non PC-generated submissions will be scanned by
Commission staff and automatically converted to .pdf;

● all submissions will be published on the Commission’s
web site (the Commission recognises that there
will be instances where information may genuinely
be confidential. The Commission requires parties
where at all possible to provide a “public version” of
confidential material, which at least conveys the
thrust of the material (or argument) without disclosing
sensitive information. This public version should be
given to the Commission when an application for
confidentiality of that information is sought); and

● submissions must show the organisation’s name and
address, date and be duly signed. In the case of
personal submissions, a contact address and telephone
number is required, and the submission is to be
signed with the submitter’s name printed beneath
the signature. Personal submissions will have their
contact address and telephone number removed for
the purpose of publishing on the Commission’s web
site, as only their name will be disclosed.

Hard copies of submissions should be mailed to:
Gas Pipelines Inquiry
Commerce Commission
P.O. Box 2351
