Summary of current fuel situation (22 May)
What was achieved this week:
- The FuelWatch website has now added 225 new sites from across regional Western Australia.
- Adding these new sites will give drivers greater visibility of fuel availability and price across the whole State.
- A further 99 proactive inspections were conducted last week on fuel outlets, bringing the total number of inspections to 1533 since the beginning of the mandatory reporting measures.
- The level of fuel stockouts remains low, with an average of less than 1% of all outlets experiencing a stockout at any one time.
- This is the lowest level of fuel stockouts in Australia.
- Fuel supply into Western Australian and distribution to key regions and industries remains uninterrupted.
- Fuel companies are confident that shipments will arrive as planned for June and early July.
- The Fuel Industry Operations Group continues to meet with no major fuel shortages being reported by industry representatives.
What we are working to address:
- Work continues to ensure fuel remains available in key regions for the upcoming harvest season and Senior High School Country Week.
- Preparations continue for any escalation under the National Fuel Security Plan.
