Background
The December quarter 2001 release of Private New Capital Expenditure, State Estimates (cat. no. 5646.0) was the final issue of that publication and associated electronic output. From the March quarter 2002 (to be released on 30 May 2002), Private New Capital Expenditure, Australia (cat. no. 5625.0) and associated electronic output will be the sole source of output from the Survey of Private New Capital Expenditure.
All state data previously included in the electronic releases from 5646.0 will continue to be available in 5625.0's electronic releases.
The 5646.0 release has, in addition to state data, included Australian level data which in some cases was updated from those data previously released in 5625.0 some 3 weeks earlier. These series will no longer be duplicated.
In addition to these existing state series, chain volume measures of state capital expenditure will be released for the first time from the March quarter 2002.

The following files are already included in 5625.0 output and have the same names:
Table 1a
Table 1b
Table 1c
Table 1e
Table 1f
Table 2 in 5646.0 is the same file as Table 3a in 5625.0.
New names for some state-level Ausstats files
The following 5646.0 files will retain the same contents but will be re-named in the 5625.0 release:
Table 3 will become Table 4a
Table 4 will become Table 4b
Table 5 will become Table 4c.

Details of state chain volume measures
From the March quarter 2002 release, chain volume measures by state will be available for the first time. These data will be compiled at the total all industries level by state for each asset type and will be available in original, seasonally adjusted and trend terms. The format of these files will be consistent with the current price files (4a, 4b and 4c, above).
The new files are:
Table 5a - Actual expenditure by type of asset and state, chain volume measures, original ($m)
Table 5b - Actual expenditure by type of asset and state, chain volume measures, seasonally adjusted ($m)
Table 5c - Actual expenditure by type of asset and state, chain volume measures, trend ($m)
Existing 5625.0 files
All files currently released in 5625.0 will remain unchanged in name and content.
