SAS envision a world where everyone can make better decisions, grounded in trusted data and assisted by the productivity and speed of SAS AI and analytics. When decisions need to happen at just the right moment, you need the world’s most trustworthy analytics brand and people to give you confidence.

Project statement

SAS is a leader in advanced analytics and some of its largest customers in Australia are leading banking institutions. As banks engage in a fierce battle to attract and retain customers, they may inadvertently lock in riskier customers on thin margins, affecting their long-term profitability. To navigate these complex dynamics and mitigate potential risks, it is crucial to develop data-driven home loan origination models, segmentation, and other analytical outputs.

Project objectives

1. To develop and evaluate home loan origination models using advanced analytics tools and banking data, to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the loan approval process in the Australian housing market.
2. To segment potential home loan borrowers based on their financial profiles, credit scores, and risk factors, enabling banks to tailor their loan products and services to better cater to the diverse needs of borrowers.
3. To analyse the current home loan climate in Australia, identifying trends, challenges, and opportunities that can inform banks' strategies and decision-making processes.
4. To investigate the impact of regulatory and economic factors on home loan origination and affordability, providing insights into potential policy recommendations for improving the overall health of the housing market.

RELA is a first-of-its-kind marketplace providing the infrastructure and services for landowners to navigate the renewable energy market, connect with suitable project partners, negotiate fair agreements, optimise financial outcomes, and safeguard land use across Australia.

Project statement

The renewable energy market in Australia is fractured and projects lack social license amongst various stakeholders. One key input to this marketplace is the incorporation of codes of conduct (‘codes’) and objectives from other stakeholders such as peak bodies and government authorities into the land agreements. This is a key factor in obtaining the social license and broad based support for renewable energy projects.

Project objectives

1. Create database of peak bodies and government authorities stakeholders relevant to renewable energy projects in Australia.
2. Investigate the various codes and objectives of these stakeholders for renewable energy projects.
3. Synthesise the various codes and objectives into key themes.
4. Translate the key themes into project tender terms of reference that can be incorporated into RELA’s fair process of negotiation between developers and landowners.

RELA will have the information necessary to incorporate stakeholder objectives and codes into project tender documents and, subsequently, land agreements.
