QR Network has strengthened provisions guaranteeing open and equitable access to the state’s coal rail network in its 2010 Draft Access Undertaking that was lodged with the Queensland Competition Authority (QCA) today.
Treasurer Andrew Fraser says QR is on the hunt for 800 more workers in the Mackay/Bowen/Townsville region to help build the $1.1 billion Goonyella to Abbot Point Expansion Project (GAP).
QR has started tracklaying to duplicate 10.5 kilometres of track between Coppabella and Ingsdon on the Goonyella coal rail system in central Queensland to support customer demand.
Flooding in the central west and north west of the state continues to have an impact on a number of QR rail lines.
