Preface

The Asset Standards Authority (ASA) is an independent unit within Transport for NSW (TfNSW)

and is the network design and standards authority for defined NSW transport assets.

The ASA is responsible for developing engineering governance frameworks to support industry

delivery in the assurance of design, safety, integrity, construction, and commissioning of

transport assets for the whole asset life cycle. In order to achieve this, the ASA effectively

discharges obligations as the authority for various technical, process, and planning matters

across the asset life cycle.

The ASA collaborates with industry using stakeholder engagement activities to assist in

achieving its mission. These activities help align the ASA to broader government expectations of

making it clearer, simpler, and more attractive to do business within the NSW transport industry,

allowing the supply chain to deliver safe, efficient, and competent transport services.

The ASA develops, maintains, controls, and publishes a suite of standards and other

documentation for transport assets of TfNSW. Further, the ASA ensures that these standards

are performance based to create opportunities for innovation and improve access to a broader

competitive supply chain.

The ASA sets, maintains and administers the framework for the assessment, authorisation,

surveillance, review and audit of organisations which provide engineering services in relation to

the asset life cycle of TfNSW assets.

This document informs stakeholders involved in the development of reference codes, the high

level governance arrangements and principles to allow transparent and consistent application of

reference codes.

This standard has been approved by the ASA Configuration Control Board.

1. Introduction

The Assets Standard Authority (ASA) is committed to effective and efficient management of

Transport for NSW (TfNSW) assets. This standard defines the asset reference codes

requirements to provide stakeholders with the high level governance arrangements involved in

the development of the asset reference codes and the principles to allow transparent and

consistent application of the asset reference codes.

2. Purpose

The purpose of this document is to provide the requirements and application of asset reference

codes mandated to be used by organisations involved in the design, planning, delivery,

operation and maintenance of assets owned by TfNSW with respect to the asset information

system, asset register and associated asset information.

The application of standard codes will:

ensure consistency and quality in the data collected and managed

enable the ability for searching, analysis and reporting on the asset information (data and

documents) to be performed consistently across the modes and related information

systems that are used for the whole of life management of assets owned by TfNSW

facilitate the integration and transfer of data from various information system sources

The Asset Stewardship unit of the Network and Asset Strategy branch within ASA is responsible

for the data management and stewardship of these codes. The Asset Stewardship unit can be

contacted via email mailto:[email protected]. For the creation or

modification of codes please refer to T MU AM 01006 ST F1 Request to Create/Modify a Code

Form. For the existing register of codes please refer to T MU AM 01007 TI Asset Reference

Codes Register.

3. Scope

This standard establishes the requirements for the identification and application of asset

reference codes to be used within the asset information system including the asset register and

associated asset information. This standard defines the asset reference codes required to be

used in the whole of life management of assets contained within the asset register.

4. Application

This standard applies to TfNSW, Transport cluster agencies, AEOs and service providers

involved in the planning, acquisition, operation and maintenance and disposal of assets across

the transport portfolio. This standard shall be applied during all phases of the asset life cycle.

7.1. Criteria

The location code criteria are described below.

7.1.1. General

Location shall be the suburb locality that includes assets existing within a transport corridor or

facility/interchange. All assets within the facility/interchange shall inherit the same location code

as the facility/interchange. An asset shall only have one location code.

Location shall be the location name of the facility/interchange (if it does not exist as a suburb

locality) for example: Macdonaldtown station is the name of the station but not the suburb it is

within.

Location shall be the location name or suburb locality for only Model A, Model B and Model C

interchanges. Model D interchanges shall only use the suburb locality as its location (refer to

Section 7.1.2).

Locations shall be used to identify both operational and non-operational assets including

heritage and disused locations. Locations shall be used to provide a general geographic

reference for the physical location of every discrete fixed asset and as the home location of

every mobile asset owned by TfNSW.

A location servicing multiple transport modes with the same name shall have the same code, for

example: Dulwich Hill train station and Dulwich Hill light rail stop shall have the same location

code of Dulwich Hill that is DHL.

Locations shall exist for assets along a transport corridor/yard and off corridor, as well as assets

located at junctions or at network terminations / boundaries.

Specific track node locations on the rail network to support operational and timetable

requirements shall use the general three character location code as a prefix where possible.

Location codes shall be unique to a location within Australia. Locations shall not include a

capital city, for example: Sydney, but shall contain a state reference.

Continuous assets (that is: corridor, fencing, track, roads, overhead wiring, tunnels, combined

service routes, earthworks) spanning more than one location shall not have a location code

assigned but will be referenced by the corridor it services.

In addition, bulk supply feeders shall use the location of the substation it is supplying as its

location. Other electrical, signalling and communications cables and feeders shall use the

location of the primary source end or the lowest pole number end (for aerial feeders) to

determine the location.

7.1.2. Interchange locations

TfNSW recognises the important function of interchanges within NSW. The 583 major

interchanges are identified by preferred O&M Model (Model A to Model C) across NSW and

Sydney. Approximately 43,000 bus stops are classified as Model D.

