STATE/TERRITORY SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
This chapter contains key data of industry performance at the state and territory level, together with data illustrating the contribution of the mining industry in each state and territory. Data for the Australian Capital Territory are included with those for New South Wales and not are available separately. For convenience, the combined estimates are designated as New South Wales data in the commentary below.
KEY DATA
Table 3.1 presents a time series for selected items for all states and the Northern Territory, from 2001-02 to 2003-04. The data relate to the industry designated as 'SELECTED MINING', that is, ANZSIC subdivisions 11-14 (COAL MINING, OIL AND GAS EXTRACTION, METAL ORE MINING and OTHER MINING) only. ANZSIC subdivision 15 (SERVICES TO MINING) is excluded from the data in this table, because the design of the survey does not support production of data at the state and territory level. State and/or territory estimates for businesses which operate across more than one state or territory are based on additional data supplied by those businesses (see Explanatory Notes paragraph 33 for more details).
SALES AND SERVICE INCOME
Between 2002-03 and 2003-04, sales and service income of the SELECTED MINING industry decreased in all states and territories apart from South Australia and Tasmania. Queensland recorded the largest absolute decrease, falling $1.4b (10%) to $12.0b. In percentage terms the greatest decrease was experienced by the Northern Territory, falling 19% ($481m) to $2.1b. Tasmania's sales and service income rose by 9%, and South Australia's by 7%.
Over the period from 2001-02 to 2003-04, only New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia recorded increases in the sales and service income of SELECTED MINING. The largest absolute increase occurred in Western Australia ($2.3b), and the largest percentage increase was in South Australia (22%). In dollar terms Victoria registered the largest decrease ($1.5b), and the largest percentage decrease was in the Northern Territory (32%).
In 2003-04, Western Australia accounted for 45% of sales and service income of the SELECTED MINING industry, followed by Queensland at 23%; New South Wales contributed 16% of the total.
INDUSTRY VALUE ADDED
Movements in sales and service income between 2002-03 and 2003-04 have been accompanied by changes in IVA in the same direction. In absolute terms Western Australia recorded the largest decrease, a $952m (6%) fall to $16.0b. IVA in New South Wales declined by $980m, or 23%, and Queensland fell by $937m or 15%. The largest percentage decline (26%) in IVA occurred in the Northern Territory. The only states in which IVA for this industry increased were South Australia (up 13% to $1.3b) and Tasmania (up 88% to $203m).
Increases in IVA were recorded over the period from 2001-02 to 2003-04 in South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania. These were outweighed by decreases elsewhere, notably in Victoria (down $1.5b, or 30%) and the Northern Territory ($0.9b, or 40%), to reduce the Australian estimate of IVA for SELECTED MINING by 6%.
In 2003-04, Western Australia's $16.0b of industry value added represented 52% of the Australian total for SELECTED MINING; Queensland contributed 17%. At 11%, Victoria's contribution to IVA exceeds its share of sales and service income (8%).
EMPLOYMENT
The SELECTED MINING industry increased employment between 2002-03 and 2003-04 in all states and territories except Victoria, gaining 3.1% nationally. In absolute terms, employment increased most strongly in Queensland (1,046 persons, or 7%), followed by New South Wales (449 persons, or 3%). At 22% (or 307 persons), the Northern Territory's percentage increase was the highest. Employment in SELECTED MINING declined by 955 persons (or 23%) in Victoria.
Over the period from 2001-02 to 2003-04, Western Australia's increase in employment was greatest in number (2,275 persons or 11%) and Queensland had the largest increase in percentage terms (13% or 1,767 persons). Compared to 2001-02 there were 408 (or 11%) fewer persons employed in SELECTED MINING in Victoria, and 245 (17%) in Tasmania at the end of June 2004.
In 2003-04, 37% of employment in the SELECTED MINING industry was recorded against Western Australia, followed by Queensland with 25%; New South Wales contributed 22% of the total. This pattern differs from the shares of sales and service income and IVA among the major states as outlined above, largely reflecting differing labour intensities of the types of mining predominant in each state and territory.
COMPARISON ACROSS INDUSTRY
Table 3.2 shows the contribution of industries to the production (as measured by total factor income) of each state and territory, as well as Australia, in 2003-04. For the purposes of this table, the activity of general government and the ownership of dwellings are each treated as industries.
In 2003-04, the largest share of production on this basis was contributed by PROPERTY AND BUSINESS SERVICES, which generated 13.0% of total factor income. Of the nineteen industries shown, MINING ranked ninth nationally, contributing 4.6%. Its share of total factor income varied markedly among the states and territories. MINING was by far the dominant industry in the Northern Territory - where, at 19%, its share of total factor income is more than twice that of the next largest industry - and in Western Australia. In Queensland it ranked sixth.
