📜 Environmental Protection (Petrol) Amendment Regulations 2026
These regulations amend the Environmental Protection (Petrol) Regulations 1999 to introduce exemptions for petrol specifications during and immediately after a declared state of emergency. This allows for the supply and use of petrol that may not meet standard methyl tertiary-butyl ether or Reid Vapour Pressure limits under specific emergency conditions.
Fuel suppliers and distributors are affected as they will have temporary exemptions from certain petrol specification requirements during a state of emergency and for a 6-month period afterwards. This provides flexibility in fuel supply during critical times, potentially impacting consumers by allowing different petrol formulations.
