Rising construction costs drive higher prices for new dwellings

High levels of building construction activity combined with shortages of materials and labour have contributed to two consecutive quarters of the largest rise in new dwelling prices since September 2000, following the introduction of the GST. Fewer payments of Government construction grants compared to the previous quarter also contributed to the rise this quarter. These grants have the effect of reducing out of pocket expenses for new dwellings being purchased.

Petrol prices at record level

Automotive fuel prices rose for the sixth consecutive quarter, resulting in the strongest annual rise since 1990. The Automotive fuel series reached a record level in the December quarter due to higher global oil prices amid economic recovery and lower global supply. The national quarterly average price for unleaded petrol increased to $1.64 per litre in the December quarter. This release includes an update to the article on the history of 'Automotive fuel in the CPI'.

Price rises for goods outstrips services

Price rises in automotive fuel and new dwelling purchases were the main contributors to Goods inflation in 2021. Prices also increased across a broad range of other goods with strong demand and supply disruptions leading to price rises for goods such as furniture and motor vehicles.

Non-discretionary inflation more than double Discretionary inflation

Non-discretionary annual inflation is higher than the CPI and more than twice the rate of Discretionary inflation. Non-discretionary inflation includes goods and services that households are less likely to reduce their consumption of, such as food, automotive fuel, housing and health costs.

Food and non-alcoholic beverages group (+0.7%)

Alcohol and tobacco group (+0.9%)

Tobacco (+2.1%) rose partially due to the flow-on effect of the Average Weekly Ordinary Time Earnings (AWOTE) excise increase of 1.4% that was applied on 1 September 2021. Since 2013, a 12.5% increase in the tobacco excise has led to strong rises each December quarter. 2021 was the first year since 2013 not to have the 12.5% excise tax increase applied.

In seasonally adjusted terms, the group rose 0.9%. The main contributor was Tobacco (+1.3%).

Over the past twelve months the group rose 1.1%. This was the smallest annual rise for the group since 1997. The annual movement for tobacco fell from 9.8% in the September 2021 quarter, to 1.1% in the December 2021 quarter due to the ending of the 12.5% excise tax increase, in place since 2013.

Clothing and footwear group (+2.6%)

Housing group (+1.8%)

New dwelling purchase by owner occupiers rose 4.2%. This is the largest rise since the September 2000 quarter following the introduction of the GST. Continuing strong demand for housing construction enabled builders to pass through increases in costs for both materials and labour. Government housing construction grants had less of an impact this quarter due to fewer grant payments compared to the September quarter 2021. These Government construction grants have the effect of reducing prices paid by households purchasing new dwellings.
The following graph shows the new dwellings series including and excluding government housing construction grants.

Maintenance and repair of the dwelling rose 2.4%. This was the largest quarterly rise since the September quarter 2000. The rise was mainly driven by increases in timber, hardware and paint prices due to supply shortages and strong demand stemming from heightened construction activity.
Rents rose 0.1% with the continuation of subdued rental conditions in Sydney and Melbourne offsetting the strength in the other capital cities. Sydney and Melbourne continue to record higher vacancy rates compared to the remaining capital cities.

In seasonally adjusted terms, the group rose 1.9%. The main contributor was New dwelling purchases by owner occupiers (+4.2%).

Over the past twelve months the group rose 4.0%. The main contributor to the rise was New dwelling purchases by owner occupiers (+7.5%).

Furnishings, household equipment and services group (+1.1%)

Health group (-0.3%)

Automotive fuel rose 6.6% due to increased global demand for oil as COVID-19 restrictions continued to ease and global oil supply remained limited. Fuel prices reached record levels in the December quarter.
Motor vehicles rose 1.9% due to supply constraints restricting global supply chains, coupled with strong domestic demand.

In seasonally adjusted terms, the group rose 2.9%. The main contributor was Automotive fuel (6.6%).

Over the past twelve months the group rose 12.5%. Automotive fuel (+32.3%) and Motor vehicles (+6.3%) were the main contributors.

a. Index reference period: 2011-12 = 100.0.

In all capital cities:

New dwelling purchase by owner-occupiers (+4.2%) rose in all capital cities. Continuing strong demand for housing construction enabled builders to pass through increases in costs for both materials and labour. Ongoing supply constraints for materials and labour in some cities also contributed to rising prices. The largest price rise was recorded in Hobart (+8.5%), followed by Adelaide (+6.8%) and Brisbane (+6.4%).
Automotive fuel increased (+6.6%) with strong rises seen across all capital cities during the quarter. Prices rose due to increased global demand for oil as a result of eased COVID-19 restrictions. The largest price rise was recorded in Hobart (+12.4%), followed by Darwin (+9.9%) and Perth (+9.4%).
Domestic holiday travel and accommodation (+4.8%) rose as border closures eased during the quarter, leading to increased demand for domestic airfares and accommodation. The largest price rises were recorded in Sydney (+7.8%), Perth (+5.3%) and Melbourne (+4.1%).

Using price indexes

Price indexes in contracts

Price indexes published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) provide summary measures of the movements in various categories of prices over time. They are published primarily for use in Government economic analysis. Price indexes are also often used in contracts by businesses and government to adjust payments and/or charges to take account of changes in categories of prices (Indexation Clauses).

Use of Price Indexes in Contracts that sets out a range of issues that should be taken into account by parties considering including an Indexation Clause in a contract using an ABS published price index.
