Table 4.2 (Continued) a List excludes a number of smaller lateral pipelines. Sources: AEMO (2016b, p. 18); AER (2015, p. 112, 2017b, pp. 72–73); APA web site. Distribution networks Gas distribution networks transport natural gas from transmission pipelines to end users. They typically consist of a backbone of high and medium pressure pipelines running between the ‘city gate’ (the point of connection to the transmission pipeline) and major demand centres. This network then uses lowpressure pipelines to deliver the gas to retail customers (businesses and homes).
