From 1 January 2010, existing Queensland houses and townhouses (class 1 buildings) located in a reticulated natural gas area must install a greenhouse efficient hot water system (gas, solar or heat pump) when the existing electric resistance system needs replacing. Householders will not need to replace their existing hot water systems that are in good working order.
This requirement does not apply to homeowners in existing units (class 2 buildings).
To find out whether your property is within a reticulated natural gas area, either call 1800 007 427 or go to https://www.smartservice.qld.gov.au/services/property/natural-gas-reticulation/search/postcode
If you own an investment property, check to ensure your Property Manager is aware of this new legislation.
