Gas pipeline register
Download an A3 sized PDF version of the map
The National Gas Rules (NGR) requires that the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) establish and maintain a register of all pipelines that are, or have been, subject to any form of regulation or exemption from regulation under the National Gas Law (NGL) or the National Third Party Access Code for Natural Gas Pipelines (the previous scheme).
The National Gas Law and the National Gas Rules came into effect on 1 July 2008 in all jurisdictions except Western Australia. On 1 January 2010, Western Australia became a participating jurisdiction under the National Gas Law to the extent set out in the National Gas Access (WA) Act 2009.
The regulator for all pipelines except those in WA, is the Australian Energy Regulator (AER). The regulator for the WA pipelines is the Energy Regulation Authority (ERA).
The purpose of the pipeline register is to provide the public with access to key documents related to the economic regulation of natural gas pipelines across Australia. The pipeline register:
- Does not hold information about pipeline licences. Licencing is carried out by state and territory government authorities.
- Does not receive applications to connect to a pipeline. Applications should be made direct to the pipeline owner or operator.
To contact the AEMC pipeline register or provide information to it, please email us at: pipeline.register@aemc.gov.au
In the table below you can find all the gas pipelines by state, noting their classification as a distribution or transmission pipeline. Pipelines are also classified according to their current regulatory status of:
- Covered (and subject to full regulation by the AER or ERA)
- Covered (and subject to light regulation under the AER or ERA)
- Uncovered (and noting when coverage had been revoked)
- Uncovered (where the pipeline has not ever been ‘covered’).
In addition, non-scheme or uncovered pipelines, that are subject to regulation under Part 23 of the NGR can apply to the relevant regulator for exemptions from some regulatory obligations if certain criteria are met. There are three possible exemption categories:
| Exemption category | Exemption criteria |
|---|---|
| Category 1: exemption from arbitration of access disputes | The pipeline does not provide third party access |
| Category 2: exemption from information disclosure provisions | Either of the following: The pipeline does not provide third party access. The pipeline is a single shipper pipeline. |
| Category 3: exemption from publishing service usage information, service availability information and financial information | At any time, the average daily injection of natural gas into the non-scheme pipeline calculated over the immediately preceding 24 months is less than 10TJ/day. |