The Interchange O&M Model has identified a proposed governance framework for

management, operation and maintenance of interchanges that can be applied across the

hierarchy of interchanges and that include all key stakeholders (for example: TfNSW, Local

Government, transport operators and private entities). Model A refers to the most complex

interchanges with high level of TfNSW involvement, robust governance and more labour

intensive, Model B and Model C are progressively less complex interchanges with reducing

levels of TfNSW involvement and governance and are less labour intensive. Model D are the

simplest interchanges and are to be managed by broader Policy and governance. The set

conditions that exist for interchanges are described below:

where an interchange (Model A, Mode B or Model C) is named by the suburb it is located

in then it shall be assigned the location code of the suburb. For example: Newtown station

is located in Newtown and shall be known by the location of Newtown with the location

code of NTN

where an interchange (Model A, Model B or Model C) is not named by the suburb it is

located in then it shall be assigned the location code that identifies it by its name. For

example: Macdonaldtown Station is located in Eveleigh but shall be known by the location

of Macdonaldtown with the location code of MCT (see Figure 1)

Figure 1 - Macdonaldtown train station and surrounding locality

where multiple interchanges (Model A, Model B or Model C) have the same name but

service different modes then they shall be assigned the same location code, for example:

Dulwich Hill train station and Dulwich Hill light rail stop shall have the same location code of

Dulwich Hill that is DHL (see Figure 2)

Figure 2 - Dulwich Hill transport interchanges and surrounding locality

Where an interchange (Model D bus interchange only) is named by a street address it shall be

assigned the location of the surrounding suburb. For example:

o bus stop TSN 2150300 at Park Parade shall be known by the location of Parramatta,

location code PTN (see Figure 3)

o bus stop TSN 2150107 at Parramatta Interchange – Stand B2 shall be known by the

location of Parramatta, location code PTN (see Figure 3)

7.1.3. Facility locations

TfNSW owns multiple facilities (non Interchanges) that exist to support the operation and

maintenance of the transport network. These range from fleet maintenance facilities, electrical

substation facilities, signalling and traffic facilities, building service/control facilities, logistics

facilities, operations facilities and parking and taxi facilities. These may exist both on and off the

corridor. Infrastructure, plant and fleet assets are located within these facilities.

where a facility (on or off corridor) is named by the suburb it is located in then it shall be

assigned the location code of the suburb. For example: Strathfield Electrical Traction

Substation is located in Strathfield and shall assign the location of Strathfield. All assets

within this facility shall inherit the same location code that is STR.

where a facility (on or off corridor) is not named by the suburb it is located in then it shall be

assigned the location code that identifies it by its name. For example:

o Argyle Electrical Traction Substation is located in Millers Point but shall be assigned

the location of Argyle that is ARG. All assets within this facility shall inherit the same

location code

o Lady Game Drive Water Treatment Plant is located in Chatswood West but shall be

assigned the location of Lady Game Drive. All assets within this facility shall inherit the

same location code (see Figure 5)

7.1.4. Asset locations along the corridor or in a yard

TfNSW recognises multiple transport corridors and yards within NSW.

where assets exist along a transport corridor for a mode of transport (for example: heavy

rail or light rail) the asset location shall be assigned the nearest interchange location code

o assets on the heavy rail corridor (for example: between Summer Hill and Lewisham

stations) shall be assigned the nearest heavy rail interchange location (see Figure 6)

o assets on the light rail corridor (for example: between Taverners Hill and Lewisham

West stops) shall be assigned to the nearest light rail interchange location (see Figure

6)

Figure 6 - Assets located within heavy and light rail corridors and surrounding locality

where a yard is named by the suburb it is located in then it shall be assigned the location

code of the suburb. For example:

o Auburn Rail Yard is located in Auburn and shall be assigned the location of Auburn.

All assets within this yard including any facilities shall inherit the same location code

(see Figure 8)

o Balmain Ship Yard is located in Balmain and shall be assigned the location of

Balmain. All assets within this yard including any facilities shall inherit the same

location code

where a yard is not named by the suburb it is located in then it shall be assigned the

location code that identifies it by its name. For example: ACDEP Yard is located in

Eveleigh and shall be assigned the location of Eveleigh. All assets within this yard including

any facilities shall inherit the same location code (see Figure 9) (see Table 1)

7.1.5. Mobile asset locations

Where a mobile asset (fleet or plant) is managed and controlled by its home depot (facility)

it shall inherit the location code of the facility as its home location. For example:

o Train and mobile plant assets managed at the Hornsby Fleet Maintenance Depot shall

be assigned the location of Hornsby

7.1.6. Cable and aerial feeder asset locations

Where a bulk supply feeder (cable or aerial) is supplying an electric substation the feeder

shall inherit the location code of the substation it is supplying as its location. For example:

o Bulk supply 33 kV feeder 748 from Pyrmont to Prince Alfred Substation shall be

assigned the location of Prince Alfred

Other electrical, signalling and communications cables and aerial feeders shall use the

location of the source end facility (electrical, signalling and communications) or the lowest

pole number end (for aerial feeders) to determine the location of the cable or aerial. All

discrete assets associated with the cable or aerial shall use the nearest location where

possible

8. Corridor and yard codes

Corridors and yards are used to define continuous areas where TfNSW owned assets are

located. Each corridor and yard shall be defined by a three character code. Any asset

information system / repository that have a requirement to identify and manage an asset by

corridor or yard shall use the corridor and yard codes defined in the Asset Reference Codes

Register T MU AM 01007 TI.

