Costing Principles (Part 5 Instruments)

Costing Principles establish a basis for the ERA to determine upper and lower cost bounds for each route section for price negotiations should an application for access be made.

The Railways (Access) Code 2000 was amended in 2023. The requirements for Railway Owners’ Costing Principles have changed in the amended Code. Railway Owners must have Costing Principles approved which meet the changed requirements.
