PREFACE
Regional Statistics, Northern Territory, 2008, presents a statistical summary of key economic and social information for the Northern Territory (NT) and selected regions within it. It contains current and historical data drawn from Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and non-ABS sources.
This is the thirteenth edition of
Regional Statistics, Northern Territory which forms a key part of the ABS' strategy to improve the availability and range of regional statistical information. Information presented covers a wide range of subjects. Its purpose is to give readers an overview of the social, economic and environmental characteristics of the NT and its regions. Data is presented for the latest available year, and some tables include time series observations for the NT and Australia for additional comparison. This publication complements the standard set of key economic and social data for various geographic levels across Australia which is available via the
National Regional Profiles (cat. no. 1379.0).
This publication draws extensively on information provided by government agencies and other organisations. The ABS wishes to acknowledge the contribution of those organisations. Their continued cooperation is greatly appreciated. The inclusion of data from sources beyond the ABS' own collection adds to the value of the publication by creating a more complete and detailed statistical picture of the Northern Territory. Without the support of these external agencies the wide range of statistics at the regional level would not be available for general use by the community.
