2024 Gas Ban Information Hub

Victorian Government Regulatory Impact Statement update

Last week (13/12/24), we sent an update to our members about the Victorian Government’s further proposal to ban gas in all existing homes and new commercial premises from 1st January 2025.

A Regulatory Impact Statement has been released which details four options for potential gas bans and will be open for comment until February 28 next year.  As members would expect, Master Plumbers will be making a very strong submission opposing these bans and will be joined by a wide range of stakeholders in the industry and broader business community who also see this ban for what it is - an ideological campaign which puts Victoria’s energy security at risk.

Master Plumbers maintains the position that we are not against electrification over a realistic timeframe.  What we disagree with is the proposition that it can be done for minimal cost and over a scant few years.

The Your Home Your Choice campaign

Master Plumbers is empowering consumers to make their own decisions about the Victorian Government’s forced transition away from gas, armed with information in a new factsheet that spells out all the facts, not just what the Government wants people to hear.  

We invite plumbers across Victoria to share the Your Home Your Choice factsheet with your customers to get the conversation started.  You can order free copies of the brochure from plumber.com.au/yourhomeyourchoice.  

Below you will find all the media reports and press releases on this campaign as well as key announcements and information about the gas ban. Stay tuned for updates.
