Project Scope

Our consulting team was engaged to provide an independent expert opinion on the feasibility of a proposed ecotourism development, focusing on site suitability, concept viability, and financial projections. This detailed analysis was prepared to support a litigation process in the Supreme Court of New South Wales (NSW), requiring a thorough and objective assessment aligned with industry standards.

The assignment involved evaluating the proposed site’s attributes, including its physical characteristics, environmental considerations, and accessibility. This analysis determined whether the location was appropriate for an ecotourism project, ensuring alignment with market expectations and sustainable development practices. Key considerations included the preservation of natural assets, compliance with local regulations, and the potential to attract ecotourism enthusiasts.

The proposed concept was assessed against market trends and demand drivers, examining its alignment with the growing interest in nature-based tourism and environmentally responsible travel. Our team reviewed the development’s ability to differentiate itself in a competitive market while appealing to the target audience. This analysis also considered operational feasibility, ensuring the concept was viable within the specific environmental and logistical context of the site.

Financial projections formed a critical part of the report, with detailed modelling to estimate potential revenues, operating costs, and investment returns. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to account for varying market conditions, ensuring the projections were robust and defensible.

The expert report provided an impartial, evidence-based evaluation that met the rigorous standards required for legal proceedings. By delivering comprehensive insights into the development’s feasibility, our work supported the client’s position in the litigation process, highlighting our expertise in ecotourism development and the application of industry best practices.
