Applying for Access
Rail operators and other access seekers interested in using the network must negotiate most aspects of their proposed operations through QR National Network.
Every application for access is handled under a process set down in the Access Undertaking. The process is approved by competition regulator, the Queensland Competition Authority, and includes requirements and timeframes.
Application for access to the rail network must be submitted in the format of an Access Application. It is a ten part process, involving the four steps of application, review, negotiation and approval.
