JUNE QUARTER

Summary Comments

New South Wales
  • New South Wales' state final demand increased 1.2% in the June quarter following a revised increase of 0.2% in the March quarter. There was growth across all four major components. Private gross fixed capital formation was the largest contributor to growth. The increase was driven by total dwellings and total machinery and equipment. Growth in public gross fixed capital formation is being driven by the general government sector offset by a slight fall from public non-financial corporations. Household final consumption expenditure also contributed strongly to growth.

Victoria
  • Victoria's state final demand increased by 1.3% in the June quarter and follows a 1.7% increase in the March quarter. Private gross fixed capital formation was the largest contributor to growth. The increase in private gross fixed capital formation was driven by total non-dwelling construction. Both household and government final consumption expenditure continued to grow in the quarter. There was a decline in public gross fixed capital formation, driven by general government capital formation.

Queensland
  • Queensland's state final demand increased by 1.1% in the June quarter and follows a 0.2% increase in the March quarter. Private gross fixed capital formation drove the increase, in turn driven by an increase in total machinery and equipment. Household final consumption expenditure also contributed strongly to growth. There was a marginal increase in government final consumption expenditure although this was partially offset in state final demand by a weak fall in public gross fixed capital formation.
