Gas (Processing Facilities Information Disclosure) Rules 2008

The purpose of the Rules is to provide a process to settle the issue of whether it is necessary to recommend rules or regulations setting reasonable terms and conditions for access to, and use of, gas processing facilities by:

• making information publicly available on the capability of, and availability of capacity at, gas processing facilities;
• monitoring responses to requests for third party access to gas processing facilities; and
• using that information to report to the Minister of Energy on the need for rules or regulations setting reasonable terms and conditions for access to, and use of, gas processing facilities under section 43F(2)(b) of the Gas Act.
