3NRG

3NRG (actual ACMA call sign: 3FUN) is a community radio station in Sunbury, Victoria, Australia. It was founded as Bulla FM, and changed its name to 3NRG in 1999.

The Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA) issued a radio licence area plan for the Sunbury region on 22 June 2000, which determined that a community radio station license should be granted for the area. 3NRG was the only applicant, and was granted a permanent licence to replace the temporary licence under which they had previously operated, which had just expired.

The station was established to provide local news, information and community access to the township of Sunbury, in outer north west metropolitan Melbourne, as well as to the surrounding localities of Diggers Rest, The Gap, Couangult and Toolern Vale. 3NRG broadcasts on frequency 99.3 MHz FM.

Management

3NRG is a not for profit community broadcaster. Broadcasters of this type are required (as part of the conditions for licencing) to have open membership policies. The Management Team of the radio station—as is typical of community based radio Australian—is determined by the members of the Association at an Annual General Meeting.

The present Committee of Management of 3NRG-FM community radio is:
