Network Access & Management
Aurizon Network is responsible for providing, maintaining and managing access to our rail network and associated rail infrastructure. Our rail network totals 2,300 kilometres. Every application
for access to our rail network is managed under a detailed process approved by competition regulator, the Queensland Competition Authority.
Rail operators who are accredited by Queensland Transport and have an access agreement with Aurizon Network may access our rail network. Access seekers who have an access agreement with Aurizon Network have access to Aurizon Network's rail network through the use of an accredited rail operator.
Rail operators and other access seekers interested in using the coal rail system network must negotiate most aspects of their proposed operations through Network.
Every application for access is handled under a process set down in the Access Undertaking, which defines the regime for open access to our rail infrastructure. The process is approved by competition regulator, the Queensland Competition Authority and includes requirements and timeframes.
