What are the steps for organising a gas connection to my property?

By May 16, 2023No Comments

The process for organising a gas connection to your property in Sydney, Australia typically involves the following steps:

1. Contact a licensed gas fitter or plumber
The first step is to contact a licensed gas fitter or plumber who can help you determine if your property is eligible for a gas connection and what type of gas connection you will need.

2. Determine gas availability
The gas fitter or plumber will need to determine if natural gas or LPG (liquid petroleum gas) is available in your area. If natural gas is not available, you may need to have an LPG tank installed on your property.

3. Apply for a gas connection
Once you have determined the type of gas connection you will need, you will need to apply for a gas connection with the gas distribution company in your area. In Sydney, the gas distribution company is Jemena Gas Networks.

4. Obtain necessary permits
Depending on the type of gas connection you are applying for, you may need to obtain permits from your local council or other government agencies. Your gas fitter or plumber can help you determine what permits you will need and how to obtain them.

5. Install gas infrastructure
Once your application for a gas connection has been approved and permits have been obtained, the gas fitter or plumber will need to install the necessary gas infrastructure, such as gas pipes, meters, and regulators.

6. Final inspection and connection
After the gas infrastructure has been installed, a final inspection will be conducted to ensure that it meets all relevant safety standards. Once the inspection has been passed, the gas connection will be made and your property will be ready to use gas.

It’s important to note that the process for organising a gas connection may vary depending on your location and individual circumstances. It’s always a good idea to consult with a licensed gas fitter or plumber who can guide you through the process and ensure that all necessary steps are taken to obtain a safe and reliable gas connection to your property.
