NATIONAL GAS (VICTORIA) ACT 2008 - SECT 37

    (1)     On the day after the specified day ESC Guideline No. 17 is deemed to be a regulatory information order that applies to a gas distribution company that is a scheme pipeline service provider (the  transitioned Victorian distribution RIO ).

    (2)     Despite section 7 and anything to the contrary in the National Gas (Victoria) Law, the AER must not—

        (a)     amend the transitioned Victorian distribution RIO so that the transitioned Victorian distribution RIO, as it relates to a Victorian transitioned access arrangement, prejudices the administration of that access arrangement; or

        (b)     revoke the transitioned Victorian distribution RIO; or

        (c)     substitute the transitioned Victorian distribution RIO with a regulatory information order that has the effect of prejudicing the administration of a Victorian transitioned access arrangement; or

S. 37(2)(d) substituted by No. 59/2008 s. 45(1).

        (d)     subject to section 38, prepare or serve a regulatory information notice that is inconsistent with the transitioned Victorian distribution RIO (as the transitioned Victorian distribution RIO applies to a Victorian transitioned access arrangement before the first NGL revisions day).

    (3)     The transitioned Victorian distribution RIO ceases to have effect in relation to a gas distribution company that is a scheme pipeline service provider on the first NGL revisions day.
