Second Statutory Review into the Operation of the Low Aromatic Fuel Act 2013

Section 18 of the Low Aromatic Fuel Act 2013 requires the Act to be reviewed every five years. This second statutory review found that no amendments to the Act were required for it to continue to be effective. Stakeholder submissions indicated it is effectively meeting its primary objective. The review also found that the four existing designations under the Act should remain in place, ongoing monitoring of volatile substance use and the impact of low aromatic fuel should continue, the Minister should continue to pursue the rollout of low aromatic fuel through a voluntary approach using the powers under the Act as a last resort following consultation, and the National Indigenous Australians Agency should continue to explore the feasibility of a low aromatic version of premium unleaded petrol with industry partners.
