Authorisation Conditions
Authorisation obligations are found in a number of Regulatory Instruments.
For a licensing regime to be effective, stakeholders must be able to understand both the authorisation conditions and the regime itself. The Tribunal has published the following Consolidated Reference Documents to bring together and reference all authorisation obligations imposed under various legal source documents. The reference documents do not have legal authority. They are intended to operate as subject matter guides to assist participants in the NSW energy industry to understand the obligations imposed by the licensing regime.
Periodically, the Tribunal will update and reissue these reference documents to include changes to authorisation obligations. However, the reference documents do not relieve authorisation holders of their obligations to be aware of and comply with all their licence obligations.
The Tribunal Licence Reporting Manuals are also useful documents to review since they provide in tabular form a list of all authorisation conditions that apply to each authorisation type.
Ministerially-imposed authorisation conditions form a sub-set of the authorisation conditions for retail gas suppliers and reticulators. In July 2004 the Minister approved standardised ministerially-imposed authorisation conditions for suppliers and reticulators.
Authorisation holders should note that the changes to Ministerially-imposed conditions established a new term of "Designated Distribution Pipelines." This term was defined by way of notice in the Government Gazette on 23 July 2004.
