Summary of current fuel situation (12 June)

What was achieved this week:

• Fuel supply is currently secure into July, with growing confidence for August.
• We have secured an extra 50 million litres of diesel for WA through the Federal Government, plus an additional shipment of fertiliser, supporting farmers.
• Outages remain around 1%, which is the lowest in the country, with the national average around 3.9%. 
• Recent data shows Perth’s retail diesel prices are among the lowest in the nation. 
• Since the mandatory reporting measures began in March, a total of 1755 fuel sites have been inspected, with infringements handed out to 94 outlets. 
• The latest Fuel, Energy and Power Resources emergency regulations (No. 3), commenced this week, enabling the Minister to access relevant information across government—establishing a clear framework to request or require data from agencies to support fuel supply security, coordination and decision making during the State of Emergency, with appropriate safeguards.
