A Consulting Question..Does this Comply?

I had this question come in from a 'J' who lives in Melbourne. I dont know the regs in Victoria but surely this one is ok for a natural Gas BBQ?

'I had a mains pipe build into my wall for an outside mains gas bbq.  However when it came time to put one in I was told the position was too close to the kitchen window and garage normal door. (not a roller door, just an entry

door).    The area does not have a roof.  it is a bricked patio.  The Garage wall and kitchen wall and window form an L shape.  What are the requirements for a mains gas bbq position?  Would appreciate your reply.  Many thanks 'J'

I live in Melbourne'

I referred her to Victoria's Energy Safety Dept.
