2010 Access Undertaking Amendments + Activities

QR Network's 2010 access undertaking came into effect on 1 October 2010 and is due to expire in 2013. The access undertaking sets out the terms and conditions under which QR Network will provide access to rail infrastructure covered by the undertaking. It also sets out the process required for an access seeker to negotiate access to the infrastructure and how any disputes in relation to access are to be resolved.

Over the course of the undertaking, QR Network is obliged to undertake a number of activities, some of which will require the Authority's approval (e.g. annual approval of capital expenditure and volume re-forecasts).

QR Network can also seek to amend the approved undertaking through the process set out in the Queensland Competition Authority Act 1997 (the QCA Act). The Authority will consult with stakeholders prior to making a decision on any such applications.

QR Network's name changed to Aurizon Network on 3 December 2012.
