate analogue terrestrial transmitters. Just as we seek to do all we can to see if we can make digital self-help work in our areas – because we believe digital terrestrial reception may be both cheaper and more convenient to households and businesses than VAST DTH – so we are most opposed to others being able to take advantage of any opportunity to roll out less digital terrestrial facilities than currently their legal obligations would require. Our own desires to thoroughly investigate digital terrestrial self-help options are directly related to the broadcasters also rolling out a maximum of digital terrestrial facilities of their own. 2. Given the recent extreme weather patterns in QLD, wouldn’t it be preferable to upgrade current analogue transmitters to digital rather than having exposed satellite equipment installed at each user’s home base? Yes 3.
