Assessing if you need an exemption flowchart
A flowchart titled “Assessing if you need an exemption flowchart” that helps determine if a gas connection requires an exemption. It asks sequential questions about whether the property is in a designated area, in specific zones, if a connection application was submitted before 8 December 2023, and if a Development Application or Building Approval was lodged before 1 March 2024. Outcomes indicate whether the connection is allowed, requires contacting Evoenergy, or is prohibited without an exemption. Purple boxes show questions, red boxes show outcomes, with arrows guiding the flow.
Do you want to make a connection to a premise in a 'Designated Area' (an area of National Land administered by the National Capital Authority).
Do you want to make a connection to a premise in a industrial zone, parks and recreation zone, transport and services zone, non-urban zone, and to a building that is not a residential building (Class 1-4 building)?
