- David_Marchant_(businessman) abstract "David Marchant AM (born November 1954) is an Australian executive with extensive experience in the transport industry. He built upon the business revolution that occurred within the Australian railways during the 1990s focusing on better railway management and more efficient operations.After working in legal and executive roles for the public and private sector, Marchant was appointed in June 1998 the inaugural Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC), created through the retention of the Federal government's Track Access Unit in November 1997 after the division and sale of Australian National's business assets. The ARTC was conceived as a 'one-stop shop' for train operators seeking access to the interstate network. The ARTC commenced a five-year lease on the Victorian interstate tracks from VicTrack in July 1999, which gave it control over the interstate rail network from Albury and Broken Hill through to Kalgoorlie. Marchant used his political knowledge to present a strong business case for Federal funding for the interstate network and in 1999 the government provided ARTC with $250 million that would be spent over the next several years to improve rail network infrastructure.Under Marchant's direction, the ARTC in the early 2000s looked to expand its business as well as the trackage that came under its control, and in 2001 it was granted rights from the then West Australian track owner WestNet Rail to sell track access to interstate rail operators between Kalgoorlie and Perth for fifteen years. In addition the New South Wales government entered into an agreement for ARTC in September 2004 to lease the interstate and Hunter Valley tracks from the Rail Infrastructure Corporation for a period of 60 years. Subsequently in 2010 ARTC negotiated a lease with the Queensland government for the management of track access of the Queensland standard gauge rail line from the New South Wales border to Acacia Ridge and Brisbane, also for 60 years. Marchant also facilitated the completion of concrete sleeper insertion over the entire ARTC interstate network of 8,500 kilometres that, when combined with other track upgrading and strengthening of culverts and bridges, provided greater network reliability and lower maintenance costs.During Marchant's time as CEO of ARTC, he was heavily involved in other areas of the rail industry: Director, Rail Industry Safety and Standards Board, 2005-2010 Chairman, Australasian Rail Association, 2009-2011 Director, Australasian Railway Association, 1999-2011 Director of the Hunter Valley Coal Chain Coordination Company Pty Ltd, 2009-2011Marchant stepped down from his role as ARTC's CEO in 2011 after thirteen years at the helm, and left the rail industry.".
