Land useThe Central Coast Council area features both urban and rural areas. Eightyfive per cent of the area’s population livealong the coastal strip. The principal townships are Ulverstone and Penguin, with smaller townships at Forth, Gawler,Heybridge, Leith, Sulphur Creek and Turners Beach. Rural land is used largely for agriculture, including poppies,pyrethrum, peas, potatoes and onion growing, and timber production and livestock enterprises. Tourism is also animportant industry. The Council area encompasses a total land area of about 930 square kilometres.
TransportThe Central Coast Council area is served by the Bass Highway.
Settlement historyEuropean settlement dates from the late 1830s, when many timbercutters arrived. Land was also used foragriculture. Growth took place during the late 1800s, when several ports operated and the railway line fromLaunceston was opened. The most significant residential development occurred from the 1950s into the 1970s. Thepopulation grew slightly from the 1970s to the 1990s. The population was relatively stable from 1991 to 2011, atabout 20,000 people.
Regional labour forceThe Central Coast Council area labour force region is defined by an area in which a significant percentage of workerstravelled into the Central Coast Council area to work at the 2011 Census. Details of this calculation and a list of areasincluded can be found in the data notes.

Fulltime equivalent (FTE) employment is modelled by NIEIR and takes into account differences in hours workedbetween industry sectors. It is a measure that allows direct comparison of employment between industries in theCentral Coast Council area.
Typically, industries such as Retail Trade and Accommodation and Food Services, which employ many parttimeworkers, have lower FTE employment than total employment.
FTE employment is calculated directly by dividing the total hours worked in each industry by 38.
FTE employment should be viewed in conjunction with Total Employment and Census Employment, for a fullunderstanding of the industry breakdown in the area. Worker Productivity data shows the value of a worker in eachindustry to the local economy. Employment Locations shows where employment is taking place in each industrysector.
NOTE: FTE employment is derived from Census data but has been corrected for the known undercount ofemployment in the Census. Detailed notes about how the figures are derived can be found in the specific topic notessection.

Value added by industry is an indicator of business productivity in Central Coast Council area. It shows howproductive each industry sector is at increasing the value of its inputs. It is a more refined measure of the productivityof an industry sector than output (total gross revenue), as some industries have high levels of output but requirelarge amounts of input expenditure to achieve that.
To see what contribution each industry makes to the state or region, see the Industry Sector Analysis section. Tounderstand the value of a worker in each industry, view this dataset in conjunction with Worker Productivity data, andto see the relationship of valueadded to the total size of the economy, go to the Gross Regional Product section.
Detailed notes about how the figures are derived can be found in the specific topic notes section.

Worker productivity by industry is calculated by dividing the industry value add by the number of persons employed inthat industry. It shows which industries generate the most value add per employee. Some industry sectors, such asretail trade, are not highly productive per worker, but they employ a lot of people. Other industries, such as mining,employ fewer people but generate high levels of productivity. Each plays an important role in the economy.
Worker productivity data should be viewed in conjunction with Total Employment and FTE Employment, to see therelative size of employment in each industry, and with Worker Profiles Income to see how much workers actually eachin each industry, and with Sources of Income data to see whether employment is the main way income is derived.
Detailed notes about how the figures are derived can be found in the specific topic notes section.

Registered business by industry shows how many businesses there are in Central Coast Council area within eachindustry sector using the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Business Register which itself is derived from the GSTregister held by the Australian Tax Office (ATO). Businesses are included if they are registered with the ATO, with anABN used within the previous two financial years. Businesses are split up between employing and nonemployingbusinesses. Nonemploying businesses may include sole traders and registered ABNs which are part of largerenterprises.
The distribution of businesses may reflect the industry structure of the area, or may differ significantly. For instance,the largest industry in an area may consist of one very large business, with a large number of employees, while asector with a lower valueadded could have a lot of small and micro businesses.
The number of businesses in the Central Coast Council area should be viewed in conjunction with Employment(Total) and ValueAdded datasets to see the relative size of industries, and with Employment Locations data to seewhere business employment occurs within the area.
Please note that this data set has several limitations which are explained in the data notes for this topic. Businessregister counts are an approximation to LGA boundaries based on SA2 level data provided by the Australian Bureauof Statistics. As such, they may not exactly match figures sourced directly from the ATO, due to boundary issues andthe application of ABS randomisation to the dataset. Notably, public sector institutions are not recorded which has asignificant impact on the numbers for Health Care, Education and Public Administration and Safety.

