NOTE

State and Regional Indicators, Victoria provides a summary of statistical information for Victoria at the state and/or regional level. Statistical highlights are included in each chapter, along with commentary, graphs and maps on selected indicators.

The statistics presented in this issue are the latest available as at 6 May 2010, with one exception. The table containing quarterly agricultural production data is presented on a common reference period for all data items. Live sheep exports data for March quarter 2010 were available at this date, but they have not been included as the remaining data in the table were not yet available for that period.

CHANGES IN THIS ISSUE

State and Regional Indicators, Victoria is released on a quarterly basis with chapters updated when new data are available. Chapters and tables are only included when new data are available, so the number of chapters and tables may vary between issues.

A new chapter in this issue is Health. Additional content to spotlight some recent ABS annual releases has also been added to the Work and Income chapter.

The table 'Condition of VicRoads Network, By Local Government Area - 2007-08' was expected to be published in this issue of the publication, however the data are not yet available.


EXPLANATORY NOTES

Explanatory notes in the form found in other ABS publications are not included in State and Regional Indicators, Victoria. For detailed information on the statistics, users are directed to the Explanatory notes contained in related ABS publications.

Users are advised that small area estimates presented in this publication should be used with care.

Due to rounding, discrepancies may occur between sums of the component items and totals in individual tables, and between totals in related tables.


REVIEW OF DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

A review of the ABS Victorian Office dissemination strategy for Victorian state and regional statistics, including both State and Regional Indicators, Victoria and the newsletter Statistics Victoria (cat. no. 1100.2) has recently been completed. Recommendations are currently being considered, and publications will continue as usual in the meantime.

Thank-you to all those who provided feedback and participated in the process.
