Document Summary:
Central Queensland Coal Network - Model Access Agreement Coal
Document Details:
The Central Queensland Coal Network is operated and managed by Aurizon Network Pty Ltd (Aurizon). It is the largest coal rail network in Australia and comprises four major coal systems (Blackwater, Moura, Goonyella, Newlands). The heavy haul rail infrastructure is used almost exclusively for mine to port transport.
Model Access Agreement Coal - Agreement between Aurizon and the Access Holder (Pacific National) who then sub-contracts the operation of trains to an accredited railway operator. The Access Holder is granted the non-exclusive right for the operation of coal trains on a specific part of the coal network through an accredited railway operator against the payment of access charges. Aurizon is responsible for the infrastructure management as well as the scheduling and control of all train movements. The Access Holder must ensure that coal trains are operated with authorized rolling stock and must cause the railway operator to use reasonable endeavors to comply with scheduled times of the relevant train schedule.
