Rail Transport
Auslink
AusLink is the Australian Government's policy for improved planning and accelerated development of Australia's land transport infrastructure. It will revolutionise the planning and funding of Australia's national roads, railways and inter-modal terminals by taking a long-term, strategic approach to future needs.
Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC)
The Australian Rail Track Corporation Ltd (ARTC) was created after the Australian and State governments agreed in 1997 to the formation of a 'one stop' shop for all operators seeking access to the National interstate rail network. ARTC currently has responsibility for the management of 4430 route kilometres of standard gauge interstate track, mainly in South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia.
Rail Safety
The ATSB conducts rail safety investigations on the Defined Interstate Rail Network. The investigation role is linked to the ATSB's objective of safe transport, focuses on national outcomes, and is independent of industry and Governments' regulatory role.
