Cost Benefit Analysis
Balmoral Group bring a rich history of experience with non-market valuation techniques to projects requiring cost-benefit analysis or post-hoc program evaluation. We have provided valuation for impacts to social, health, and environmental services – including for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal culture and heritage; municipal, agricultural and environmental values for water; urban greenspace and parkland; and rural and regional infrastructure, including roads and public facilities.
We bring an outcomes-focused lens to our work, always striving to meet client needs. We take into account the wider policy framework and context to ensure that our analysis is clear, transparent, and meets government guidelines and criteria without sacrificing integrity.
Geographic Information System
Spatial data and modelling often forms the core of work that Balmoral Group undertakes, and our professionals pride themselves on a mastery of GIS software and techniques. Our database of spatial information and sources allows us to rapidly locate satellite & remote imagery, topographic information, and socio-demographic data. Furthermore, we maintain a powerful computing infrastructure capable of processing highly detailed or complex models.
We are able to provide spatial mapping in all formats, including high-resolution images for reporting, dynamic visualisations, GIS-compatible files, and web-hosted services. We are also able to provide bespoke GIS modelling for clients with GIS capabilities for internal use.
Social Research, Socioeconomic Profiling and Analysis
Balmoral Group utilise a range of quantitative and qualitative methods to turn social, demographic, and economic data into concrete policy insights, backed up by local understanding. By combining statistical and census data with insights derived from case-studies, we are able to deliver the understanding clients need, with confidence and context.
We are familiar with qualitative research methods, having undertaken surveys, workshops, interviews, with a range of important stakeholder types. We understand the value of traveling the extra mile to meet people, communities and businesses, and this approach has taken us all over Australia. A track record we are proud of.
Our professionals understand that when it comes to quantitative statistics, less is more, and we pride ourselves on being able to extract and communicate the key data necessary to inform decision making and policy analysis.
Data Visualisation
Our analysts bring a fresh dimension to any dataset, using dynamic visualisation to make complex information accessible to a range of audiences. We use Power BI to create bespoke products that our clients can use to understand their own data, dive deep into the insights created in our projects, and help communicate findings to their stakeholders and the wider public.
