Morrison Low has built an expert team of financial analysts, economists, engineers and business case specialists who have developed an extensive track record of assisting councils prepare funding applications and undertake the technical economic and cost benefit assessments of projects.
We have also recently welcomed Tony Camenzuli to the team, with Tony joining the Sydney office in November 2020 as the in-house economist. His vast experience includes various economist roles in both local and state government, which is a proven record of his capabilities.
Morrison Low's experience and success rate means that councils can ensure they are building the best possible compelling case for funding under the highly competitive Building Better Regions Fund.
