Once we receive your request for a new gas connection we will schedule a site inspection to check if your site is ready to lay the service line.
Meeting the requirements for site readiness helps to ensure our crews are safe and efficient and minimises delays to your connection, and others who have requested connections.
As soon as we assess your site as ready, we aim to lay your service within 20 business days.
Should the fieldwork crew find site conditions have changed and the site no longer meets the mandatory requirements, a site re-evaluation will be required and the works scheduled to take place within 20 days after readiness.
