Underground Petroleum Storage System
An Underground Petroleum Storage System is an underground storage facility that holds petroleum products. This includes components such as pipes, valves and any apparatus that aids in the storage of petroleum products.
From 1 September 2019, the New South Wales Environment Protection Authority (NSW EPA) handed over the responsibilities of regulating Underground Petroleum Storage Systems to local councils.
You must register with Bayside Council if there is an Underground Petroleum Storage System on your premises, pay a fee, and be compliant at the time of routine inspections.
Before you start your application, you will need to check to see that your address is in the Bayside LGA. The mapping tool will allow you to do an address or property search.
You must also register with us if you have an existing Underground Petroleum Storage System, or plan to run, change, or decommission a system on your premises.
Underground Petroleum Storage Systems are subject to routine inspections, and there is a penalty for operating without registering with us.
