Rail Access Framework
For tourist and heritage rail and other third party operators seeking access to the Tasmanian Rail Network, there is now a clear and transparent pathway to operate on both the operational and non-operational lines.
Tasmanian Rail Access Framework Policy
Tasmania’s Rail Access Framework provides the mechanism by which the Tasmanian Govermnent implements the principles of the National Access regime and Competition Principles Agreement. These principles ensure that third party operators are able to negotiate for access to monopoly infrastructure, including the Tasmanian Rail Network.
Access Undertaking
TasRail is committed to working co-operatively and transparently with third party Above Rail operators seeking access to one or more operational sections of the Tasmanian Rail Network.
Network Infrastructure Principles
The role of TasRail (as the Below Rail operator) is to manage the requirements of all Above rail operators in a way that maximises the utility of the railway network for its users, which includes giving priority to freight, works and other users (in that order).
