GHD completed an independent evaluation of a sample of ten AMPC projects completed in the 2023/24 financial year to assess the expected benefits and return on investment. Overall the study revealed a positive economic return, with a weighted average benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of 6.3 over 30 years. BCRs for individual projects ranged between 1.3 to 8.0.
