Business Cases, Investment and Economics

We develop compelling, evidence-based strategic narratives to support investment decisions for major infrastructure. We also provide innovative economic modelling, data analysis and visualisation techniques strengthen business cases to support investment.

At Etheus, we understand the importance of developing robust and compelling business cases for infrastructure projects that align with government priorities and demonstrate value for money. We have a multi-disciplinary team of experts who can provide end-to-end services from problem identification and option analysis to economic appraisal and implementation planning.

We offer a holistic and integrated business case preparation and management services that go beyond simply editing or collating third party content. We can generate storyboards and evidence and from first principles, manage multiple subject matter workstreams, and produce clear and concise business cases that meet state and federal government assurance requirements. We can help you articulate the strategic merits of your investment, provide confidence that it will deliver net benefits to the community, and develop effective strategies for its delivery.

We have extensive experience in applying best practice methodologies across various sectors, including transport, land use and housing, tourism, health, education, justice and disability. We are industry leaders in assessing social value and regional development benefits, as well as modelling alternative funding and financing scenarios. We can tailor our approach to meet the specific needs and objectives of each project and stakeholder group.
