Cockatoo and Stanmore are seeking authorisation to collectively negotiate terms and conditions, including price, with the Surat Basin Rail joint venture for access to the Surat Basin rail line. The proposed link would connect Queensland's western rail system about 7km from Wondoan with the Moura system near Banana. The rail system would connect Surat Basin coal mines to the export supply chain for the first time. Both Cockatoo and Stanmore are participating in the expansion of the Port of Gladstone's Wiggins Island terminal, which will provide export service to the Surat Basin rail line.
