conducting cost-benefit analysis of
environmental projects.
Examples of recent assignments
include:
Evaluation
of Environmental Projects in Tropical Australia
Land & Water Research and Development
Corporation, Australia
Cost-benefit analysis of projects designed to
reduce nitrogen and phosphorus loadings in
northern Australian river systems. Potential
economic and ecological impact on World Heritage
- Great Barrier Reef hard coral communities
modelled. Economic feasibility of projects to
stabilise river banks, reduce air-pollution and
enhance productivity of northern fisheries also
assessed. Responsible for reviewing project
designs, assisting with management of this major
project, along with report preparation (with
Agtrans Research).
Lake
Victoria Environmental Management Project
World Bank (with SMEC International), Kenya
Establishment of R&D trust fund to facilitate
sustainable fisheries management and wetland
conservation within Lake Victoria, East Africa.
Existing management of fisheries levy collection
reviewed, and recommendations as to which
existing mechanisms in collection, retention and
disbursement be retained; along with
investigation of additional possibilities for
revenue collection. Justification for the
establishment of a National Fisheries Levy Trust
(NFLT) involved economic appraisal of potential
R&D investments in enhanced fisheries
capture/production technology, conservation and
institutional strengthening projects.
Evaluation
of Fisheries & Aquaculture Environmental
Projects
Fisheries Research and Development
Corporation, Australia
Economic evaluation of 14 fisheries research and
development projects that relate to marine
environment enhancement. Projects including
habitat restoration, improved effluent
management and wetland conservation were
analysed. Global databases searched and
literature reviews conducted to gather reef,
wetland and marine ecosystem economic values.
Economic and environmental models developed to
evaluate project impacts and document prepared
(with the BDA Group).
Business
Plan Development for Commercialisation of
Vaccines
Pest Animal Control Cooperative Research
Centre, Australia
Product development plan developed to assist
with the commercialisation of
immuno-contraceptive vaccines to better manage
fox, rodent, rabbit and other vertebrate pests.
Cash flow model developed to cost
proof-of-concept, regulatory approval and
commercial trial phases of product development.
Risk analysis undertaken & market potential
estimated for spin-off commercialisation
company. Economic benefits assessed using
framework which incorporated conservation
benefits of species preservation – including
endangered species such as the Leathery Turtle
(Dermochelys coriacea) & Rufous Hair Wallaby
(Lagorchestes hirsutus).
