Resilient Infrastructure Assessment
Value Advisory Partners, in partnership with CSIRO, has developed a new approach to address current shortfalls in viable investment cases and funding for interventions to build community resilience and reduce climate and disaster risk.
The Enabling Resilience Investment Framework is an assessment and decision-making toolkit to inform options, interventions, adaptation and mitigation to reduce climate and disaster risks.
The approach aims to reduce vulnerability and risk by increasing a community's capacity to cope and adapt to disruptions or disasters and by creating new value and community benefit through resilience.

Value Creation & Capture Analysis
With years of experience from engagements across Australia, New Zealand and Asia, our team has the capabilities and expertise to take your business to the next level. At Value Advisory Partners we combine our insights, skills, practices and tools to transform your processes and strategies, and in turn, your company. We’re proud to help shape and improve how our clients structure and manage their business.
Precincts Analysis
When it comes to the planning, design and development of our places, communities and cities, success is dependent on establishing an evidence base that integrates “top down” and “bottom up” analysis, i.e. real data and projections/forecasts. Importantly, to bring together a “macro” view of “the vision” and the “micro” view of what’s on the ground. Our expertise makes sense of these macro and micro analyses to optimise outcomes.
Data Analytics and Insights
We examine what organizations are doing to stay relevant and competitive in this fast-paced world, and which ones are doing it best. We then strategize using smart tools and global resources in order to understand the implications of every choice our clients can make. Get in touch to learn more about how this service can help you.

Christopher Nones
Consultant
I am formerly a Microbiologist and Applications scientist doing research, development work and technical communicator. I decided to pursue a career in Data Science as it encapsulates key concepts that I find rewarding in a professional context. These include: pursuing and developing cutting edge technologies; collecting and wrangling data to useful forms; analysing and presenting data to form insights and actions; careful and systemic experimental design; problem solving and story telling. Along the way I’ve discovered a passion for coding and data visualization but am equally enthralled by machine learning and AI and hope to gain more experience in any and all forms of Data Science. In my free time I like to be creative with music and audio visual work.
A SELECTION OF OUR CLIENTS
CHECK OUT OUR TESTIMONIALS
The quality of the analysis and modelling has been exceptional and this has built a solid foundation for the Master Plan and the Business Case for funding. The Business Case itself is both compliant and compelling to State Government forms and strategies.
The senior officers, Nic, John and George, were diligent in explaining the modelling and approach with our teams, most of whom had not participated in developing plans such as these before. This coaching and support was highly valued and has continued well after the completion of the formal works.
CEO in Tourism
The VAP process of identifying the economic benefits (dis-benefits in some circumstances) allows an informed conversation about the available development alternatives for both cost and value, which enables collaboration between government and the development industry leading to better and faster decision making.
CEO in the Property Development Industry
A priority reason for why we partnered with VAP was to co-design and develop the prioritization framework and guidance was because of VAP’s capabilities and capacities in identifying, quantifying and evaluating novel and exciting opportunities for creating (and exploring diverse mechanisms for capturing) additional value from potential commercial investments.
Commonwealth Government Agency
