Cover Design and Desktop Publishing by Thomas Smith Cover photos Dr Anthony Ockwell Printed by National Capital P rinting, Canberra FOREWORD This report is the third in a series covering the socio–economic costs of transport accidents in Australia. Transport accidents impose a significant burden on the Australian community. Not all of their consequences can be expressed in financial terms. However, to weigh up options for minimising and dealing with this burden, it is important to know the costs of transport accidents. Transport accident costs in Australia were quantified in BTCE Report 79, Social Cost of Transport Accidents in Australia. Since then the size and distribution of aviation and road accident costs have been dealt with in more detail in BTRE Report 98, Cost of Civil Aviation Accidents and Incidents, and BTE Report 102, Road Crash Costs in Australia. This analysis covers rail accidents that occurred in Australia during 1999. The Bureau of Transport and Regional Economics acknowledges with appreciation the assistance of the rail companies, rail operators (especially page Queensland Rail and Rail Infrastructure Corporation), rail accreditation iii authorities, and rail associations (particularly the Australasian Railway Association) that provided data for the study and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau staff who provided advice throughout the study period. The research team comprised Christine Williams, Team Leader; Johnson Amoako, Principal Research Officer; Michael Simpson, Senior Research Officer; and Elizabeth Berryman, Senior Research Officer. The evaluation was supervised and directed by Dr Anthony Ockwell, Deputy Executive Director.

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.
