It revokes and replaces the 2008 declaration, updating the list of covered facilities.

In effect, the declaration makes the listed sites fall within the special access/competition regime set out in Part X of the Act.\n- Section 3 records the legal power used to make the declaration (subsection 10.02A(1) of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010). Section 5 revokes the earlier Instrument of Declaration of Inland Terminals 2008 and replaces it with the list in Schedule 1. The instrument commences the day after it is registered (section 2).\n\n**Who is affected**\n\n- Owners/operators of the physical sites named in Schedule 1 (rail yards, intermodal terminals, freight hubs). Once declared, those businesses are subject to the Part X framework (see section 4 + Schedule 1).\n- Customers and service users (shippers, exporters/importers, freight forwarders, rail and road operators) who use those inland terminals — they gain rights and pathways under the Part X regime to negotiate access to services and, if necessary, seek regulatory intervention.\n- The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and the courts, because Part X gives the regulator and courts roles in handling access disputes and in enforcing the Act.\n\n**Why it matters (practical effects and mechanisms)**\n\n- The instrument does not itself impose prices, standards or operational rules. Instead it brings specified inland terminals within the Part X access regime. That regime (in Part X of the Competition and Consumer Act) provides third parties with formal routes to negotiate access to services provided at declared facilities and to apply for regulatory remedies (for example arbitration or undertakings) if they cannot reach agreement. The declaration therefore changes the legal context for bargaining over access and for dispute resolution.\n\n- Who decides and who pays: the declaration is an executive act (made under subsection 10.02A(1)); the decision to declare is administrative (section 3). The direct compliance costs fall mainly on the listed facility operators (administration, possible changes to contracts, responding to access claims). Users may incur costs to bring access claims, and the ACCC will incur administrative and enforcement costs.\n\n- Incentives and trade-offs: by putting facilities under Part X, the instrument increases the bargaining power of some users (they gain statutory routes for access and dispute resolution). That can lower the risk that a single terminal operator can block access or extract terms purely by contract. The trade-off is potential increases in regulatory and transactional costs for facility operators, and increased regulatory involvement in commercial arrangements (for example negotiation and arbitration). Operators might respond by changing contractual arrangements, relocating services, or adjusting investments.\n\n- Effects on private enterprise and markets: the declaration narrows contract freedom in one practical sense — third parties gain statutory fallback options — but it does not itself set prices. It may alter competition by making it easier for multiple logistics providers to access terminal services (affecting market structure, transport routing and service offerings). It can also create scope for disputes and regulatory proceedings that affect operational certainty and investment incentives.\n\n**Other implementation considerations and risks**\n\n- Administrative clarity: the instrument’s effect depends on the substantive rules in Part X (what access remedies are available, timeframes, evidentiary burdens). Those details sit in the Act (not this instrument).\n- Concentrated benefits / diffuse costs: benefits from easier access tend to be concentrated among specific freight users who need particular terminals; compliance and procedural costs are borne by facility owners and by the regulator. This creates potential for lobbying by both user groups and facility operators.\n- Substitution and unintended consequences: declared status may lead operators to change contracting (e.g. more long‑term exclusive deals outside the scope of Part X where permitted), or to adjust pricing or investment plans. Some users may switch to alternative facilities where practical.\n\n(See section 4 (Declaration) and Schedule 1 for the full list of facilities; section 5 (Revocation) replaces the prior 2008 instrument.)"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/competition-and-consumer-inland-terminals-declaration-2017","history":"/api/acts/competition-and-consumer-inland-terminals-declaration-2017/history","analysis":"/api/acts/competition-and-consumer-inland-terminals-declaration-2017/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/competition-and-consumer-inland-terminals-declaration-2017/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/competition-and-consumer-inland-terminals-declaration-2017/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/competition-and-consumer-inland-terminals-declaration-2017/documents"}}
