01/07/2025
Queensland Rail’s 2025 draft access undertaking (DAU) set out its proposed terms and conditions for negotiating access to its rail infrastructure after the termination of its 2020 access undertaking in June 2025. Queensland Rail lodged its 2025 DAU on 10 November 2023.
We published our decision on most aspects of the 2025 DAU on 24 March 2025, and our addendum on West Moreton access terms on 16 May 2025. Our decision documents set out the way in which we considered it was appropriate for Queensland Rail to amend the 2025 DAU.
Consultation on the updated amended DAU
On 17 June 2025, Queensland Rail lodged an updated amended 2025 DAU, in which it changed aspects of the drafting in the amended DAU it provided on 10 June 2025. We have published the updated amended 2025 DAU and invited stakeholders to make submissions on it by Wednesday 18 June 2025.
Depending on our assessment and the submissions, we may proceed directly to a final decision on the updated amended DAU.
Queensland Rail’s updated amended DAU, our notice about submissions, and all of the previous material relating to our investigation of the 2025 DAU, can be downloaded below.
