Index reference period: 2011-12 - 100.0.

The main contributors to quarterly growth in Final demand were:

Heavy and civil engineering construction (+2.1%), due to rises in wages and materials supported by increased public sector investment stimulus.
Output of building construction (+2.2%), due to builders continuing to pass through increases in material and trade prices, supported by continued strong demand for housing.
Petroleum refining and petroleum fuel manufacturing (+11.8%), due to rising global crude oil demand and delays in OPEC+ oil agreement to raise production.

Offsetting the rise were price falls in:

Accommodation services (-5.5%), due to decreased domestic travel demand, resulting from COVID-19 restrictions and border closures throughout the quarter.

The annual rise of 2.9% in Final demand to September 2021 is the strongest increase since December 2011.

Quarterly Final demand increased due to price rises in Heavy and civil engineering, Building construction outputs and rising oil costs

Construction

Input to the house construction industry

Input prices to the house construction industry rose 4.0%

Input prices to house construction rose due to strong material cost increases and state and federal based grants driving demand in the residential sector. Supply shortages and increasing transport costs for steel and timber materials have placed upward pressure on prices.

Over the past twelve months, Input prices to house construction rose 8.0%, due to; Timber, board and joinery (+12.2%) and Other metal products (+8.8%).

Input prices to house construction recorded particularly large increases over the last 12 months

Input prices to house construction rose in line with increased demand and costs for building materials, the main contributors were:

Timber, board and joinery (+5.3%), driven by structural timber (+9.3%), due to continued supply shortages for timber.
Other metal products (+5.3%), driven by aluminium windows and doors (+7.9%), due to price rises in aluminium, glass and timber as a result of increasing international freight costs and production shortages.
Steel products (+13.1%), driven by steel beams and sections (+11.1%) due to supply chain disruptions and strong global metals prices.
Other materials (+2.3%), driven by carpet and floor covering (+4.2%), due to end of promotional sales and suppliers passing through increasing costs.

Quarterly input prices to house construction increased significantly due to rising timber, steel and other metals costs

Output of the construction industry

Output prices of the construction industries

Building construction prices rose 2.1% this quarter and 5.4% over the past twelve months.

Government stimulus in the residential sector and increased activity due to public investment in infrastructure is driving demand for labour. Continued supply shortages have resulted in an upward trend in material prices.

The quarterly price movements by class were:

House construction (+3.7%)
Other residential building construction (+1.0%)
Non-residential construction (+1.5%)

Quarterly output prices of Building construction rose due to increased activity in the residential and infrastructure sectors, driving demand for labour and materials

House construction prices rose 3.7%

House construction prices rose, driven by increases in trade prices and rising material costs for timber and steel due to supply constraints. Increased industry demand has enabled builders to continue passing on rising costs from suppliers and reduce bonus offers.

Over the past twelve months House construction prices rose 8.9%.

Quarterly House construction prices increased due to high material costs. Queensland recorded its strongest increase (+7.0%) since the start of the series in September 1998

East Coast gas extraction prices increased more than West Coast in the September quarter 2021

Image

Description

This map shows Domestic gas extraction quarterly price change. West coast rose 4.7.% Prices for West coast domestic gas extraction rose over the quarter, inline with global oil prices. Oil prices have rebounded after strong falls in 2020 due to COVID-19. East coast rose 10.4% Prices for East coast domestic gas extraction rose over the quarter. The price increase is driven by international LNG markets.

The main contributors to Output price rises to the manufacturing industries were:

Petroleum refining and petroleum fuel manufacturing (+11.6%), due to increases in global crude oil prices, driven by continued recovery in transport fuel demand and delays to OPEC+ production supply agreements.
Meat processing manufacturing (+7.7%), due to strong global demand for beef and reduced supply, exports from Brazil declined following detected cases of mad cow disease and export restrictions continued in Argentina.
Other basic non-ferrous metal manufacturing (+4.3%), due to precious metals, driven by a depreciation in the Australian dollar offsetting a small decrease in global gold prices.

Offsetting the rise, were price falls in:

Synthetic resin and synthetic rubber manufacturing (-5.0%), due to global supplies returning to normal after colder than average US winter temperatures slowed production.
Wine and other alcoholic beverage manufacturing (-1.1%), due to price falls in wine exports driven by improved growing conditions as vineyards continue to recover after the 2020 bushfires.
Biscuit manufacturing (-2.0%), due to promotional activity on biscuits and rusks.

Quarterly manufacturing output price rises were driven by crude oil, beef and gold

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 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.
