About Australian community broadcasting
"The Australian community broadcasting sector is recognised
internationally as one of the most successful examples of
grassroots media. Community broadcasting provides news,
information, cultural content and entertainment to communities
defined by geographical location or common interest.
The diversity of program content available through community
broadcasting, particularly specialist Ethnic, Indigenous, Radio
for the Print Handicapped (RPH) services, broadens the
media choices available to all Australians. Community media
distinguishes itself from other media by actively promoting
access and participation in the processes of media
operations, administration and production. Community
broadcasting is volunteer driven with over 20,000 volunteer
broadcasters and support staff helping to deliver media 'for
the people by the people'. The sector provides invaluable
opportunities for community access, participation, training,
experimentation and innovation in radio and television
production. "

Our primary purpose is to provide access to the local community by
producing music and spoken word programs expressing the distinctive
and diverse character of our local area. As an ongoing project we aim to
support and promote local community activities and talent through local
sports information, local news and events, the arts and environmental
issues.
