This Act has a purpose. The purpose is to make sure utility operators and corridor managers follow a national code of practice. This code regulates access to transport corridors, and the Act also allows for the creation and management of this code.
You can think of utility operators as companies that manage things like power lines or water pipes. Corridor managers are people who oversee areas like roads or railways. The national code of practice is like a set of rules that these operators and managers must follow.
The Act is in place to ensure that these rules are made and managed properly, so that access to transport corridors is safe and well-organised. This helps to keep you and your community safe, and makes sure that important services like power and water are available when you need them.
