- Airside Security - Regulatory Impact Statement
ACIL Tasman assisted the Department of Transport and Regional Services in developing a Regulatory Impact Statement for proposed enhancements to security arrangements on the "airside" of airports ( the area where planes park at gates, maintenance is undertaken etc). The work included a comparison with overseas arrangements, market failure considerations, consideration of options (e.g. co-regulation, government regulation, government provision and status quo), discussion with a sample of airport and aviation stakeholders, and analysis of the cost and benefit impacts on the industry consumers and government.
- Marketing Australian Wheat
ACIL Tasman's report Marketing Australian Wheat was released in November 2006. The report which was commissioned by the Australian Grain Export Association, found that new wheat marketing arrangements would benefit the industry and growers.
- Rail Cooperative Research Centre
ACIL Tasman undertook an economic evaluation of a proposed rail sector research program, as part of the Australasian Railway Association's application for Commonwealth government funding part-funding for a new rail Co-operative Research Centre. The work involved extensive consultation with the rail industry and rail research specialists, estimation of costs and potential benefits, a wider Key Performance Indicator exercise, economic modelling, and a presentation to the government's evaluation committee. That committee faced numerous competing applications, but the ARA bid was successful.
