In consultation with its shippers, Vector Gas Limited (Vector) developed a process for considering change requests and appeals under the VTC. 91¾«Æ· and Vector have incorporated that process into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) setting out, in detail, the process that 91¾«Æ· will follow when considering appeals.

On 3 September 2013, 91¾«Æ· issued the Final Recommendation on the 27 November 2012 VTC Change Request. The Final Recommendation is to support the Change Request. However, some matters raised in submissions are beyond the scope of 91¾«Æ·'s VTC appeals body role but within it's broader role as 'industry body' under the Gas Act. These issues are addressed in a Note accompanying the Final Recommendation.
