This table lists the accredited railways in Queenslandread the table Graham. I have complained to ONRSR about how misleading and deceptive their "list of accredited operators" is and even wrote to the Ombudsman, to no avail. Useless bureaucrats misleading the public. Qld are separate from the national regulator but are just as incompetent.
this table, like the one on ONRSR's web site, tells you nothing about the qualifications which govern accreditation nor even when accreditation is suspended.
so let's examine the Qld table:
Mary Valley Heritage Rail Museum* Gympie 23 April 1998 Rail Infrastructure Manager and Rolling Stock Operator
Ravenshoe Railway Co Ltd* Ravenshoe 3 October 2006 Rail Infrastructure Manager and Rolling Stock Operator
The Big Pineapple Corporation Pty Ltd* Nambour 2 April 2013 Rail Infrastructure Manager and Rolling Stock OperatorI find that amazing.
ONRSR are just as bad:
Mary Valley Heritage Rail Museum Assn Inc MVH x x x x x x QLD
Cooma-Monaro Railway Incorporated CMN RSO & RIM x x x NSW x x 20 January 2013
New England Railway Incorporated NER RSO x x x NSW x x 20 January 2013

Mary Valley Heritage Railway, press release, 15 Dec 2012:
The MVHR is an incorporated association....This association has fixed assets which are owned by the Mary Valley Heritage Railway Museum Association inc. The MVHRMA inc. as owners of these fixed assets.Gympie Times 9 August 2014:
MARY Valley Heritage Rail president Tony Hallam admits it was not easy. But yesterday he handed ownership of MVHR assets to new owner, the Rattler Railway Company.So we assume that a new company called "Rattler Railway Company" exists, but is it a Pty. Ltd. company incorporated under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) or a not for profit "Inc" registered under the Associations Incorporation Act 1981 (Qld). Who is to say. They are supposed to use their correct title, and no name vaguely close appears on the Dept of Transport site register.
And let's assume that it is the new company which may have received accreditation. But what are the qualifications. Blandly making a Facebook post like the one I originally cited tells you nothing.
