Industry structure

Industry Structure is presented in four sections to answer the following questions:

What is the economic base of the local economy and how is it changing? (Industry employment and performance);
How does each industry sector contribute to the local economy? (Industry sector profiles);
How many businesses are there in each industry sector and what is their size? (Registered businesses), and;
Where are the jobs in each industry sector located? (Employment locations).

The Industry employment and performance section presents a picture of the economic role and function of an area. Employment, Value added and Output are three strongly related ways of measuring the contribution that each industry sector makes to the economy. When presented by industry sector they form a profile of the economic base of the LGA, revealing which industries are dominant and which are emerging. This provides the basis for drilling down to analyse key industries of interest in more detail by exploring the Industry Sector Profiles, Registered Businesses, and Employment Locations.

Registered businesses

This section presents the number and size of businesses within each industry sector using the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Business Register. Business size is represented in terms of turnover and number of employees. This provides further insight into the nature of each industry sector and how it is structured. Some industry sectors are characterised by few large business while other sectors are characterised by a large number of smaller businesses.

NOTE: The ABS Business Register does not count 'General Government Institutions’ as businesses per se. This has a significant impact on organisation counts in the 'Education' and 'Health & Community Services' sectors because:

institutions such as public hospitals, universities and public schools are not included in this data; and
these institutions are often large employers and significant contributors to the local economy.

Note however, all other data presented in economy.id^® includes General Government Institutions in the relevant industry sector categories.

More information about what is included and excluded as a registered business can be founded in the specific table notes.

Industries are classified according to an industry coding system. The 1993 Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) is not the lastest standard but provides a comparable classification for time-series data. This standard was used to code industry data for the 1996, 2001 and 2006 censuses, (2006 industry data was coded to both the 1993 and the 2006 standards).

For more information please refer to the 2006 Census Dictionary, and ANZSIC classification.
