Arc Infrastructure (formerly Brookfield Rail) is the manager and operator of the State’s 5,500 kilometre open access, multi-user rail freight network extending throughout the southern half of Western Australia.
Owned by global asset management company, Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P., Arc Infrastructure is one of the few independent rail infrastructure providers in the world focused solely on below-rail infrastructure management and access provision.
Following privatisation of the State Government Railways in 2000, Brookfield Rail was awarded the exclusive long-term lease from the WA State Government to manage its rail freight network.
In 2017 the company changed its name to Arc Infrastructure.
As the only rail freight network in the southern half of Western Australia, Arc Infrastructure’s network is vital to providing access to the eastern states of Australia and overseas markets through the region’s six government-owned ports.
