GAPE Newlands pricing DAAU

Aurizon Network submitted a draft amending access undertaking (the initial GAPE and Newlands pricing DAAU) in September 2022 that sought amendments—including adjustments to relevant reference tariffs—to address ongoing issues arising from the Goonyella to Abbot Point expansion (GAPE) project.

On 14 February 2023, Aurizon Network withdrew its initial GAPE and Newlands pricing DAAU, following publication of our preliminary considerations.

On 6 April 2023, Aurizon Network submitted a new draft amending access undertaking (the April 2023 GAPE and Newlands pricing DAAU), which seeks to address the issues raised in our preliminary considerations and proposes changes to the application of private incremental costs (PIC) discounts.

On 24 August 2023, we published a draft decision on the April 2023 GAPE and Newlands pricing DAAU and invited written submissions from interested parties. We have extended the submission period by one week. Submissions are now due by 6 October 2023.