Industry sector profiles reveal the way in which each industry contributes to the economy in the Central Coast Councilarea using ten economic measures generated by NIEIR economic modelling. This helps in understanding the roleeach industry sector plays in the economy.
For example, some industry sectors generate substantial output (turnover), but are not big employers and targetingthose industry sectors may not meet the economic development objective of maximising employment.
In the first chart, you can also see how the output of an industry is divided between local sales, domestic exports andinternational exports. This information can reveal how an industry is structured, and whether it is focused on exportingor on serving the local population.
The table and second chart also show how the Central Coast Council area contributes to the wider economy. Forexample, the Central Coast Council area contributes 2.7% of Tasmania’s employment.
Industry sector analysis data should be viewed in conjunction with Total Employment, FTE Employment, ValueAdded,Imports and Exports to see how each specific industry fits into the wider picture of all industries within the CentralCoast Council area. To see how concentrated each industry sector is, visit the Employment Locations section.

Journey to Work (workers) data shows where the Central Coast Council area's workforce comes from and how farthey are travelling to access employment in the area.
This shows the degree to which the local economy draws on the wider region to supply labour for its industries. It isalso useful in planning and advocacy for roads and public transport provision.
The distance and direction travelled by workers in different industry sectors may be influenced by the nature ofemployment opportunities (higher paid, high value employment may draw people from a wider area); the skill levelrequired (jobs requiring tertiary qualifications will draw more workers from areas with high qualification levels amongthe residents) the number of jobs available in the industry sector (sectors with more opportunities may have a widercatchment); transport options available and commuting times to the Central Coast Council area.
Workers place of residence data should be viewed alongside SelfSufficiency and Employment Capacity datasets fora summary of local employment opportunity by industry, as well as modelled Employment (Total) numbers andEmployment Locations to understand the relative size of each industry sector and its distribution across the theCentral Coast Council area. To analyse the characteristics of the workforce in each industry, go to the Workersprofile section.

Journey to Work (residents) data shows where the Central Coast Council area's residents go to work and whetherthey need to travel significant distances to work. This impacts upon planning and advocacy for roads and publictransport provision, as well as economic development strategies to develop local employment which fits the skills andqualifications of the residents.
The distance travelled by residents in different industry sectors may be influenced by; the nature of employmentopportunities versus the skills and qualifications of local residents; transport options available and commuting times;relationship between wages and salaries (people will travel further for higher paid jobs), house prices in the localarea; and the geographic size of the local area (in large areas, local jobs may not in fact be so local, while in morecompact areas, workers may walk to work in a neighbouring LGA.).
Please note that where an industry has a very small number of employed residents, there may be no informationdisplayed on the map or the detailed table due to insufficient residents travelling to any one area to display. Thesummary table will still include the information for the total residents working locally or travelling outside the area towork.
Residents place of work data should be viewed alongside SelfContainment and Employment Capacity datasets, aswell as modelled Employed residents estimates, which are updated annually. The Resident Labour Force section willprovide the characteristics of the locally available labour force.

A goal of economic development is often to maximise the employment opportunities locally, leading to a more sociallyand environmentally sustainable community.
Employment capacity is a simple way of looking at whether the Central Coast Council area could theoretically providejobs for all its residents if they were to choose to work locally.
Employment capacity is simply the number of local jobs in an industry, divided by the number of local residentsemployed (anywhere) in that industry. A figure over 1.0 means there are more jobs available than residents employedin that industry. Under 1.0 means there are more residents employed than jobs available in that sector.
This is a theoretical exercise as, even if there are enough jobs provided locally, there will always be some people whochoose to commute out of the area.
Employment capacity data should be viewed in conjunction with SelfContainment and Residents place of work data,which provides detail about the actual proportion of residents working locally, and Gross Regional Product andWorker Productivity data which shows the economic contribution of residents and workers.

