SEPTEMBER QUARTER

Summary Comments

New South Wales
  • New South Wales State final demand increased 0.1% in the September quarter and follows a 1.6% increase in the June quarter. Private gross fixed capital formation was the main contributor to growth and was driven by increases in Machinery and equipment and New and used dwellings. Government final consumption expenditure also contributed to the rise, driven by State and local, and Household final consumption expenditure. Offsetting these movements was a fall in Public gross fixed capital formation which was due to a fall in General government.

Victoria
  • Victoria State final demand decreased 0.4% in the September quarter and follows a 1.3% increase in the June quarter. Public gross fixed capital formation was the main detractor from growth and was driven by State and local general government. Also contributing to the fall was Government final consumption expenditure driven by a fall in both National and State and local. Offsetting the fall was an increase in Household final consumption expenditure.

Queensland
  • Queensland State final demand increased 0.1% in the September quarter following a 0.7% increase in the June quarter. Household final consumption expenditure and Private gross fixed capital formation were the largest contributors to growth. The increase in Private gross fixed capital formation was driven by a rise in New engineering construction and New and used dwellings. Offsetting these movements was a decrease in Public gross fixed capital formation with falls across both Public corporations and General government.

South Australia
  • South Australia State final demand increased 0.1% in the September quarter following a 0.8% increase in the June quarter. Household final consumption was the main contributor to growth. Offsetting this rise was the continued fall in Private gross fixed capital formation while Public gross fixed capital formation and Government final consumption expenditure also decreased. Decreases in Non-dwelling construction, Ownership transfer costs and Total dwellings drove the fall in Private gross fixed capital formation.

Western Australia
  • Western Australia State final demand decreased 3.8% in the September quarter and follows a 2.7% fall in the June quarter. Private gross fixed capital formation continues to be the largest detractor from growth driven by falls in Total dwellings, Non-dwelling construction and Machinery and equipment. Public gross fixed capital formation also decreased this quarter with falls across both Public corporations and General government. Offsetting this was a rise in Household final consumption expenditure.

Tasmania
  • Tasmania State final demand decreased 0.3% in the September quarter following a 1.1% rise in the June quarter. Public gross fixed capital formation was the largest detractor from growth, driven by a fall in General government. Government final consumption expenditure also detracted from growth, with decreases in both National and State and local. Offsetting these falls was a rise in Household final consumption expenditure.

Northern Territory
  • Northern Territory State final demand increased 4.7% in the September quarter following a 2.1% increase in the June quarter. Private gross fixed capital formation was the largest contributor to growth and was driven by a rise in Non-dwelling construction. Public gross fixed capital formation also increased, driven by a rise in General government, as did Government final consumption expenditure, driven by both National and State and local.

Australian Capital Territory
  • Australian Capital Territory State final demand decreased 1.3% in the September quarter, following a 4.2% increase in the June quarter. Public gross fixed capital formation and Government final consumption expenditure were the largest detractors from growth. The decrease in Public gross fixed capital formation is driven by a fall in General government, while the fall in Government final consumption expenditure is driven by a fall in National and State and local. Offsetting these movements was an increase in Private gross fixed capital formation driven by a rise in Non-dwelling construction.
