Guidelines for Cost-Benefit Analysis

The Department of Transport oversees a portfolio of infrastructure and major projects with a total estimated investment in excess of $20 billion. The value of this infrastructure to the State emphasises the critical importance of the project selection process, effective implementation and delivery and on-going management.

The department uses the Guidelines for Cost-Benefit Analysis (PDF, 420 KB, 81 pp.) as an important tool for evaluating proposed capital projects.

The guidelines are consistent with the National Guidelines for Transport System Management in Australia available on the Australian Transport Council website and should be read in conjunction with them.
