On 28 September 2017, Australian Energy Regulator (AER) approved an application from Stockland Trust Management Limited for an individual exemption from the requirement to hold a retailer authorisation under the National Energy Retail Law to sell energy at Green Hills Shopping Centre.
Background
On 11 August 2017, the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) accepted an application from Stockland Trust Management Limited for an individual exemption from the requirement to hold a retailer authorisation under the National Energy Retail Law.
We invited submissions from interested parties on the application by 11 September 2017. No submissions were received.
Cancellation of Exemption
On 17 October 2025, the AER accepted an application from Stockland Trust Management Limited to cancel the individual exemption it was granted on 28 September 2017 for the sale of electricity at Green Hills Shopping Centre. Stockland Trust Management Limited requested the cancellation of the exemption on the grounds that it no longer owns or operates Green Hills Shopping Centre and does not sell electricity at 1 Molly Morgan Drive, East Maitland NSW 2323.
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 Trust Management Limited’s application to cancel the exemption by 14 November 2025.
