Whether or not you can store more than 275 litres at my home or Non-Workplace Premises depends on your current circumstances.
- Do you already have a licence to store more than 275 litres at the premises? If you do have a licence that was valid at the 1 October 2014 then it will remain valid until the licence date expires. If you continue to meet the requirements and the storage conditions have not changed, then your local Petroleum Enforcement Authority (PEA) will normally issue you with a new one.
- If you don’t currently have a licence to store more than 275 litres at the relevant non-work premises than you need to apply for one via your local Petroleum Enforcement Authority (PEA).
Your Petroleum Enforcement Authority (PEA) may attached conditions as to how the petrol is stored when granting you a licence. The length of the licence is up to 3 years and the licence will contain your name and details of where the petrol is to be stored.
