A minor correction to the access arrangement was published on 29 September 2015.
On 1 October 2015, ATCO applied to the Australian Competition Tribunal for a review of the access arrangement decision. The Tribunal published its determination on 13 July 2016. On 25 October 2016, the ERA published an amended decision to take account of the orders of the Tribunal.
