Access to our Interstate Network

Access to ARTC Interstate Network is regulated via an access undertaking with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). Known as the Interstate Access Undertaking, this document sets out ARTC’s obligations to entities seeking access to the Network.

The NSW Rail Access Undertaking applies to those parts of the NSW rail network leased by ARTC that are not covered by the 2024 Interstate Access Undertaking or the Hunter Valley Access Undertaking.

On 28 December 2024, the 2024 Interstate Access Undertaking commenced.

As part of its Interstate Access Undertaking, ARTC is committed to publishing a number of documents and diagrams.
