Connecting Infrastructure Clause Samples
The Connecting Infrastructure clause defines the responsibilities and requirements for establishing and maintaining the physical and technical links necessary to connect a project or facility to external networks or utilities, such as power, water, or telecommunications. This clause typically outlines which party is responsible for constructing, upgrading, or paying for the infrastructure needed to ensure proper connectivity, and may specify standards, timelines, or coordination with third-party providers. Its core function is to allocate responsibility and ensure that all necessary connections are in place for the project to operate as intended, thereby preventing delays or disputes over infrastructure provision.
Connecting Infrastructure. Aurizon Network construction
(a) This clause 7 applies if Aurizon Network is responsible for the planning, design and construction of the Connecting Infrastructure (as specified in Item 5 of Schedule 1).
(b) (i) Aurizon Network will design, construct, project manage and commission the Connecting Infrastructure, at the cost of the Private Infrastructure Owner, in accordance with the terms of the separate construction agreement between the Parties (Construction Agreement), subject to compliance with the terms of this clause 7.
Connecting Infrastructure. Private Infrastructure Owner construction
(a) This clause 6 applies if the Private Infrastructure Owner is responsible for the planning, design and construction of the Connecting Infrastructure (as specified in Item 5 of Schedule 1).
(b) To enable the Private Infrastructure Owner to plan, design, construct and otherwise carry out the construction of the Connecting Infrastructure, Aurizon Network must, promptly following a written request from the Private Infrastructure Owner, provide all information and assistance reasonably requested by the Private Infrastructure Owner, at the Private Infrastructure Owner's reasonable and prudent cost, so that the Connecting Infrastructure satisfies the minimum technical, engineering and safety standards required to connect the Private Infrastructure to the Network, including:
(i) the provision of technical and engineering information in relation to the Network, including all information relating to the design specifications, infrastructure standards and scope of the rail infrastructure adjacent to the Private Infrastructure or to which the Private Infrastructure will connect;
(ii) advice in connection with the design specifications, infrastructure standards and the scope of the rail infrastructure for the coal system which the Private Infrastructure Owner is developing;
(iii) providing access to planning procedures developed and maintained by Aurizon Network which would reasonably have an impact on the operation of Train Services using the Connecting Infrastructure including any planned or anticipated upgrades or augmentation of the Network;
(iv) the provision of information relating to any capacity analysis associated with the Private Infrastructure and Connecting Infrastructure, including capacity modelling assumptions and modelled simulation outputs required for planning and design purposes; and
(v) reasonable access to employees, agents and officers of Aurizon Network who have knowledge of the Network, in particular of the matters identified in clauses 6(b)(i) to (iv).
(c) (i) Prior to commencing construction of the Connecting Infrastructure, the Private Infrastructure Owner may submit the Design to Aurizon Network for approval in accordance with this clause 6(c). Any such submission must be accompanied by details of the Train Services the Private Infrastructure Owner anticipates entering and/or exiting the Network via the Connecting Infrastructure.
Connecting Infrastructure. [Parties to select clauses 6.
Connecting Infrastructure. [Parties to select clause 6.1-6.3 if Owner is constructing the Connecting Infrastructure or clause 6.4 if QR Network is constructing the Connecting Infrastructure, and delete the non-applicable clauses. If the Connecting Infrastructure has already been constructed by the Owner at the time of this Agreement all of clauses 6.
Connecting Infrastructure. [Parties to select clauses 6.1-6.3 if the Owner is constructing the Connecting Infrastructure or clause 6.4 if Aurizon Network is constructing the Connecting Infrastructure, and delete the non-applicable clauses. If the Connecting Infrastructure has already been constructed by the Owner at the time of this Agreement all of clauses 6.1-6.4 should be deleted. The choice made will necessitate a degree of renumbering within clause 6 and consequential amendments to cross-references elsewhere in this Agreement to clauses within clause 6.
