The Elliot Lateral is 4 km in length. The Elliot Lateral connects to the Amadeus Gas Pipeline and is used to fuel the Elliot power station at the Elliot township.
The Elliot Lateral is currently a non-scheme pipeline, and is subject to the access regime for non-scheme pipelines under 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 Elliot Lateral:
- On 13 December 2017, a five year Category 2 exemption under Part 23 of the NGR.
- On 30 November 2022, a five year Category 2 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.
