Access Seekers

An open access regime applies to the corridor, whereby rail operators have the opportunity to negotiate access to the railway infrastructure between Tarcoola and Darwin through the AustralAsia Railway (Third Party Access) Code.

The code sets out the rights and responsibilities of above-rail operators as access seekers and the below-rail service provider as the access provider, and covers matters such as the negotiation process, dispute resolution, and terms and conditions of access.

Rail operators looking to access the Tarcoola–Darwin railway are required to save, complete and return the Access Application Form as directed.
