Under Section 13.4 of the HVAU ARTC is required to carry out a review of the operation and effectiveness of the system wide TUT.

   1. the objectives in section 1.2 of the HVAU;
   2. the coal chain principles recognised in section 1.3 of the HVAU; and
   3. practical experience of Network and Hunter Valley Coal Chain operations and performance relevant to the operation of the TUT from the Commencement Date of the HVAU to the time of review.

ARTC has, in good faith, considered the submissions received and has completed the review.
