2009-10 Costing manual

On 15 April 2011, Queensland Rail Ltd (QRail) wrote to the Authority proposing amendments to its costing manual. The amendments are designed to allow QRail to finalise its regulatory financial reports for the 2009-10 financial year given the circumstances where QRail did not trade during that year, as the business did not exist as a separate entity until the final minutes of June 2010.

The Authority considered those proposed amendments, under its powers in sections 159 and 160 of the Queensland Competition Authority Act 1997 (the QCA Act).

On 21 April 2011, the Authority approved the proposed changes to the costing manual as they are consistent with the QCA Act and provide for an appropriate regulatory financial report by QRail given the unusual circumstances of the 2009-10 financial year.
