Not much. It won’t even affect your gas stovetops until such times as you renovate – and even then. These restrictions are on new kitchens in new buildings.

But you can expect to see “progressive” individual buildings move towards grand-fathering existing gas barbecues but insisting on electric ones when the old one is replaced or a new owner comes in.

Can they do that? If your barbecue is on your balcony (in NSW) then it’s effectively on common property and the strata committee can determine what is allowed or not allowed.

There is little logic, to any of this, however. Everybody is getting (rightly) het up about cigarette smoke, yet we are allowed to fill our neighbours’ flats with the stink and fumes for burning meat (also carcinogenic). Barbecues are sacrosanct so I wouldn’t worry too much.

You can use bottled gas for a BBQ. Our site has a lot of trees so we always have more than enough wood for a communal wood-fired pizza oven and BBQ.

This is excellent news. For those who do not agree, I suggest you read “The Big Switch” by Saul Griffith. We need to transform our infrastructure, update our grid and adapt our households. So it is essential to move residences away from fossil fuelled heating and cooking as fast as possible. It’s a no-brainer to commit to this for new builds.

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