Individual Income is an indicator of socioeconomic status, skills and occupations required in a particular industry.With other data sources, such as Qualifications and Occupation, it helps to evaluate the economic opportunities ofpeople in an industry.
Income quartiles are used to condense income categories into manageable units, adjust for the effects of inflation,and allow areas to be compared over time relative to a benchmark. The incomes for a specified industry for the stateare split into four equal groups, each containing 25% of the workers in that industry, and the quartiles allow users tocompare changes in that industry in the local area to changes statewide, or against another benchmark. For moreinformation on how quartiles are calculated please refer to the data notes.
As well as being related to the type of jobs and qualifications required in a particular industry, income levels can berelated to the level of parttime employment, Occupations, Qualifications and the Age Structure of the workforce, sothe data should be looked at in conjunction with these topics.

Dominant groupsIncome quartiles allow us to compare relative incomeearning capabilities across time. Analysis of the distribution ofthe workforce by income quartile compared to Tasmania shows that there was lesser proportion of people in thehighest income quartile, and a greater proportion in the lowest income quartile.
Emerging groupsThe most significant change for the workforce between 2006 and 2011 was in the medium lowest quartile whichshowed an increase of 115 people.

The local labour force includes all people who are resident in the local area who are in the labour force (bothemployed and unemployed) regardless of where they work. In other words, it is the people who live locally andtherefore have the potential to work locally and so is an important resource for the local economy. Theircharacteristics inform us about the skills that are available locally, even if they are not currently employed in the localeconomy.

The Central Coast Council area Economic Profile provides economic analysis for the the Central Coast Council areaby combining 11 different datasets to build a cohesive story of a local economy,how it is changing and how itcompares to other areas.
It is a public resource designed to be used by council staff, community groups, investors, business people, studentsand the general public. You can be confident about the quality of the information as it is derived from official sourcesand the most robust economic modelling, analysed and presented by experts and funded by the Central CoastCouncil area. Each data source is maintained with the latest series so you can be sure you are using the most up todate information.
Results for the the Central Coast Council area include Gross Regional Product, local jobs, local businesses,employment, unemployment, population, building approvals, industry structure, journey to work and much more.
About National Economics (NIEIR)Reliable primary economic data sets exist only at the national, state and regional level at best. The only way to get arealistic measure of GRP, number of jobs and other economic indicators at the local area level is to undertakeeconomic modelling. The most significant challenge with local area economic modelling is to ensure that the processreflects the unique economic characteristics of the local area. For example, one of the traps is to apply national andstatelevel productivity propensities at the local level, which we now know are simply not accurate because it assumesthat the economic characteristics of all local areas are the same.
NIEIR are recognised as industry leaders in the development and provision of robust economic modelling at thesmallest credible geographic unit (Local Government Area). NIEIR modelling draws on many data sources to offer themost nuanced data possible at the local level. The NIEIR dataset is the result of a process of economic microsimulation modelling – it is an amalgam of many different existing data sources (between 6 and 10 depending on theregion and time period) which are synthesised to produce a series of estimates of the size and value of the localeconomy.
Importantly, the NIEIR model is updated on an annual basis (with quarterly breakdown for some characteristics). Thismeans the impact of global, national and local economic changes can be clearly seen at the local level.
For over 15 years NIEIR have been producing the annual benchmark State of the Regions Report commissioned bythe Australian Local Government Association (ALGA). These reports benchmark regional economies and identifiesstrategies that strengthen local and regional economic and employment outcomes, laying the framework for futurepolicy direction and emphasizing the role and importance of local government.
