PROPERTY AND BUSINESS SERVICES

Definition and scope

The Property and business services industry includes all units mainly engaged in renting and leasing assets as well as units engaged in providing a wide variety of business services.


ANZSIC Division L, Property and business services, consists of two sub-divisions:

  • Property services (sub-division 77)
  • Business services (sub-division 78).


Summary of GSP(P) sources and methods

The methodology for Property and business services uses an output indicator approach to compile state by industry GVA estimates. The output volumes then form the basis upon which volume measures of value added are derived.


From 2001-02, Property and business services current price estimates, by state, are sourced from QBIS. The national Property services and business services deflators, sourced from PPI, are used to form output indicators as no state deflators are available. The Property and business services output volume indicators are then used to derive volume estimates at the division level. The volume output measure is then backcast to 1989-90 based on hours worked series from ABS Labour Force, Australia. The state volume GVAs are benchmarked to the annual national industry volume GVA.

New South Wales exhibited a similar growth pattern to Australia throughout the time series except for 2001-02. The Northern Territory had strong growth in 1998-99 and from 2002-03 onwards, which was due to a number of major construction projects being undertaken. Queensland has had high growth in the last five years. In 2005-06, New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania all experienced negative growth of -1.8%, -6.4% and -5.5% respectively.
