Activity: Industry and government engagement/consultancy › Submissions to or appearance before a government committee, inquiry or agency

Description

The aim of this study is to estimate externality values resulting from heavy vehicle use
in the Perth metropolitan area. The following summarises the research questions.
• What information is currently available on externality impacts for Australia, and specifically for Perth?
• How can externalities associated with heavy truck movements be appropriately measured for Perth?
• How can externalities associated with heavy truck movements be monetised for Perth? (i.e. calculate a dollar value)
• What is the average externality cost associated with moving a single container in Perth ($ per TEU)? (Scenarios on container movement cycles to be further developed with input from DoT).
