Victorian Fuel Reforms – Regulatory Impact Statement

Sapere was engaged by the Victorian Department of Government Services to prepare a Regulatory Impact Statement for Phase 1 of the Victorian Government’s Fair Fuel Plan.

Under Phase 1 of the Fair Fuel Plan, it will be mandatory for all Victorian fuel retailers to provide real time pricing data to be published through a new fuel finder feature on the Service app.

The fuel finder feature on the Service Victora app is intended to provide up to date and readily accessible information to enable Victorian consumers to compare prices of fuel before purchasing.

The RIS considered the different options that could achieve the Victorian Government’s objectives for Phase 1 of the reforms including non-legislative options and approaches in other jurisdictions. The RIS has been published for public consultation during June 2025.

The report was written by David Graham, Sally Carrick and Richard Tooth.
