CULTURAL AND RECREATIONAL SERVICES

Definition and scope

The Cultural and recreational services industry includes all units mainly engaged in providing cultural and recreational facilities and services.

ANZSIC Division P, Cultural and recreational services, consists of three sub-divisions:

• Motion pictures, radio and television services (sub-division 91)
• Library, museums and the arts (sub-division 92)
• Sport and recreation (sub-division 93).

Summary of GSP(P) sources and methods

The methodology for Cultural and recreational services uses an output indicator approach to compile state by industry GVA estimates. Output volumes are derived using price deflation of the state output indicators for Cultural and recreational services. The output volumes then form the basis upon which volume measures of value added are derived.

The private sector output indicators used are current price income from the sales of goods and services by state for the Cultural and recreational services industry collected in QBIS from 2001-02. Prior to QBIS the annual national industry current price GVA is split using state weights based on QBIS. Private sector state deflators for Cultural and recreational services are derived using components of the CPI by capital city and HFCE implicit price deflators.

The public sector output indicators are annual current price estimates of government expenditure on Cultural and recreational services by state, sourced from the ABS Government Finance Statistics, Australia (GFS) (cat. no. 5512.0). These estimates are deflated using the implicit price deflators for Government final consumption expenditure (GFCE) (excluding Defence) split into Commonwealth and State and Local Government by state.

The state volume GVAs are then benchmarked to the annual national industry volume GVA.

New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia exhibited a similar growth pattern to Australia from 1995-96 to 2005-06, while Western Australia, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory followed the Australian growth pattern from 2001-02 onwards. Throughout the time series, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory had variable growth patterns while all other states exhibited more consistent growth patterns. All states experienced moderate to high growth during 2000-01, in part due to the impacts of the Sydney Olympics. In 2005-06, all states were coming off the growth peaks experienced in the last three years with Western Australia and the Northern Territory exhibiting negative growth rates.
