Building near the railway

Working in and around the rail corridor by non-rail organisations

If you are outside the rail industry and want to work in or near the rail corridor, the sections below describe how to get started and contact RailCorp so we can help you design, plan and carry out your work safely and without effecting rail operations.

There is no charge for initial enquiries, however, all RailCorp work thereafter is at your cost.

Getting started

View the information and application package containing all the information you need to apply for permission to carry out non-rail work in and around the rail corridor.

You may also refer to our engineering standards.

Please note that entering railway property or interfering with rail assets including gates and fences without permission, is an offence.
