Students will also gain experience working with established regional roadmaps and policy frameworks to inform evidence-based recommendations.

Review The Next Economy The Next Economy, including recent webinar on economic transitions, 'The Economy We Could Have' online here.
Read and familiarise themselves with the Roadmap for Hay and associated iHay Insights Paper media release (PDF).
Become acquainted with the most recent Regional Drought Resilience Plan summary paper (PDF).
These readings will provide essential context for the project and underpin all consultation and analysis activities.

Deliverables

The final submission will be a case study contribution that synthesises stakeholder consultation insights with analysis of water resources, economic impacts, and transition opportunities for the Hay region. This may include written analysis, recommendations, and supporting evidence aligned with the Roadmap for Hay and broader project objectives.
