Evidence That Moves Projects Forward
When your development needs to prove its value – to council, government, or the community – an Economic Impact Study makes the case.
At Deep River, we prepare high-quality, data-driven economic assessments that clearly demonstrate how your project will create jobs, drive investment, and support long-term growth.
Whether it's a rezoning, State Significant Development, or a major commercial precinct, our reports are built to stand up to scrutiny – and push your project forward.
Our Economic Impact Study Services
At Deep River, we manage the entire process, from research and modelling to final reporting, with optional peer review to support high-stakes applications.
Economic Impact Report Preparation
Clear, robust, and tailored to council and government expectations. We use industry-standard methods, ABS data, and input-output modelling where appropriate.
Custom Modelling & Scenario Analysis
We can model multiple development scenarios or land use options to support decision-making or negotiation.
Peer Review by Leading Academics (Optional)
For added credibility, we offer third-party peer review by senior economists from top Australian universities — ideal for contested or sensitive proposals.
Strategic Advice
We’ll guide you on when an economic impact study is needed, what level of detail is required, and how to position it as part of your broader planning strategy.
What Is an Economic Impact Study?
An Economic Impact Study (EIS) is a technical report that quantifies the expected economic benefits of a proposed development. These typically include:
- •Job creation (construction and ongoing)
- •Economic output and value-add
- •Local business and supply chain impacts
- •Public benefit and social return
- •Alignment with local and state strategic plans
These reports are often required for major projects, Planning Proposals, State Significant Developments, and projects seeking government support or public funding.
