3.1.2 Multi-Unit Connection Process
For details regarding the Multi-Unit connection process, refer to NCN GL0006 Residential Unit
Development Handbook.
3.1.3 Commercial Gas Connections
For Commercial Gas Connections, refer to Section 3.5.5.
3.2 Determining Gas Availability
To determine if gas is available to the property, please contact a gas retailer.
If gas is not outside the property but in an adjoining street, or if there is no appropriate gas
main in the vicinity, then a mains extension may be required to bring gas to the property. If
requested, a gas retailer will organise a quotation from AGA to extend the gas main to the
property.
Where a gas connection cannot readily be made because there is no direct street frontage to a
gas main (e.g., a property on a rear laneway without gas mains), refer to Section4.1.7.
