The ACCC proposes to publish a NBN Wholesale Market Indicators report which would provide, on a quarterly basis, visibility over the development of the wholesale market for NBN access services.

On 29 November 2022, NBN Co lodged a variation to its Special Access Undertaking (SAU) with the ACCC.

The 2011 Hunter Valley Coal Network Access Undertaking (HVAU) requires the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) to send documents to the ACCC for an annual compliance assessment. As part of this assessment, we examine ARTC's operating costs, including overheads.

The ACCC made the Audit of Telecommunications Infrastructure Assets record keeping rule in December 2007. The record keeping rule requires specified carriers to report on the locations of their core network and customer access network (CAN) infrastructure.

On 26 August 2022 Bulk Cargo Services Pty Ltd applied to the ACCC seeking to be determined an exempt service provider of port terminal services at its port terminal facility at Pinkenba, Queensland.

ARTC submitted its annual compliance documentation for calendar years 2019 and 2020 to the ACCC for assessment on 26 November 2021.

On 19 July 2021 the ACCC commenced a public inquiry to make a final access determination for the superfast broadband access service (SBAS) following its decision to declare the service.

The ACCC completed a review of the indicators the ACCC uses in monitoring and evaluating the quality of services and facilities at Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney airports.

We are running a public inquiry to monitor prices, profits and margins in the supply of electricity in the national energy market.

The ACCC is proposing to develop a new record keeping rule (RKR) to collect service quality and network performance information from NBN Co and in the future other superfast broadband network providers.
