Rising construction costs drove higher prices for new dwellings

New dwelling prices have recorded their largest rise since September 2000, following the introduction of the GST. Price rises were driven by high levels of building construction activity combined with ongoing shortages of materials and labour. Fewer payments of government construction grants compared to the previous quarter also contributed to the rise. These grants have the effect of reducing out of pocket expenses for new dwelling purchases.

Fuel prices at record level

Automotive fuel prices rose for the seventh consecutive quarter, resulting in the strongest annual rise since the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990. The Automotive fuel series reached a record level in the March quarter due to an oil price shock caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, paired with ongoing easing of COVID-19 restrictions strengthening global demand. The national quarterly average price for unleaded petrol increased to $1.83 per litre in the March quarter.

Two speed rental market continues across capital cities

Rents in Sydney and Melbourne recorded small rises in the March quarter. Rents across the remaining capital cities continue to record relatively stronger rises, reflecting historically low vacancy rates.

The positive growth in rents for Sydney and Melbourne was mainly driven by rising rents for houses, while other dwellings recorded a relatively smaller rise in Sydney and a small fall in Melbourne. Rental conditions for other dwellings remained subdued in Melbourne reflecting higher vacancy rates. Rents for both houses and other dwellings increased at a similar rate in the remaining capital cities.

Gap between discretionary and non-discretionary inflation continued to grow

Non-discretionary annual inflation was 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 which have all experienced price rises through the year.

In the quarter Non-discretionary inflation grew by 3 per cent. This was driven by Housing, Automotive fuel and Food.

Vouchers for meals out and takeaway softened food price rises

The food group includes both grocery food products and meals out and takeaway foods. Grocery food products (+4.0%) were the main contributor to the food group in the March quarter. This movement was softened by meals out and takeaway foods (+0.7%), which saw price rises partially offset by voucher schemes reducing out of pocket costs for consumers in some cities.

New dwelling purchase by owner occupiers rose 5.7%. This was 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.
Fewer grant payments this quarter from the Federal Government's HomeBuilder program and similar state-based housing construction programs also contributed to the rise.
The following graph shows the new dwellings series including and excluding government housing construction grants.

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

In all capital cities:

New dwelling purchase by owner occupiers (+5.7%) rose. Continuing strong demand for housing construction enabled builders to pass through increases in costs for both materials and labour driven by ongoing supply constraints. The largest rise was recorded in Perth (+15.8%), followed by Brisbane (+6.0%) and Melbourne (+4.7%).
Automotive fuel (+11.0%) rose due to a global oil price shock following the Russian invasion of Ukraine combined with easing COVID restrictions globally. The largest rise was recorded in Adelaide (+12.6%), followed by Darwin (+12.0%) and Brisbane (+11.9%).
Tertiary education (+6.3%) rose due to the continued introduction of the new band and fee schedule with more students on the higher fee structure this year. The largest price rises were recorded in Hobart (+7.4%), Brisbane (+7.2%) and Canberra (+7.2%).

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.
