On 27 May 2016, the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) approved an application from Stockland Property Management Pty Ltd for an individual exemption from the requirement to hold an electricity retailer authorisation under the National Energy Retail Law.
Background
On 6 April 2016, the AER accepted an application from Stockland Property Management Pty Ltd for an individual exemption from the requirement to hold a retailer authorisation under the National Energy Retail Law.
Submissions closed 6 May 2016. No submissions were received.
Cancellation of Exemption
On 17 October 2025, the AER accepted an application from Stockland Property Management Pty Ltd to cancel the individual exemption it was granted on 27 May 2016 for the sale of electricity at Stockland Merrylands Shopping Centre. Stockland Property Management Pty Ltd requested the cancellation of the exemption on the grounds that it no longer owns or operates Stockland Merrylands Shopping Centre and does not sell electricity at McFarlane Street, Merrylands NSW 2160.
The AER, in accordance with clause 20 of schedule 2 of the National Gas Law (as applied by section 8 of the National Energy Retail Law), has a general power to repeal any decisions that it is entitled to make.
The process to cancel an individual exemption is similar to the application process. When an application has been accepted it is open to submissions for a minimum 20 business day consultation period, after which time the AER will approve or refuse the application for cancellation.
Invitation for submissions
We are now seeking submissions from interested stakeholders on Stockland Property Management Pty Ltd’s application to cancel the exemption by 14 November 2025.
