If you run a café, restaurant, workshop, or accommodation business in Noosa, your gas system plays a big role in keeping things running smoothly. From cooking and heating to hot water and production, gas systems are efficient, reliable, and cost-effective when designed correctly.

But when they’re not? Poorly designed or installed commercial gas setups can cause inefficiencies, safety hazards, or even business downtime.

At Gas Services QLD, we work with Noosa businesses to design, install, and maintain compliant gas systems that keep your operations safe, efficient, and fully compliant with Queensland regulations.

1️⃣ Choose the Right System for Your Business

Every business is different — what works for a café may not suit a manufacturing workshop. When planning your commercial gas setup, consider:

• • Usage patterns: How often and how heavily will your gas equipment be used?

  • Appliance type: Commercial kitchens often use high-output burners, while workshops may require heating systems or process equipment. Depending on the type of equiptment being installed, you may require a type B gas installer – we can help you to determine this.

  • Gas source: Understand your usage requirements so that the system can be sized correctly and set up to supply you with enough gas.

A licensed gas fitter can help calculate your business’s total gas load and design a system that safely delivers the pressure and flow your equipment needs.

2️⃣ Plan for Compliance and Safety

All commercial gas installations in Queensland must meet strict safety standards under the Gas Supply Act 2003 and the AS/NZS 5601 Gas Installations Standard.

Some key points to ensure compliance include:

• • Using only licensed gas fitters for installation, repairs, and servicing.

  • Ensuring proper ventilation for all gas appliances.

  • Installing isolation valves and emergency shut-offs where required.

  • Keeping detailed compliance and test certificates for all work.

Not only is this legally required — it also protects your staff, customers, and business reputation.

3️⃣ Prioritise Regular Servicing and Testing

Even the best systems need maintenance. Regular inspections can identify small issues before they become costly problems.

We recommend:

• • Annual servicing for all commercial gas appliances.

  • Pressure testing and leak detection checks.

  • Cleaning burners, filters, and flue outlets.

  • Reviewing any changes to equipment or gas usage.

Routine servicing keeps your business compliant and ensures your system runs efficiently year-round — saving you both downtime and money.

4️⃣ Think About Future Growth

Your gas setup should support your business now and in the future. If you plan to expand, upgrade kitchen equipment, or add more appliances, discuss scalability during the design phase.

At Gas Services QLD, we can design systems that allow for additional appliances or capacity down the line — saving you from costly redesigns later.

5️⃣ Work with Local Experts
