AER decision - AusNet Gas Services reference service proposal 2028-33 - 1 October 2026

On 1 October 2026, the AER made its decision on AusNet's reference service proposal. Our decision is to not approve the proposal . We consider it is not consistent with the regulatory requirements due to classification of the abolishment service as a reference service and the inclusion of no access (gas meter) as a service. Details are set out in the AER decision paper.

The next steps are for the AER to revise the reference service proposal, publish the revised reference service proposal, and to make a decision to give effect to the revised reference service proposal.
