The Coordinator of Energy (Coordinator), in consultation with the Gas Advisory Board (GAB), is undertaking a review of the Gas Services Information (GSI) Rules.
There are two key drivers for the Review: the recent Inquiry into the WA Domestic Gas Policy (the Inquiry), and proposed changes to the National Gas Law (NGL) and National Gas Rules (NGR) as they may apply in Western Australia.
The purpose of this Review is to:
- assess the GSI Rules in the context of a number of the Inquiry’s findings, which were supported by the WA Government, and propose any necessary amendments or clarifications to the rules aimed at achieving the intent of the recommendations;
- ensure consistency with provisions in the NGL and NGR in light of a proposal to adopt certain new information disclosure requirements for pipelines and blend processing, compression and storage facilities under the NGL; and
- evaluate additional aspects of the GSI Rules that may require clarifications or amendments.
The GAB has established the GSI Rules Review Working Group (GSIRRWG) to support the Coordinator’s review.
Energy Policy WA will provide administrative support to the GSIRRWG.
Papers and detailed minutes of the GSIRRWG meetings will be published on the GSIRRWG page and the relevant GAB papers and minutes are available on the GAB webpage.
