Integrated manager of critical Australian infrastructure with the scale to deliver strong financial growth comprising of: –The Hunter Valley “heavy-haul” coal network and –The interstate mainline network (intermodal and general freight). The company employs around 1,150 staff located at 30 regional and city based locations across Australia (operating in all mainland states). AUSTRALIA’S LARGEST RAIL FREIGHT NETWORK

4 OUTLOOK FOR RAIL IN AUSTRALIA Continued growth in freight transport market Customer preference for rail as rail-based supply chains develop and improve Focus on environmentally friendly modes of transport Modal shift towards rail due to increase in urban and non- urban congestion Positive Outlook for Rail in Australia

5 STRONG FORECAST GROWTH FOR RAIL Total Freight Estimates and Forecast Source: BITRE Note: Above data includes the Pilbara Network. Based on BITRE data, Australian rail networks have sustained domestic freight growth over several decades Since 2000 the rate of growth in rail volume has increased strongly in large part due to minerals growth and this is forecast to continue strongly over the next two decades. It is estimated that approximately one-fifth of freight rail volumes are hauled on the ARTC network Diversified range of commodities transported on the Interstate network including: –Intermodal (58%) –Steel (11%) –Minerals (9%) –Passenger (8%) –Coal (6%) –General Freight & Other (5%) –Grain (4%).

6 Opportunities Threats Rail market share in Australia Source: BITRE and ARTC estimates Industry Fundamentals Opportunities Intermodal market consists primarily of domestic freight transported between capital cities ARTC’s revenue projections are driven by the combination of –Market growth –Modal shift Historical growth is typically above GDP Market growth is expected to be aligned to GDP growth and at least in line with population growth Rail’s share of freight traffic depends on the ability of rail to compete with alternative modes such as road on major inter-capital corridors There are typically three dominant factors that influence mode for freight: –Reliability –Price –Availability Industry Fundamentals INTERMODAL: OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE MARKET SHARE

7 Rail’s linehaul costs are lower than road on all intercapital corridors Rail’s overall cost structure is significantly lower than road over long distance hauls Rail has strong market position in East to West corridors and ARTC’s strategic position is to hold market share in these corridors The combination of improved reliability and productivity positions rail to increase market share on shorter rail corridors INTERMODAL: MELBOURNE TO ADELAIDE CORRIDOR UPGRADE Short Haul Corridors ProjectDescription Grade separation project at Torrens Junction Final measure to enable 1,800m services to operate in both directions Extending Melbourne to Adelaide passing loops Extension of ten additional passing loops increases number of 1,800m services - five complete and five in progress Grade separation project at Goodwood Junction Completion of project in September 2013 enabled trains to operate at 1,800m from Melbourne New 1,800m crossing loopsConstruction of nine new crossing loops provided for commencement of 1,800m services

8 Advanced Train Management System (ATMS) is a modern communications based train control system which features real-time monitoring of train locations and speed and the ability to intervene and stop or slow the train. It improves safety, increases capacity (trains run closer together) and eliminates wayside signaling by displaying instructions in the cabin of the locomotive. Similar systems are being developed in the USA and Europe and ATMS is at least as advanced. The Federal Government has funded the project as part of their commitment to modernising and improving the efficiency and safety of the Australian Rail Industry. INTERMODAL – IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH A STATE OF THE ART TRAIN CONTROL SYSTEM

9 ATMS Progress ARTC partnered with Lockheed Martin to develop the system with the Proof of Concept completed in ATMS Implementation Stage 1 commenced in March As part of this roll out program, ARTC is undertaking extended trials between Port Augusta and Whyalla to improve reliability, increase user acceptance and minimise potential risks in preparation for future deployment. Trials will take place throughout 2015 prior to revenue service operations commencing mid The 2014 Federal Budget committed $50m of grant funding for ARTC to continue these trials and to prepare for deployment.

10 INTERMODAL: INLAND RAIL – LINKING BRISBANE TO ADELAIDE A new 1700km freight rail connection from Melbourne to Brisbane via regional NSW and QLD Inland Rail is part of an integrated solution. It allows for complete interoperability through the existing national rail freight network. It connects 5 major capital cities and 7 major export ports. It works in partnership with the logistics industry. Substantially reduces the transit time and rail operating performance between Queensland and Adelaide

11 INTERMODAL: INLAND RAIL - LINKING BRISBANE TO ADELAIDE Inland Rail Progress In November 2013 the Deputy Prime Minister The Hon. Warren Truss MP charged ARTC with developing a 10 year delivery plan for Inland Rail. Inland Rail has been progressed under the oversight of the Inland Rail Implementation Group (IR-IG), chaired by former Deputy PM, the Hon. John Anderson AO, with senior representatives from Australian, Victorian, NSW and Queensland Government Departments and the ARTC CEO ARTC has developed the Inland Rail Programme Business Case, including 10-year construction schedule, associated costing, demand estimation, and economic /financial evaluation. Economic Benefit Cost Ratio of 2.62 at a 4% discount rate. IR-IG Report and the Programme Business Case recently delivered to the Australian Government. Programme Business Case currently being considered by Infrastructure Australia.
