The Gas Marketing Code of Conduct 2022 regulates how gas retailers advertise gas to customers throughout Western Australia.
The ERA has established a statutory committee, the Gas Marketing Code Consultative Committee (GMCCC) to undertake a review of the Code every two years. The GMCCC also provides advice about proposed Code amendments referred to it by the ERA.
Amendments to the Code, announced by the ERA on 19 May 2025, took effect on 1 January 2026:
- Australian-first changes to regulate marketing statements comparing gas and electric appliances.
- New protections to make it easier for customers to make side-by-side comparisons of different gas plans using standardised basic plan information documents.
- Replaced marketer identification requirements with a more streamlined approach that applies equally to all marketing channels.
The 2025 Gas Code Review page (below) includes information about the changes, our final decision, and public submissions that were received during consultation.
The ERA will appoint a new GMCCC membership to undertake the next Code review.
