The Natural Gas Network in Western Australia
Gas is a fantastic source of energy – for homes, businesses and industry.
We look after Western Australia’s largest reticulated gas network, with more than 14,000km of pipeline serving the Perth metropolitan area and regional centres including Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Bunbury and Albany – and many towns and centres in between.
Our network mostly transports natural gas to your home, although in Albany the network operates slightly differently, delivering liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to homes and businesses.
As Perth continues to grow and develop, we are focused on expanding the network to meet that growth, as well as maintaining existing infrastructure to ensure safe and efficient supply for years to come.
If you’re interested in enjoying the benefits of gas at your home or business then you’ll need to talk to a gas retailer to set up an account. No matter what your needs there are a range of retailers that can assist.
The Economic Regulatory Authority website has a full and current list of natural gas retailers.
Read more about our network, including the gas supply chain in Western Australia, how your gas supply is regulated, and current projects underway to improve and expand your access to natural gas in Western Australia.
There are lots of benefits to converting your business to gas
