Ownership of gas infrastructure that becomes part of land
100 Ownership of gas infrastructure that becomes part of land
Gas infrastructure owned by a distributor remains the distributor’s personal property despite—
it becoming part of any land; or
the sale or other disposal of the land.
However, subsection (1) ceases to apply if the distributor agrees that the gas infrastructure is no longer the distributor’s property.
This section applies despite—
an Act or law of a State; or
a contract, covenant or claim of right under a law of a State.
This section ceases to apply if—
the distribution authority is cancelled or otherwise ends; or
the land on which the infrastructure is situated ceases to be land subject to, or in the distribution area of, the authority.
For subsection (4), if the term of the authority ends but, under section 66, it is continued in force, the authority only ends if, under that section, it stops being in force.
