Extension of the 2008 Interstate Access Undertaking (to 31 December 2024)

On 7 May 2024 the ACCC sent a letter to stakeholders seeking comments on ARTC's proposal to extend the term of the Interstate Access Undertaking to the earlier of: 

• 31 December 2024, or
• 21 days after the acceptance by the ACCC of ARTC’s proposed 2024 IAU as submitted on 12 December 2023. 

The extension is intended to provide sufficient time for consultation on ARTC’s proposed replacement undertaking. It will also ensure there is no uncertainty for users as to whether the statutory assessment processes will be finalised before the existing undertaking would have expired on 30 June 2024.

Submissions were due 5.00 pm (AEST) Wednesday, 22 May 2024.
