Economic Impact Assessments

Economic impact assessments underpin many of the projects we undertake. Impacts may be measured in terms of net employment creation, competitive effects on other businesses, improvements in service delivery, changes in property values, and changes in local rate revenues.

Impact assessments are typically undertaken for major retail and commercial developments and large infrastructure projects, as well as impacts generated by retirement villages, tourism projects and so on. Often these assessments are undertaken in the context of a wider Environmental Effects Statement process, in which triple bottom line assessment techniques are employed.
