Land Developers

We deliver safe, reliable and affordable natural gas to over 800,000 West Australian homes and businesses. As the WA metro area grows, we?re committed to working with land developers to expand our current gas network so we can continue to build and support WA communities.

Through our Capital Contributions Policy we will assess the demand for network expansion and infrastructure upgrades to help land developers in providing natural gas to land buyers.

We are focused on growing developer partnership opportunities and increasing the availability of natural gas to new land developments.

ATCO Australia are committed to working with and supporting the Land Development community to facilitate expansion of the natural gas network within new residential developments. Land developments which abut the existing network will typically have gas reticulation fully funded by ATCO Australia.

In instances where a gas mains extension is deemed necessary to service a new development, ATCO Australia will assess headworks costs on a case-by-case scenario and will identify opportunities to co-contribute to the cost of extending natural gas infrastructure to new land developments and subdivisions where possible.

Assessment is made based on:

• Proximity and location of existing infrastructure
• Size of the development
• Timing of the development
• Usage demand
  

Contact us via email and one of our Land Development Specialists will be happy to help.

If you are a land developer and you wish to find information regarding the availability of reticulated gas in the area of your development, contact us.

The information we need includes:

• Number of lots planned
• Average size of the Lots
• Type of development - Commercial/Industrial/Residential
• Proposed Timeframes
• An indication of potential gas loads (if known)
  
  

ATCO Australia will assess the development and advise if any mains extensions or infrastructure upgrades are necessary, and undertake an economic assessment to determine if a customer contribution is required. Contact us for more detail and one of our Land Development experts would be happy to help you.

As part of your application for a gas supply to a new subdivision, you give approval for ATCO Australia to erect a 600mm x 900mm sign at the entrance of the subdivision indicating that natural gas is available. We?ll take care of the cost of supplying and erecting the signage.
