Facilitating and Investing in Economic Infrastructure
We go beyond traditional consulting to become a partner in your project's success. Our team provides strategic facilitation and advisory services to connect and align all stakeholders, from government bodies and financial institutions to technology providers and community groups. For select projects, we also act as a lead investor or partner, providing the critical seed capital and credibility required to get a project off the ground.
Our focus is on future-proof infrastructure that drives a sustainable economy. We specialise in projects involving:
-
Water Infrastructure: Developing and financing solutions for water security, treatment, and distribution to support growing populations and industries.
-
Microgrids and Batteries: Designing and implementing decentralised energy systems that enhance resilience, reduce costs, and support the transition to a low-carbon energy future.
-
Carbon Reduction & Recycling: Investing in and facilitating projects that directly contribute to Australia's carbon reduction targets, including waste-to-energy and advanced recycling facilities.
Economic Appraisals
Every major infrastructure decision requires a robust understanding of its economic impact. Our economic appraisals provide a rigorous, independent assessment of a project's financial viability and broader socioeconomic benefits. We utilize proven methodologies to evaluate capital expenditure, operational costs, revenue streams, and risk profiles, giving you the complete picture you need to make informed decisions.
Our analysis helps you:
-
Secure Funding: Provide the data-driven evidence required to attract private investment or government funding.
-
De-risk Projects: Identify potential economic pitfalls and unforeseen costs before they impact your bottom line.
-
Evaluate Alternatives: Compare different project options to select the one that offers the highest value for money.
Business Case Preparation
A well-structured business case is the foundation of any successful infrastructure project. We work with you to develop a comprehensive and compelling narrative that justifies the project's existence and lays out a clear roadmap for execution. Our expertise in public and private sector requirements ensures your business case meets the highest standards, setting your project up for success from the very beginning.
Our approach includes:
-
Problem Definition: Clearly articulate the market need and the problem the project aims to solve.
-
Strategic Alignment: Demonstrate how the project aligns with corporate objectives and broader government policy.
-
Financial & Commercial Analysis: Present a credible financial model and commercial framework that supports your investment thesis.
Risk Reviews
In a complex project environment, understanding and mitigating risk is paramount. Our expert risk reviews provide an independent and objective assessment of a project's risk landscape, from financial and regulatory to environmental and reputational risks. We help you move beyond a simple risk register to implement proactive strategies that build resilience and protect your investment.
Our risk reviews enable you to:
-
Identify Hidden Threats: Uncover potential risks that could jeopardise your project's timeline or budget.
-
Prioritise Mitigation: Focus your resources on addressing the most critical risks with the highest potential impact.
-
Enhance Credibility: Provide stakeholders with confidence that your project is well-managed and prepared for potential challenges.
Carbon Credit Development, Registration, and Financing
As Australia's focus on carbon reduction intensifies, the ability to generate and monetize carbon credits is a key competitive advantage. We guide you through the entire process of developing a carbon project, securing its registration with the Clean Energy Regulator, and advising on financing models to leverage this new asset class.
Our service helps you:
-
Unlock New Revenue Streams: Create a new and valuable asset from your carbon reduction initiatives.

Navigate Complex Regulation: We simplify the intricate process of project registration and compliance with the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF).
