The NLXP held national level crossing occurrence and characteristic data is accessed through an authenticated website, it is not publicly available data. Local government road managers can register for access by contacting ONRSR via the support@nlxp.com.au email.
To register your organisation, you will need to provide ONRSR with a nominated NLXP Key Contact, who will be responsible for authorising access for individual users on behalf of your organisation. Further information on accessing the NLXP is presented in the NLXP User Guide, which is available on the NLXP website.
Don’t Risk the Rails was launched in August 2026 by the National Level Crossing Safety Committee. The campaign highlights known risks at level crossings, using simple messaging and relatable characters to raise awareness about the need for road users to take extra care around level crossings. A range of campaign resources are available for local councils and other organisations to use.
There are 9,000 railway crossings located on private property, predominantly across rural and agricultural land. Railway Safety on Private Land aims to reduce the risk of serious injury and fatalities at railway crossings located on private land by improving awareness, reinforcing safe behaviours, and supporting landholders to proactively manage crossing rail and railway crossing risks on their properties. TrackSAFE and Farmsafe Australia Inc – with the support of Transport for NSW and ARTC – have developed a toolbox to increase awareness of the risks associated with railway crossings on private property, particularly for those operating or working within rural and agricultural settings, and support landholders and property managers to identify, assess and mitigate behavioural and environmental risks at railway crossings on their property.
Under the Rail Safety National Law, road managers of private roads are required to seek to enter into interface agreements if the responsible rail infrastructure manager has determined that risks to safety must be managed in conjunction with the relevant road manager. In these cases, the rail infrastructure manager is first required to give written notice to the road manager.
