(i) Information about individual provisions and significant estimates

For information related to the Group’s accounting policies related to employee provisions refer

to note 21(s).

Arising from the Group’s transformation program the restructure obligation provision reflects the

redundancy costs that have been provided for and paid during the financial year. The remaining

provision of $0.550m is expected to be fully utilised over the next twelve months.

The incident provision recognises the Group’s estimate of the liability with respect to costs

associated with damage caused by incidents such as derailments, which occurred whilst using

the Group’s rail infrastructure.
