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 Operator Access Agreement Coal – Agreement where the operator of coal trains contracts directly with Aurizon to acquire access rights. The operator is granted a non-exclusive right for the operation of coal trains on a specific part of the coal network 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 operator must operate coal trains with authorized rolling stock and in accordance with the applicable scheduled times as detailed in the relevant train schedule.
