Think of it as a \"no-build zone\" or restricted area that extends 25 metres on each side of the pipeline, plus semicircular buffers at each end.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n\n- **Tas Gas Networks Pty Ltd** – the company that owns and operates the pipeline\n- **Landowners and developers** in Upper Burnie – anyone who owns or wants to develop land within 25 metres of this pipeline must now comply with special planning restrictions\n- **Local councils and planning authorities** – they must take this corridor into account when approving building or development applications\n\n**Why it matters:**\n\nThe corridor protects the pipeline from:\n- Accidental damage during construction or excavation\n- Incompatible development (like buildings too close to the pipeline)\n- Safety risks to nearby residents\n\nIt gives the gas company and regulators clear legal boundaries to work with when assessing development proposals near the pipeline. Without this order, there would be no formal, legally recognised buffer zone.\n\n**Key details:**\n- The corridor follows a specific pipeline running from the Burnie Offtake Facility to two endpoints (Mount Street District Regulator Station and a precise map coordinate)\n- The 25-metre width is measured at right angles from the pipeline's centre-line\n- The exact route is shown on **Plan 9757** in Tasmania's Central Plan Register"},"summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The order appears to have remained consistent with its original intent since commencement in October 2014 — designating a specific gas pipeline corridor in Upper Burnie with no recorded amendments altering its scope."},"complexity_factors":["Very narrow and specific geographic scope — applies only to Upper Burnie","Single-purpose instrument with limited operative provisions","Relies on the parent Gas Act for substantive legal effect, so the order itself contains little complexity","No amendments recorded, indicating no added layers of interpretation","Limited publicly available text makes full technical analysis difficult"],"plain_english_summary":"The Order formally designates a strip of land in Upper Burnie as a gazetted gas pipeline corridor, protecting that route for installation and maintenance of gas infrastructure.
