The Tasmanian Government is taking action to address ongoing fuel pressures, introducing the Petroleum Reporting (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill 2026. The Bill seeks to strengthen Tasmania’s energy security framework, improve compliance with mandatory codes of practice, and enhance the state’s powers to monitor, plan for and respond to risks to petroleum and energy supply.
Under these new laws, the Government will enforce clearer rules for fuel companies to report on supply levels and introduc penalties should they fail to do so. The Government will also be able to get access to information from fuel companies quicker.
