REQUEST TO TRANSMIT FROM COUNCIL BUILDING [372588]

A letter from the ‘Unforgettable Music Society Inc.’ (UMSI) requesting permission to transmit a low power frequency modulation (LPFM) signal from a suitable Council building in Paeroa has been received. The society plans to transmit music of the 1940~70’s era and messages targeting the senior residents within the Paeroa community.

The writer advises that a small area will be required to house a transmitter the size of the Auckland telephone directory, plus a computer. A 2.3 metre high antenna will also need to be positioned at the highest point possible.

The computer will house the playlist and data that will be transmitted 24 hours a day. To update the list the writer has requested broadband access of approximately 10 minutes per week to this computer. Council is asked to provide broadband access.

Public performance permission to APRA (Australasian Performing Right Association) and PPNZ (Phonographic Performances New Zealand) will also need to be secured; Council is asked to cover this license cost.

The transmitter and computer are expected to use no more than 2 units of electricity per day; Council is asked to cover this cost.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the request be received

AND THAT the Paeroa Ward Committee considers the request of UMSI.
