In the 2007 Interstate Access Undertaking, ARTC’s proposal to value its asset base, for pricing purposes, using the Depreciation Optimised Replacement Cost (DORC) methodology has been accepted by the ACCC. ARTC has submitted a DORC valuation of its Network at that time, carried out by independent consultants, Booz& Co. This valuation has been accepted by the ACCC.

With respect to the coverage of the Southern Sydney Freight Line under the 2013 Interstate Access Undertaking, ARTC proposed a project cost of $1.035bn for the Southern Sydney Freight Line. In its decision to accept the variation to cover the Southern Sydney Freight Line, the ACCC indicated that it has not assessed the prudency of the project cost of the Southern Sydney Freight Line, and has not approved the project cost as a DORC for inclusion in the regulatory asset base under the 2013 Interstate Access Undertaking.
