Energy Coordination (Ombudsman Scheme) Regulations 2004

Before exercising the power of revocation in section 11ZQA of the Act, the Authority must comply with subregulations (2) to (5).

The Authority must notify —

the Minister;

the Minister to whom the administration of the Fair Trading Act 2010 is committed; and

the public,

The notification must —

set out the reasons for, and invite submissions on, the proposed exercise of the power of revocation;

specify the last day on which submissions will be received by the Authority (at least 30 days after the day of the notification); and

specify the formats in which submissions will be received by the Authority.

To comply with subregulation (2)(c), the notification must be published —

in the Gazette;

in a newspaper circulating in Western Australia;

on an internet website maintained by the Authority; and

by sending it (electronically or otherwise) to persons listed on the Authority’s mailing list as interested in receiving notices from the Authority.

The Authority must take into account all submissions received on or before the last day for receiving submissions.

A copy of each submission received by the Authority on or before the last day for receiving submissions must, unless the person making the submission has specified that it is confidential —

be displayed on an internet website maintained by the Authority; and

be available on request.

Once the Authority has decided whether or not it will exercise the power of revocation, it must notify the Ministers referred to in subregulation (2) and the public of its decision, in the same way it notified them of its intention to exercise that power.
