What does Network Access Do?

QR’s Network Access business manages access to Australia’s largest rail network.

The Australian rail industry is open to competition and in Queensland, rail operators can apply to use QR’s 9,500km of narrow gauge, standard gauge and dual gauge track. They can apply to run trains on the network’s metropolitan commuter system, the regional freight and tourist lines, the heavy haul tracks of the state’s rich coal and mineral deposits, and the interstate track between the NSW border and Brisbane.

Queensland’s vast rail network is owned by QR and supported by state of the art infrastructure and systems. The rail network is valued at some $AUD3.8 billion.

How to gain Access to QR’s 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.
