Creating Value, Delivering Impact
RESILIENCE & DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
UNDERSTANDING RESILIENCE
The impacts of extreme weather events are felt across infrastructure, housing, businesses, the natural environment and people and families.
There is an urgent need for action by governments, industry and communities to plan and invest to reduce disaster risk and build resilience in the face of a changing climate. These investments need to be made in ways which provide value (for example, opportunity, prosperity and service delivery) to people during stable periods, while also coping with impacts of extreme weather-related events as well as disruptions and shocks.

2,460M reptiles, 181M birds, 143M mammals, and 51M frogs affected in burnt habitats during Black Summer bushfires (2019-2020)
Forecast annual cost of damages in Australia by 2060 is expected to be $73 Billion.
Disasters cost the Australian economy $38 Billion p.a. (2021)
92% of Australian Local Government Areas have been affected by at least one disaster since 2013.
Enabling Resilience Investment
Value Advisory Partners, with CSIRO, have designed the ground breaking Enabling Resilience Investment (ERI) Framework that is unique within the market and supports efficient and cost-effective planning for, and investment in, disaster resilient built environments and infrastructure. The approach responds to the Priorities identified in the National Disaster Risk Reduction Framework and National Action Plan 2. ERI identifies the need to pursue all collaborative financing and funding options for disaster risk reduction initiatives.
Benefits of the Enabling Resilient Investment Approach
Understand climate change risks and vulnerabilities to places, assets and service delivery, and identify mitigation options
Physical and financial sustainability of critical infrastructure and assets under a changing climate
Enhanced assessment of damages, losses, co-benefits and costs to prioritise adaptation and mitigation options and build the case for investment
Future land use, development and infrastructure plans informed by climate and hazard risks
Identify funding sources and pathways across both public and private sectors arising from resilient investment

KEY PROJECT
Gawler River Flood Management - Department of Environment and Water (SA)
Cost-Benefit Analysis for Flood Mitigation Options Analysis
Place Context: Adelaide's Northern Growth Areas & Regional South Australia
Project Type: Resilient infrastructure; Natural Hazard Mitigation
Project Lifecycle: Options Analysis and Cost/Benefit assessment
Scope: Cost benefit assessment, Land use, Jobs/GVA, GFA/development uplift, Value at risk (losses), Value creation
Economic assessment of flood mitigation options along the Gawler River in the north of Adelaide, South Australia. It was an assessment of additional intervention options to the existing flood retention dam. These include both structural and non-structural flood mitigation measures or different bundles of both. It required the integration of flood modelling data with impact analysis for dwellings, businesses and farms across the region over the assessment period, under a climate change scenario.
​
The assessment demonstrated how the range of methods, tools, practices and capabilities used for assessing and evaluating flood risk reduction strategies and actions could be evolved and expanded in the face of climate change. ​
