Infrastructure project delivery: a life cycle evaluation model for public private partnerships. Governments continue to embrace public-private partnerships so as to obtain value for money and provide financial accountability to taxpayers. This project will determine the most appropriate way to engage the private sector in infrastructure delivery and develop a dynamic life cycle evaluation model to ensure projects are delivered effectively and efficiently.
New paradigms for urban public transport planning in Australia: assessing the capacity of institutions and infrastructure.

This project will use international experience to shape new approaches to planning public transport in our largest cities.
