If you intend to construct a new gas pipeline, or construction has already commenced, you may apply for this determination if you want to have a 15-year period where no economic sanctions are placed on your gas pipeline.
The National Competition Council considers applications for coverage or revocation of coverage of pipelines and for greenfield pipeline incentives. The Council will make its recommendation on the outcome of your application to the appropriate Minister who will then make a determination in accordance with the National Gas Law.
The Council is also able to make decisions on the classification of natural gas pipelines and the form of regulation to be applied to a covered pipeline.
