• To vary the railway operations to be carried out in the registered private siding(s);
• To add or remove a private siding from its registration; or
• Any other changes in relation to the registered private siding(s) that should be reflected in its registration.

How to apply

To apply for a Variation of Registration it is recommended that applicants first contact ONRSR to discuss requirements via the Initiate Interest to Apply for Variation of Registration Form - link provided below. An ONRSR representative will be in touch to discuss the nature and scope of operations within three (3) business days of submission of the form.

Following that discussion and confirmation of the intended railway operations an application form will be provided to formally start the process.

Assessment

When assessing an application for Variation of Registration under Section 87 of the RSNL, ONRSR must be satisfied:

• That the applicant is the manager of the private siding; and
• That the railway operations to be carried out (or continue to be carried out) in the private siding are such that registration of the applicant (rather than accreditation) is the appropriate action.
