62—Interface coordination—rail transport operators

        (1)         A rail transport operator must—

            (a)         identify and assess, so far as is reasonably practicable, risks to safety that may arise from railway operations carried out by or on behalf of the operator because of, or partly because of, railway operations carried out by or on behalf of any other rail transport operator; and

            (b)         determine measures to manage, so far as is reasonably practicable, those risks; and

            (c)         for the purpose of managing those risks—seek to enter into an interface agreement with the other rail transport operator or rail transport operators.

Maximum penalty:

            (a)         where the offender is a body corporate—$300 000;

            (b)         where the offender is a natural person—$100 000.

        (2)         Except to the extent that the regulations otherwise provide, subsection (1)(c) does not apply if none of the rail transport operators is a rail infrastructure manager.
