Treasury is responsible for policy development and implementation of third party access arrangements in Queensland. Under Clause 6 of the Competition Principles Agreement, each State or Territory has the option of establishing its own regime(s) for access by third parties to services provided by means of significant infrastructure facilities, or allowing the regime(s) established by the Commonwealth to apply.
In Queensland, access to the services provided by electricity and gas pipeline infrastructure is governed by the respective uniform national access codes for these industries. Access to services provided by other facilities is governed by either Part 5 of the Queensland Competition Authority Act 1997 or Part IIIA of the Trade Practices Act 1974.
The services which have been declared under the Queensland Competition Authority Act 1997 are:
- the rail transportation service provided by the use of Queensland Rail's track infrastructure; and
- the coal loading and unloading services provided by the use of the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal.
