Question

I refer to the sensitivity testing undertaken by ACIL Allen for thePerth Park Business Case Summary, and I ask:(a) How sensitive is the discounted Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) to a change in visitation numbers for each event;(b) To what extent do the downside risks threaten the costs to exceed the benefits;(c) Was sensitivity testing undertaken on the number of events given as examples; and(d) Did sensitivity analysis account for potential subsidies to secure events?

Answer

(a)-(d)  The sensitivity analysis found the BCR to be robust, which included the number of events based on the operational assumptions in the business case.
