APT Petroleum Pipelines Pty Limited (APTPPL) owns and operates the gas transmission Roma to Brisbane Pipeline (RBP). The National Gas Law (NGL) and National Gas Rules (NGR) provide the regulatory framework governing gas networks. As with other covered pipelines, we regulate APTPPL's reference tariffs – and through this, its revenue – under an approved access arrangement.
On 30 June 2025, APTPPL submitted its RBP reference service proposal. APTPPL is required to submit to the AER for approval RBP's reference service proposal 12 months prior to submission of RBP's access arrangement for the period 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2032 (due by 1 July 2026).
Interested parties were invited to make a submission on APTPPL's Roma to Brisbane Pipeline reference service proposal. Submission are now closed. We received one submission from the Energy Users' Association of Australia (EUAA).
On 14 November 2025, the AER made its final decision on APTPPL's reference service proposal in respect of its Roma to Brisbane Pipeline. Our final decision is to approve APTPPL's proposal.
Details are set out in the AER final decision paper.
