Planning and Evaluation
Austroads, under its Technology Program, has established an Evaluation and Planning Technical review panel. This panel consists of jurisdictional representatives from around Australia and New Zealand and are tasked to consider all aspects of road project’s economic planning and evaluation during road or network planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and for arranging research and commissioning. Where necessary the Review panel then arranges changes to the Austroads Guide to Project Evaluation and / or in the preparation of specialist reports.
The Austroads Guide to Project Evaluation assembles knowledge on project evaluation methods, parameters and tools into a readily available and accessible resource for planners and decision-makers. The parts offer guidance to practitioners seeking advice for 'beyond the standard benefit-cost analysis (BCA) or multi-criteria analysis (MCA)' evaluations, that is, project risk assessment, the national and regional impacts of projects, distributional (equity) effects of projects, and project post-evaluation analysis.
The full Guide to Project Evaluation set comprises of:
- Part 1: Introduction to Project Evaluation
- Part 2: Project Evaluation Methodology
- Part 3: Models and Procedures
- Part 4: Project Evaluation Data
- Part 5: Impact on National Regional Economies
- Part 6: Distribution (Equity) Effects
- Part 7: Post-completion Evaluation
- Part 8: Examples Asset Valuation and Audit
Planning and Evaluation also includes the Guide to Road Transport Planning.
