NSW: Monaro Distribution Network

The Monaro Distribution Network is a distribution network in southern NSW. The network is owned by Australian Gas Networks (AGN) and is operated by the APA Group.

The Monaro Distribution Network’s throughput is 1.13 PJ/year. The network serves Cooma and surrounding areas from the Cooma City Gate, as well as Bombala and surrounding areas via the Bombala City Gate.

The Monaro Distribution Network is currently a non-scheme pipeline, and is subject to the access regime for non-scheme pipelines under Part 10 of the National Gas Rules (NGR). It was previously subject to the access regime for non-scheme pipelines under the former Part 23 of the NGR, which was replaced by Part 10.

The AER has granted the following exemptions for the Moama Distribution Network:

  • On 13 December 2017, a five year Category 3 exemption under Part 23 of the NGR.
  • On 30 November 2022, a five year Category 3 exemption under Part 23 of the NGR. Due to reforms to the NGR, the exemption transitioned to a Category 2 exemption under Part 10 of the NGR.