Both corridors and yards contain Infrastructure assets and facilities:

rail corridor (heavy rail and light rail)

road corridor (including T-Way)

yards (fleet stabling, servicing and presentation)

8.1. Criteria

The corridor and yard code criteria are described below.

8.1.1. General

Corridor is an area that contains one or more mainline tracks or roads identified for a business

purpose (primarily for the operation of transport fleet services and support the movement of

passenger and freight vehicles). Corridor area consists of everything that lays between the

boundary lines/fences (over land or water).

Assets (including facilities) off corridor shall not be assigned a corridor code unless they are

directly servicing a corridor. Assets (including interchanges and facilities) located in a junction or

servicing multiple corridors shall be assigned the primary corridor.

Yard is an area that contains one or more rail sidings identified for a business purpose (primarily

for the stabling, servicing and presentation of the transport fleet and to support operations).

Yard is a type of corridor connected to a main corridor. All three characters shall be alphas. The

length of a rail corridor or yard shall be defined by the minimum start and maximum end

kilometres of all the track base codes contained within the rail corridor or yard. The length of a

road corridor shall be defined by the minimum start and maximum end kilometres of all the road

segments contained within the road corridor.

Every asset shall be associated with one corridor except for non corridor assets. Not every

asset location within the transport network shall belong to a corridor. Corridor shall begin at a

node location, usually a junction and shall end at another nodal location, usually a junction or

terminus. Every fork at a junction results in a new unique corridor.

For heavy rail the first character of the corridor code represents the primary geographic location

or direction. The remaining two characters shall be numeric.

I for Illawarra (from Central to Nowra)

M for Sydney metropolitan corridors

N for Main North (from Strathfield Junction to Wallangarra – Queensland state border)

S for Main South (from Lidcombe Junction to Albury – Victorian state border)

W for Main West (from Granville Junction to Bourke)

C for dedicated coal lines

All heavy rail corridors branching off the main corridors shall be prefixed with the same letter as

the main corridor except in the Sydney metropolitan rail network area where M shall be the

prefix and except for coal lines where C shall be the prefix.

For light rail the first character of the corridor code shall be L. The remaining two characters

shall be numeric.

8.1.2. Corridor

Multiple transport corridors recognised within NSW by TfNSW.

8.1.4. Mobile asset corridors

where a mobile asset (fleet or plant) is managed and controlled by its home depot (facility)

it shall inherit the corridor or yard code of the facility as the corridor. For example:

o train and mobile plant assets managed at the Hornsby Fleet Maintenance Depot

located in Hornsby Car Sidings Yard shall be assigned Hornsby Car Sidings as the

corridor

8.1.5. Cable and aerial feeder asset corridors

where a bulk supply feeder (cable or aerial) is supplying an electric substation the feeder

shall inherit the corridor code of the substation it is supplying as its corridor. For example:

o bulk supply 33 kV feeder 748 from Pyrmont to Prince Alfred Substation shall be

assigned the corridor of Main Suburban

other electrical, signalling and communications cables and aerial feeders shall use the

corridor of the primary source end facility (electrical, signalling and communications) or the

lowest pole number end (for aerial feeders) to determine the corridor of the cable or aerial.

All discrete assets associated with the cable or aerial shall inherit the same corridor as the

feeder.

9. Track base codes

A track base code uniquely represents one track within only one rail corridor or rail yard. All

tracks including crossovers have been uniquely identified with a track base code. Any asset

information system or repository that has a requirement to identify and manage an asset by

track base code shall use the base codes defined in the Asset Reference Codes Register

T MU AM 01007 TI.

9.1. Criteria

The track base code criteria are described below.

9.1.1. General

Track base codes shall only be created with start or end track nodes that are one of the

following physical track features:

turnout (points)

dead ends such as buffer stops or stop blocks

0 km at Central (for Sydney heavy rail)

0 km at Pitt St (for Sydney light rail)

major kilometre discontinuities as described in the point below

The kilometre on a track base code shall be continuous in one direction. A new code shall be

given at major discontinuities, for example; Cabramatta Junction, Meeks Road Junction.

The track node feature ‘turnout’ shall be defined as belonging to the through main corridor

A track base code shall start at the track node with the lowest km value

Track base codes names shall be derived from the common operational name on the corridor or

yard, for example: Illawarra - Down Main, Main Suburban – Up Local

A track base code shall be defined as one of the following types:

mainline (M) – includes; Mains, Suburbans, Locals, Reliefs

crossing Loop (C) – main crossing loops only

crossover (X) – two turnout tracks and adjoining track

siding (S) – all other tracks including balloon loops

A track base code represents the full length of one track contained within a rail corridor or yard
