The WA Government will provide a weekly fuel update to keep the public informed on the state’s fuel security.
These updates will outline some of the actions the Government is taking to manage supply chain issues caused by the global fuel shock.
Please note that weekly updates were paused on 10 and 17 July.

Summary of current fuel situation as at 24 July 2026
What was achieved this week:
- A total of 2,199 fuel station inspections have been undertaken since the start of our inspection blitz in early March, resulting in 111 infringements issued.
- Fuel supplies are stable for July and August and fuel station stockouts remain low across the State.
- Despite the recent escalation in hostilities in the Middle East, fuel cargoes continue to arrive as planned.
- There is more fuel in WA now than at the same time last year.
- The State Fuel Controller is working closely with fuel companies and distributors to address any supply chain constraints.
- 20 million litres of diesel, as part of our nation-leading strategic stockpile, are in place and accessible in Wyndham, Esperance, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, and Kwinana.
- This 100% WA-owned stockpile will allow us to respond quickly to any potential acute shortages and shore up fuel security in regional areas.
- Holders of a valid WA driver’s licence can claim the $100 Fuel Support Payment. To date, over 750,000 Western Australians have successfully claimed the payment. More information at wa.gov.au/FuelPayment.
