Abstract

Projects in small regional communities are rarely subjected to cost–benefit analysis, partly because of the perceived difficulty and cost of doing so. However, the very isolation of such communities means that well-established analytical techniques used for transport projects can be used to estimate the costs and benefits of government provision of goods and services.
