The Gas Act is the principle piece of legislation that regulates us, the Government of New Zealand and the natural gas industry. Looking at Part 4A of the Gas Act, it sets out the co-regulatory model for governance of the gas industry. This means that an approved industry body, that's the Gas Industry Company, co-regulates the gas industry through making recommendations that secondary legislation be made by the Minister. This secondary legislation is referred to as a "gas governance arrangement".
