Aurizon operates a coal network made up of approximately 2,670 kilometres of heavy haul rail infrastructure in Central Queensland. 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. Aurizon 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 Aurizon 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, as well as intermodal freight across the nation. Aurizon’s business comprises four major product lines – Coal, Iron Ore, Intermodal & Bulk and Network. The Company’s performance and future growth is linked to the key demand drivers of the Australian resources sector and ongoing strength of the Australian economy.

Over the last year we have continued to focus on shareholder wealth, cost reductions and improving efficiency for long-term growth. In December 2012, QR National adopted the new name Aurizon. Aurizon is a combination of Australia and horizon. The new name conveys the geographical scope of the Company’s operations as well as the long-term growth opportunities on the horizon and beyond. At Aurizon we strive to be a world class company that global investors want to invest in; a company that values its people and keeps them safe; and, that delivers outstanding service to customers with rail and road transportation services in the coal, iron ore and bulk freight markets. The Board regularly reviews the Company strategy. Significant work has been undertaken to better define and articulate Aurizon’s three strategic pillars to success: 1. Developing a world class core business 2. Operating, developing and integrating bulk supply chains 3. Maximising the value of freight and logistics. The first pillar of this strategy is all about achieving the core capabilities and level of performance to put us among the world’s best. These are fundamental drivers of company performance, including having a competitive cost base; a safety and performance-driven culture; deep engagement with our customers; and strength in technology. The second pillar means we will leverage our core business and competitive strengths to take advantage of medium to long-term growth opportunities. Good examples can be seen in the business development work we’re doing in the Image: Linkin Quakawoot and Kaio Kris manual welding on the Northern Missing Link Project Bowen and Galilee Basins, the Hunter Valley and iron ore in the Pilbara, Western Australia.

INTRODUCTION Excavated slopes in open pit coal mines are designed to be as steep as possible consistent with stability and safety requirements. Slope failures occur for many reasons, including oversteepening. This paper is concerned with slope design and excavation experience in the Bowen Basin coalfields of central Queensland (Figure 1), Bowen Basin Coalfields Figure 1 Location of Bowen Basin open pit coal mines in eastern Australia Page 31 The South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy International Symposium on Stability of Rock Slopes in Open Pit Mining and Civil Engineering John V Simmons and Peter J Simpson but it deals with many issues that are common to open pit coal mining generally. After more than three decades of operational experience and technological advances in the Bowen Basin mines, sudden rock slope failures still occur in circumstances where personnel and equipment are at extreme risk. The circumstances of a selection of these sudden failures are reviewed in this paper, and some concerning trends emerge. Classical structurally-controlled slope failures occur quite rarely in the Bowen Basin, but rock mass structures appear to exert important controls on the sudden failures that are more widely experienced. The term "composite" is used in this paper to describe failures involving combinations of intact rock material fracture and shear movement on defects (Baczynski, 2000).

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.
