Licensing

The Minister for Resources and Energy issues authorisations (licences) for the supply or reticulation of natural gas in NSW.  These authorisations are subject to standard conditions covering matters such as consumer protection and network safety.

IPART administers the licensing regime on behalf of the Minister. It advises the Minister on:

• the granting, variation, transfer or cancellation of an authorisation
• the imposition, variation or cancellation of conditions authorisation conditions 
• any action to be taken for a contravention of authorisation conditions
• any remedial action that may be warranted as a result of a contravention of authorisation conditions.
  
  

IPART may also impose monetary and non-monetary penalties and take other action it considers appropriate against authorisation holders for contravention of authorisation conditions.
