  PART 1--INTRODUCTION

   1.      Short title [see Note 1]  

   2.      Commencement [see Note 1]  

Any large city depends on its public transport system. It connects people to work, to services, and to each other. For these reasons, many governments  are closely involved in public transport policy and operations in their jurisdictions. 

In 1999, in pursuit of greater efficiency and service quality, the (then)  Victorian Government split Melbourne’s train and tram system into 5 franchises. It conducted a competitive tender for each franchise, and awarded them to 3 private sector franchisees for periods of between 12-15 years. 

The model agreement is prepared for a railway link from a mining area to a port. Predominant usage of rail network is for transport of coal but non-coal users are also granted access.

ARTC grants the Operator the right to use its railway network and to provide services to the Access Holder on the terms and conditions of this agreement and the Access Holder Agreement.

Australian Interstate Network – Significant parts of the Australian interstate network are managed and operated by the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC).

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.  

More information on railway regulation in Queensland is available on the website of the Queensland Competition Authority.
