Annual planning
Applying for a resilience project
- Minor resilience application form (<$300k) - application form for minor projects with expected costs below $300,000 including all design, investigation and construction costs.
- Enhanced resilience application form (>$300k) - application form for more significant projects with expected costs above $300,000.
In addition to these specific forms, you can find more information State Highway Annual Plan resources page .
Tools and research
Business cases and resilience insights
This report summarises the key insights from our review of business cases for the top 9 priority corridors. These insights are intended to provide useful guidance for those preparing future business cases.Economic impact assessment tool
Economic impact assessment tool
The Measuring the Economic Resilience of Infrastructure Tool (MERIT) has been developed to provide an assessment of the wider economic impacts of a network outage. It is a dynamic, multi-regional and multi-sectoral economic model that contains all of the core features of a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. CGE models tend to be the favoured approach and are ‘state-of-art’ in the modelling of regional- and national-level economic impacts. Among the advantages of this type of model is: (1) the whole-of-economy coverage; (2) the capture of indirect and induced economic consequences; (3) the ‘general equilibrium’ impacts that result from price changes in an economy; and (4) the ability to describe the distribution through time of impacts across different economic sectors and regions. The tool will be available here around July 2016.
We have undertaken pilot studies applying the tool to real recent major network outages, and Measuring the Economic Resilience of Infrastructure Tool is the report of the trial on the SH4 floods. We have also developed a MERIT Primer that provides a digestible summary of the findings.
National resilience - 9 key corridors
National resilience - 9 key corridors
As part of our work to understand and enhance the resilience of the state highway network, we asked Opus International to assess the resilience of the state highway network at a broad national level, and develop a methodology for assessing low frequency, high impact natural hazards at a regional level.
The national level resilience assessment has been initially carried out for 9 priority programme business case corridors, located throughout the country. The National state highway resilience - 9 priority PBC corridors report outlines the findings of this work. Inside the report you will find:
- Maps showing the resilience states for the state highways, presented as availability, outage and disruption states, and highlighting key areas of vulnerability of the state highways
- Map showing prioritisation of the state highway network
- A brief summary outlining the results of the assessment.
