​As of April 2025, New South Wales (NSW) does not have a statewide ban on new gas connections. However, several local councils have implemented measures to restrict gas connections in new developments, primarily for health, economic, and environmental reasons

Councils THAT ALREADY REQUIRE new homes and businesses built in their local government area to be fully electric

  • City of Sydney

  • Waverly

  • Land Cave

  • Parramatta

Future Outlook

While there is no statewide ban, the increasing number of councils adopting gas-free policies indicates a growing trend towards electrification in NSW. Advocacy groups continue to push for broader legislative changes to support this transition.​

If you're in NSW and considering building or renovating, it's advisable to check with your local council to understand the specific regulations and incentives related to gas connections and electrification.
