In March 1998, Great Southern Energy Gas Networks Pty Limited (GSN) submitted to the Tribunal its proposed Access Arrangement relating to the natural gas distribution system in Wagga Wagga. The Access Arrangement describes the terms and conditions under which GSN will provide third parties with access to its gas distribution system.
This report presents the Tribunal’s draft decision on GSN’s Access Arrangement proposal. The Tribunal has assessed the proposal in accordance with the National Access Code (the Code) which came into effect in August 1998 following the enactment of the Gas Pipelines Access (NSW) Act 1998. The Code establishes a framework for third party access to gas pipelines, which is one aspect of the competition reform now being implemented in NSW and the rest of Australia. The objective of the reform is to create competitive markets for natural gas in which customers may choose their gas supplier.
