Gas

Overview

Council is the distribution authority for a reticulated gas network located within the Dalby town boundary.

The franchise has operated since 1975 and the undertaking includes approximately 3,000 natural gas consumers, with 80% of the available area in the reticulated network. The network functions as a business unit for Council and provides revenue outside of traditional rating areas of responsibility. Council is committed to an ongoing gas franchise operation with the objective of providing a low cost premium fuel, at an affordable price, to its valued consumers.

For more information or to make an enquiry in relation to Council’s natural gas service or for billing and account enquiries please contact Council on 1300 COUNCIL (1300 268 624).

Access Charge and Consumption

Natural gas tariffs and regulatory charges are set during Council budget deliberations each financial year. Customers are notified through a pricing notice as soon as practical of any changes to the tariff schedule. Council bills for every mega joule (Mj) of gas consumed based on official meter readings. Gas meters record usage in cubic meters (m3) which is converted to mega joules for billing purposes. Meters are read and accounts sent every three months for residential properties and bi-monthly for some commercial premises.
