The process
ATCO is the distributor of natural gas to the Perth metro area. For business, builder or land developer technical enquiries, please contact us. For customer account & setup requirements, please refer to your chosen gas retailer.
- If a property needs to be connected to gas for the first time, the gasfitter or builder needs to lodge a Request for Gas (RFG) supplied by your retailer.
- The natural gas meter box must be fitted in accordance with the Gas Meter Box Location Handbook (3.7 MB) before submitting the Request for Gas form.
- When gas fitting is complete, the gasfitter needs to lodge a notice of completion to ATCO via Energy Safety’s eNotice system or email noc@atcogas.com.au
