Map of South Australia's Statistical Divisions (PDF 3.083MB) CONSTRUCTION WORK DONE In the September quarter 2010, the total value of building work done (in trend terms)* in South Australia rose to $1,379.8m, an increase of 1.5% over the June quarter 2010. Between the December quarters 2007 and 2009, the trend* estimate for the value of engineering work done rose sharply ($660.8m to $1,223.1m). Since this time, the value of engineering work has fallen to $1,065.3m in the September quarter 2010. The upsurge in engineering construction between the December quarters 2007 and 2009 was the focus of the feature article presented in the April 2010 issue of SA Stats. *INTRODUCTION OF NEW BASE YEAR A new base year, 2008-09, has been introduced into the chain volume estimates which has resulted in revisions to growth rates in subsequent periods. In addition, the chain volume estimates have been re-referenced to 2008-09, thereby preserving additivity in the quarters after the reference year. Re-referencing affects the levels of, but not the movements in, chain volume estimates. Document Selection These documents will be presented in a new window.
