VicTrack is the trading name of Victorian Rail Track Corporation, a Victorian Government state-owned enterprise which owns all railway and tram lines, associated rail lands and other related rail-related infrastructure in the state of Victoria, Australia, with the exception of the heritage Puffing Billy Railway that is owned by the Emerald Tourist Railway Board.
VicTrack leases railway and tram land used for public transport to Public Transport Victoria which then sub-leases railway assets and infrastructure to Australian Rail Track Corporation, Metro Trains Melbourne, V/Line and tram assets to Yarra Trams. VicTrack retains responsibility for the freight lines around the Dynon Intermodal Freight Terminal, South Dynon Locomotive Depot and in North Melbourne.
VicTrack also carries out a range of commercial activities on railway land including:
In 2015, the State Government formed the Level Crossing Removal Authority to oversee the removal of 50 of the most dangerous and congested level crossings on the Melbourne railway network by 2023, 20 of worst of them by 2018. VicTrack works with the Victorian Government on the upgrade of rail level crossings.
The Transport Integration Act 2010 provides that VicTrack's primary object is "to act as the custodial owner of the State's transport-related land, infrastructure and assets" consistent with the vision statement in the Act and objectives which emphasise transport integration and sustainability. The Act also states that VicTrack's activities should be primarily directed at supporting the transport system and other purposes which support Government policy.
