Economic Assessment of CUB site A Concept Plan was prepared for redevelopment of the CUB site in Chippendale. Part of the work in preparing the Plan was an assessment of issues around the economic impact of the redevelopment. In conjunction with Elton Consulting, SES has prepared an initial report. The analysis in this report was based on current understandings of the scale of the redevelopment, the mix of residential and commercial activities, and the economy of the surrounding area. This project was completed in mid 2007. Foundation for Young Australians: Breakthrough Project 2002-2005 In 2002 SES was commissioned in partnership with CREEDA Projects to evaluate and provide business mentoring for five youth businesses funded by the Foundation for Young Australian's Breakthrough Program.

The final report is available here. Australian Capital Region Focus on Business 2000, 2002 and2004 The evaluation covered sizeable samples of each of three target groups: VIP guests (CEO’s of major businesses in Sydney and Melbourne), delegates and exhibitors. The evaluation used a mix of tools (on-the-spot interviews during the event, follow up questionnaires, and over-the-phone interviews) to obtain comprehensive feedback on the event and its impact. The evaluation showed that the event changed some of the perceptions that interstate CEO's had about the Region, and that they were impressed at the depth of competitive commercial activity going on. Participants estimated that between $10 million and $18 million worth of new business is underway as a result of the event.
