Rail Infrastructure (Rail Infrastructure Manager) Revocation Order 2009

Rail Infrastructure (Rail Infrastructure Manager) Revocation Order 2009

This is a Tasmanian government administrative order that formally cancels (revokes) a previous designation of a Rail Infrastructure Manager under Tasmanian rail law.

What does this mean in plain terms?

• In Tasmania, the law requires a specific organisation to be officially appointed as the Rail Infrastructure Manager — the body responsible for managing and overseeing Tasmania's rail network infrastructure (tracks, signals, etc.).
• This order simply withdraws that appointment, effectively removing whoever was previously designated from that role.
• It is a housekeeping/administrative instrument, not a substantive new law.

Who does this affect?

• The organisation that was previously appointed as Rail Infrastructure Manager (they lose their official status and responsibilities).
• Rail operators in Tasmania who deal with the infrastructure manager for access to the rail network.
• Tasmanian government agencies responsible for rail oversight.
• Everyday Tasmanians are largely unaffected directly, though changes to rail management can indirectly affect freight and public transport services.

Why does it matter?

Without a designated Rail Infrastructure Manager, the legal framework for managing access to Tasmania's rail network is disrupted until a new appointment is made. This type of order typically accompanies or precedes the appointment of a replacement manager.
