The regulations also delete a redundant National Gas Rule reference from the list of civil penalty and conduct provisions in the National Gas Access (WA) (Part 3) Regulations 2009.
This reform:
- enables the Economic Regulation Authority to have appropriate enforcement measures for the non-scheme gas pipeline access regime; and
- ensures a consistent national approach, as the Part 23 Rules classified as civil penalty and conduct provisions in Western Australia are now the same as those that apply in all other jurisdictions in Australia.
On 12 June 2020, the below information paper was published:
- Information Paper: National Gas Rules – civil penalty and conduct provisions
- Attachment A of the Information Paper: National Gas Access (WA) (Part 3) Amendment Regulations 2020
Submissions closed on 13 July 2020. No comments were received on the proposed regulations.
The regulations were published in the Government Gazette on 2 February 2021 and can be found below.
