We are investigating Queensland Rail’s 2025 draft access undertaking (DAU), which will replace the current undertaking after it terminates on 30 June 2025.
We have published our draft decision, which emphasises our desire that Queensland Rail and its users reach agreed outcomes. We have also published a report on aspects of Queensland Rail’s proposed West Moreton costs and volumes, prepared for us by technical consultant Arcadis.
Our draft decision, Queensland Rail’s DAU and related documents are available below.
Request for submissions
Submissions on the draft decision are due by Tuesday 23 July 2024. We ask that stakeholders have regard to our request for agreed outcomes and submit suggested drafting of proposed amendments where possible. We intend to provide a further period to make collaborative submissions.
