Proposed valuation for the Interstate network

On 25 November 2019, ARTC sent a letter to the ACCC stating that if the ACCC proceeds with a DORC valuation, ARTC:

• will work constructively with the ACCC's consultants appointed to undertake the DORC valuation, and
• intends to adopt that DORC valuation in the Interstate Access Undertaking with segments aligned with key traffic flows to be lodged at the completion of the ACCC’s valuation process to replace the existing undertaking due to expire on 30 June 2020.

The ACCC will engage a consultant with rail engineering and economics expertise to undertake the DORC valuation for the Interstate network.
