There is a valve attached to your gas meter. If the handle is in line with the pipe underneath, gas is flowing from the meter to your house. You can rotate the valve 90 degrees so that it reaches a horizontal position to turn your gas off (if there is a gas leak or related issues).

Who is responsible for the gas meter?

Gas distributors, such as the Australian Gas Network are responsible for maintenance and work on the gas meter and the gas distribution network (the pipes and mains that connect to your gas meter from the street). Gas retailers take the meter readings, but are not responsible for meter repairs or maintenance. View the list of Australian authorised gas retailers here.

As the property owner, you are responsible for all the piping downstream (away) from your gas meter to your appliances. You are also responsible for the gas appliance themselves, and their associated fittings (flues/ducts etc). If a gas leak occurs in the piping between your gas meter and your appliances, you should contact a licensed gas fitter to arrange a repair, such as the team at Expert Plumbing (03) 9486 5907.
