All track Possessions require a systematic and coordinated planning process, the aim of which is to optimise the availability and the efficiency of infrastructure work groups to gain access to the rail network, whilst minimising the operational impact to stakeholders.
Possessions that affect, or have the potential to affect, train running must be requested in accordance with this procedure, with the exemption of Emergency and Urgent Possessions.
In many instances, extensive consultation with internal and external stakeholders is required. Due diligence is essential as each entity is bound by their own internal governance, local regulations and State laws.
Stakeholders include, but are not limited to, the following:
• ARTC internal parties;
• Interfacing Rail Infrastructure Maintainers (RIMs) including John Holland Country Rail Network
(CRN), Sydney Trains, V/Line, Queensland Rail, Arc Infrastructure;
• Above-Rail Operators;
• Third Party Projects; and
• External Parties.
