GEA RESPONSE TO THE REGULATORY IMPACT STATEMENT: OPEN FLUED GAS SPACE HEATERS

Gas Energy Australia (GEA) welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS): Open Flued Gas Space Heaters (OFGSHs).

GEA is supportive of the Victorian Government’s primary objective of ensuring the health and safety of the community by reducing the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) exposure and CO poisoning from OFGSHs in Victoria. Further, GEA welcomes the Victorian Government’s initiative on this issue and recommends enhancements to the safety performance of OFGSH’s through Standards Australia processes that will benefit all Australians.
