NAME OF ORGANISATION Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) OVERVIEW The collection was a survey of employing businesses in the Australian and New Zealand Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) classes 9311, 9312, 9319, part 9321, 9322, part 9329, part 9330, 5720 and 5740. Also included are Local Government Authorities (8113) and various state and federal sporting authorities (8111, 8112). The seven sport, recreation and gambling industries and two hospitality industries (listed above) were included in the one collection because of the degree to which their activities overlap eg sports businesses with gambling facilities. PURPOSE The collection was undertaken in response to government's need for financial information about the sport, recreation and gambling industries. Growth in these industries is of widespread interest, especially the gambling industry.

Businesses were selected on the basis of their ANZSIC/ACLC at the management unit level (except for 9330 which is at the establishment level). Where businesses are also engaged in activities not classified to the sports, recreation and gambling industries (e.g. sales of takeaway food), the data for those activities are included as income for those businesses. Businesses whose primary source of income is from activities other than sports, recreation and gambling (e.g. income from sales of food), were excluded from this survey. Data is available at the ANZSIC class level for gambling and recreation industries, and the ACLC level for sporting industries.
