to my own question. The date stamped on the bottle is the date it was last tested. The bottle can be refilled for 10 years after that date, so after 10 years the bottle needs retesting.
I'm in the gas industry and the test date is always 10 years after the stamped date. All gas outlets are opligated to take out of test bottles and swap them. Bunnings is part of Wesfarmers as is Kleenheat.
Out of test bottles are then tested and restamped and put back into service if there are no problems.

If you read the fine print at
If you read the fine print at Bunnings it does say that your bottle must be in test. Sometimes they check.

Why, it's not broken
why replace it. The expiry of the filling date is 04/12.

What does it cost?
a test would be about 30 or 40 dollars a new 9kg bottle about 50 seems like a no brainer to me
