RESEARCH PROJECT
0401 – URBAN
FREIGHT AND PORT BOTANY:
RESEARCH SCOPING
The study aims to
review conceptual
models for the representation
of land-use and freight
linkages, including
supply chain management,
and operational mathematical
models of freight
forecasting and urban
goods movements. Literature
specific to Port Botany
and the Sydney metropolitan
area will be reviewed
to identify research
gaps and to recommend
a more detail program
of investigation.
The principal research
is Paul Beavis. Mary
O’Malley from
UNSW Office of Media
and Communications
will design the communication
strategy for the dissemination
of the research findings.

BEAVIS
Paul Beavis is currently
a doctoral candidate
with the School of
Civil and Environmental
Engineering, UNSW.
He graduated with
an Honours degree
in Environmental Engineering
in 2001. During his
degree he worked with
Sydney Water Corporation
in their wastewater
planning section on
reviews of plant augmentation.
Since graduation he
has worked for the
Centre for Water and
Waste Technology,
UNSW in the field
of Environmental Life
Cycle Assessment (LCA).
Projects he has been
involved with have
involved assessments
of centralised and
decentralised water
and wastewater plants,
solid waste treatment
and logistics, and
the air-conditioning
industry. He has co-authored
three journal articles
and six conference
papers.
His PhD thesis topic
deals with flow and
infrastructure dynamics
(transport and industry)
as a means to reduce
material and energy
throughput of the
Australian economy.
The School of Civil
and Environmental
Engineering, Botany
Bay Studies Unit (UNSW)
and CSIRO Sustainable
Eco-systems provide
research supervision.
A major focus of this
thesis is on the sustainable
development of the
urban and regional
freight task in Sydney
and NSW.
Paul is also a volunteer
engineer with Anglican
Board of Mission (ABM)
involved in assessing
their water infrastructure
projects undertaken
with the support of
AUSAid. In this capacity
he has made two trips
to The Philippines.
RESEARCH PROJECT
0402 – URBAN
FREIGHT FUTURES WORKSHOP
With funding from
CSIRO Endowment Fund,
Paul Beavis will work
with BBSU to design
a workshop with invited
representatives from
government, industry,
academia and the community
to discuss urban freight
futures. The workshop
is planned for later
in 2005.
