Currigee Gas Update
The Residents committee has been investigating the supply of 45 litre LPG gas to our resident community since supply ceased at the end of 2014. There have been many discussions with Gold Coast City Council, State Government, Couran Cove residents, Tipplers, Island operators and potential suppliers. We have looked at storage options, shared facilities and council involvement. Suppliers are not particularly interested in servicing Currigee.
It appears that the only solution going forward will be to engage a supplier and providing the barge transport for them which will be an additional cost.
It is important to note at this stage that with changes in regulations and codes in 2015, many residents need to upgrade their gas fittings to be compliant. Upgrades must be done by a qualified gas fitter before the new supplier can supply to you.
Please find a quote here for all residences which Andrew Stewart has kindly organized.
The gas fitter will be on the island in the next month. We are yet to finalize dates. You will need to authorize via email that you want the work done and also give us details of how to access your residence. Clearly you can commission your own person but you will need a compliance certificate and plate before you can get supply.
We will be in touch again shortly to let you know timing and how to give the service person approval and access details.
