Geelong sits on the AusNet gas network, and rentals covered by Victoria's 2-year gas safety check duty follow the same cycle here as in Melbourne.
Geelong's reticulated natural gas is supplied by AusNet, the same distributor that covers Melbourne's western suburbs and parts of western Victoria. Geelong's rental market, including its established inner suburbs and the newer growth corridors toward Armstrong Creek, is covered by the same Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 gas safety check duty as anywhere else in the state: for a rental agreement entered into after 29 March 2021, or a fixed-term agreement of more than five years that rolls over into a periodic tenancy after that date, a licensed or registered gasfitter must check every gas installation and fitting at least once every two years.
Geelong's mix of housing stock, from older weatherboard homes with ageing gas heaters to newer estates with recently installed systems, means the value of the mandatory check varies by property, but the legal requirement itself doesn't; a rental provider inside that duty in Geelong faces exactly the same two-year obligation, record-keeping duty and disclosure requirement to renters as one in Melbourne's inner suburbs.
If you manage a Geelong rental and aren't sure when the last gas safety check was carried out, check your records before advertising the property. Our guide on rental gas safety check landlord obligations sets out the full checklist, including what you're required to disclose to a new renter before they sign.
