The WA Constitutional Affairs Committee reviewed the Gas Pipelines Access (Western Australia) Bill 1998, which aimed to regulate third-party access to gas pipelines and establish related offices. The committee generally supported the Bill, recommending all clauses be passed except for clause 35, which they suggested should be fully debated. They also advocated for establishing an Office of Regulation for all access regimes covered by the National Competition Policy.
