Energy and Resources Point-in-Time Service Updates

Tuesday 12 May 2015 @ 10.56 a.m.

The Energy and Resources Point-in-Time Service has just been updated to include new Queensland legislation amendments from the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Amendment Regulation (No. 1) 2015 (No. 23 of 2015).

The purpose of the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Amendment Regulation (No. 1) 2015, according to the explanatory notes, is to remove the ambiguity regarding liquefied petroleum gas delivery networks.

Some provisions about liquefied petroleum gas delivery networks in the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Regulation 2004 are confusing and ambiguous. Questions have been raised about what is a liquefied petroleum gas delivery network operating plant given the provisions in the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Regulation 2004 and the provisions in the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004. Consideration of these questions indicates ambiguity between provisions of the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004 and the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Regulation 2004. The amendment regulation will remove the ambiguity and uncertainty and confirm the intended purpose of the provisions but will not change how provisions are being administered.

The amendments made by Regulation No 23 of 2015 are updated in the Point-in-Time Energy and Resources Service with a currency of 12 May 2015. (NB: Subscription required).
