The QUT Centre for Data Science and Queen’s Wharf Brisbane Scholarships seeks to undertake timely, data-informed insights about the Queen’s Wharf development that will inform communities and governments of similar large- scale infrastructure projects. The Centre hosts QUT’s flagship project, the Queens Wharf Brisbane (QWB) Longitudinal Study.

The QWB is the development of a generation for Brisbane and promises to deliver significant benefits and impact for the city, regional areas and Queensland that need to be captured, measured and analysed. The QWB Longitudinal Study builds on an earlier joint project between QUT and the Queensland Government, and is a unique and critical strategic framework for evidence-based monitoring and decision-making that can be applied where any large-scale infrastructure projects are being considered.

QUT and the Graduate Research Centre are committed to Equity and Diversity among our staff and students, to ensure that we mirror the diversity of the community in which QUT exists. In 2018, this was recognised by QUT receiving a Bronze Award in the inaugural SAGE Athena SWAN gender and diversity program.

Women and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students are encouraged to apply.

developments on surrounding property markets and property value

The impact of significant precinct developments can be varied in different stage of the project development and delay of market responses related to the risk and uncertainty of the development.

This PhD project is reviewing the impact of significant large-scale development such as Queens Wharf Brisbane and related infrastructure projects on land use mix and surrounding property markets and property value. The project will include longitudinal study and comparison with other significant precinct development projects. This project will contribute theoretically to property economics scholarship and will provide policy recommendation on future significant precinct development.

projects

Little is known about the impact of community engagement in the infrastructure sector and the influence sociocultural factors have on community engagement practice. This PhD project utilises qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate the relationship between organisations and local communities and understand how community engagement processes contribute to social capital and social license to operate. The findings of this PhD project will contribute theoretically to community engagement scholarship, and practically, will guide public policy and practice by government and corporations, around engaging for infrastructure projects.

Supervisor: Associate Professor Amanda Beatson
