Frontier’s water practice combines an in-depth knowledge of the water industry with the ability to apply advanced economic techniques to provide practical advice to water businesses, regulators and policymakers.
Over the past decade, Australia has experienced drought and flood in regional and urban areas.
Managing water resources has become increasingly complex in the face of challenges including the impacts of climate change and extreme rainfall variability, increasing population, the condition of rivers and wetlands and concerns about the affordability of water services.
This has heightened the need for sound economic analysis to inform key decisions, while recognising the important environmental and social values attaching to water resources.
Our water practice combines an in-depth knowledge of the water industry with the ability to apply advanced economic techniques to provide practical advice to water businesses, regulators and policymakers.
We advise clients on:
- industry reform and institutional design
- the design and implementation of pricing and regulatory regimes
- competition and third party access
- the design and operation of water markets
- long-term investment strategies and resource planning.
We work closely with hydrologists, engineers, environmental scientists and many others to ensure clients get comprehensive solutions.
