National Network for Interoperability

Through the National Rail Action Plan (NRAP), the NTC along with industry and governments has developed the National Network for Interoperability (NNI).
  
The NNI identifies the interstate freight and passenger lines between Australia’s major ports, regions and passenger terminals.
  
An interactive version of the map shows the individual networks which make up these corridors, and the organisations which manage them. It also shows the important interfaces between networks where getting alignment is crucial to helping rail play a bigger role in the country’s economy.

Much of Australia’s national rail reform aims to improve productivity, safety and sustainability on these key national rail corridors.

This includes changes to Rail Safety National Law (RSNL) regulations which require rail transport operators on the NNI to consider national interoperability when planning changes to their railway operations.

If interoperability matters are identified, an Interoperability Management Plan will be required.

The NNI is live and will be updated regularly as freight and passenger networks expand and evolve.
