Each day the Company moves thousands of tonnes of coal, iron ore and other minerals as well as agricultural and general freight around the nation. QR National operates and manages a coal network made up of approximately 2,300km of heavy haul rail infrastructure. The Company also provides a range of specialist services in rail design, engineering, construction, management and maintenance, and offers large-scale supply chain solutions to a diverse range of customers Australia-wide. QR National has played a critical role in the economic development and growth of the minerals-rich state of Queensland, providing the transport backbone for one of the world’s largest coal supply chains. Over recent years QR National has extended its business focus beyond its Queensland heritage and applied its expertise and capabilities to coal and iron ore opportunities in New South Wales and Western Australia. QR National comprises three separate but integrated operating businesses – Coal, Freight and Network Services. QR National Coal is the world’s largest rail transporter of coal from mine to port for export markets and transports approximately 200 million tonnes of coal per annum. QR National Network Services operates and manages the Central Queensland Coal Network, which is the largest export coal rail network in Australia and comprises the major coal systems in Queensland’s Bowen Basin. It is also one of the largest rollingstock maintenance and manufacturing businesses in the Southern Hemisphere. QR National Freight transports approximately 60 million tonnes per annum of bulk minerals and commodities including iron ore, agricultural products, mining and industrial inputs and general and containerised freight. The business is Australia’s largest iron ore haulier outside of Western Australia’s Pilbara region. QR National’s performance and future growth is linked to the key demand drivers of the Australian resources sector. As a result, the Company is well placed to benefit from the expected growth in demand for coal and iron ore, particularly from emerging Asian economies such as China and India.

Essential Services Commission. This publication is copyright. No part may be reproduced by any process except in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968 and the permission of the Essential Services Commission. CHAIRPERSON’S INTRODUCTION The Rail Management Act 1996 (RMA) sets out the Victorian rail access regime that applies to providers of declared rail infrastructure. The RMA prescribes that the Commission is responsible for administering the Victorian rail access regime. Through Declaration Orders, the Victorian Government determines which infrastructure services are subject to be declared for access. The Victorian regional rail network is declared for access and V/Line is the operator and access provider for this rail network. Under the RMA, V/Line must at all times have an approved access arrangement in place with the Commission. Access arrangements encourage competition and efficiency in the rail freight industry by allowing access seekers (i.e. freight operators) to negotiate access to certain declared infrastructure provided by access providers (i.e. V/Line) in order to enable freight operators to compete in markets where competition is dependent on such access. On 30 March 2012, the Commission received an application from V/Line to renew its access arrangement. On 5 April 2012, the Commission published a notice in the Melbourne Age and Herald Sun newspapers regarding V/Line’s application and undertook a stakeholder consultation process whereby stakeholders and the public were invited to make a submission regarding the application.
