The Tallawarra Lateral Pipeline is a transmission pipeline and is owned by EnergyAustralia.
The Tallawarra Lateral Pipeline is approx. 800 m in length. It transports natural gas in an east to west direction from near the Tallawarra Power Station south of Wollongong.
The Tallawarra Lateral Pipeline 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.
On 3 June 2022, the AER granted a five year Category 1 and Category 2 exemption under Part 23 of the NGR, as well as a Category 1 exemption under Part 24 of the NGR for the Tallawarra Lateral Pipeline. Due to reforms to the NGR, the Part 23 exemptions transitioned to a Category 1 exemption under Part 10 of the NGR.
