The Elliot Lateral is currently a non-scheme pipeline, and is subject to the access regime for non-scheme pipelines under under Part 10 of the National Gas Rules (NGR). It was previously subject to the access regime for non-scheme pipelines under the former Part 23 of the NGR, which was replaced by Part 10.

The AER has granted the following exemptions for the Elliot Lateral:

  • On 13 December 2017, a five year Category 2 exemption under Part 23 of the NGR.
  • On 30 November 2022, a five year Category 2 exemption under Part 23 of the NGR.  Due to reforms to the NGR, the exemption transitioned to a Category 2 exemption under Part 10 of the NGR.

The Elliot Lateral was commissioned in 1989.
