2008 proposed Changes to the Gas Access Regulatory Framework

A revised National Gas Law commenced in the Eastern States from 1 July 2008.  Western Australia is intending to adopt a modified version of this National Gas Law.

The National Gas Access Western Australia Bill 2008 was introduced into the Western Australian Parliament on 18 June 2008, and lapsed when the State Election was called. The National Gas Access (WA) Bill 2008 was reintroduced to the Legislative Assembly on 26 November 2008.

Progress of this bill is available at the Parliament of Western Australia’s web site.


Access to gas pipelines was previously regulated by the Western Australian Gas Pipeline Access Regulator who was supported by the Office of Gas Access Regulation (OffGAR). With the transfer of the Regulator's functions to the ERA, OffGAR was abolished.
