Recently, we (Filipovic et al. 2009) reported the first confirmed extragalactic radio-continuum detection of 15 PNe in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs). These new positive radio detections of MCs PNe open a door to the exciting possibility of construction of the radio Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function (PNLF) which would be of extreme help in understanding of properties of PNe in our own galaxy. This proposal seeks to use the ATCA to detect and measure flux densities of a selection of the confirmed MCs PNe located in the bright end of the [OIII] PNLF. We believe that, with moderate integration time per source, using the new broadband backend system for the ATCA (CABB), we can achieve positive detections of 50 new MCs PNe and improve flux density estimates of 10 previously detected objects. This new, statistically significant, sample of radio detected extragalactic PNe will allow proper examination of the bright end of the radio PNLF and comparison with established theoretical and empirical PNLFs obtained at other wavelengths.
