Index reference period: 2011-12 - 100.0.

The main contributors to quarterly growth in Final demand were:

Output of building construction (+0.9%), due to ongoing skilled labour shortages and the passing through of manufacturing costs from energy intensive materials.
Heavy and civil engineering construction (+0.8%), due to ongoing skilled labour shortages and the passing through of recent price increases for electricity and freight.
Cafes, restaurants and takeaway food services (+1.7%), due to increased input and operational costs.

Offsetting the rise were price falls in:

Accommodation (-10.7%), due to usual seasonal falls following the peak holiday period, and reduced discretionary spending.
Motor vehicle and motor vehicle part manufacturing (-2.8%), due to price cuts in some luxury and high-end vehicles.
Petroleum refining and petroleum fuel manufacturing (-4.2%), due to a fall in global crude oil prices and high global fuel production.

Construction

Input to the house construction industry

Input prices to the house construction industry rose 0.6%

Input prices to house construction increased 0.6% in the June quarter 2023, the lowest quarterly rise since December 2020. The increase was driven by energy intensive materials such as plaster, concrete, and sanitaryware products as suppliers passed through the increased energy and freight costs from recent quarters.

While prices continued to rise, growth has eased for the fourth consecutive quarter as supply chains improved and falling demand for new construction allowed builders to work through the backlog of housing.

Over the past twelve months, Input prices to house construction rose 7.4%.

Output of the construction industry

Output prices of the construction industries

Building construction prices rose 1.0% this quarter and 6.5% over the past twelve months.

Growth in the Output of the construction industries continued to be driven by labour shortages, with demand for tradespeople resulting in upward pressure on output costs. While material prices have stabilised, increased prices for concrete based structural components and internal fittings continued to rise. Demand for materials and labour remained high due to the ongoing activity in the non-residential market, as well as the residential and infrastructure sectors.

The contributors to the quarterly price movements were:

House construction (+1.0%).
Other residential building construction (+0.9%).
Non-residential construction (+0.9%).

Output prices of building construction continued to ease, reflecting stabilising material prices

House construction prices rose 1.0%

House construction prices rose this quarter, driven by increases in Victoria and New South Wales. Interest in the market remained subdued, due to ongoing high interest rates, construction costs, and housing affordability concerns. Labour shortages for finishing trades and the resulting cost escalations drove price rises this quarter. Falls in Western Australia partially offset the rise this quarter, due to builders increasing bonus offers to remain competitive.

The main contributors to input price falls to the manufacturing industries were:

Basic chemical and chemical products (-6.7%), due to a fall in the price of potassium chloride coming off historically high prices.
Agriculture to manufacturing (-2.0%), due to a fall in the price of beef following an increase in cattle slaughter rates as more supply became available.
Primary metal and metal products (-2.9%), due to a fall in global construction activity leading to a fall in demand for iron and steel products.

Offsetting the fall, were price rises in:

Metal ore mining (+2.7%), due to investor demand for gold continuing to rise amid high inflation and broader economic uncertainty attracting more safe-haven investments.
Transport equipment (+11.8%), due to rising input costs of parts.
Forestry and logging (+5.6%), due to a rise in domestic freight costs, and annual price increases for logs.

Services

Output of the services industries

Accommodation and food services prices fell, driven by:

Accommodation services (-11.4%), due to falling demand after the summer peak holiday period, reduced discretionary spending, and domestic travellers substituting overseas and interstate holidays for intrastate holidays.

This was partially offset by:

Cafes, restaurants, and takeaway food services (+1.8%), due to higher input and operating costs.

Over the past twelve months:

Accommodation services prices rose 1.3%.
Cafes, restaurants, and takeaway food services prices rose 5.5%.

Rental, hiring and real estate services prices rose, driven by:

Non-residential property operators (+1.6%), due to further rises in industrial rents as demand for warehouses and distribution centres continued to outpace supply.
Other goods and equipment rental and hiring (+0.5%), due to labour shortages amid strong building and infrastructure project demand, and rising costs for parts and maintenance.

This was partially offset by:

Motor vehicle and transport equipment rental and hiring (-5.7%), driven by a reduction in car hire rates and excess fleet size capacity.
Real estate services (-0.6%), due to lower advertised property levels and increased service competition.

Over the past twelve months:

Non-residential property operators prices rose 8.6%.
Other goods and equipment rental and hiring prices rose 3.5%.
Motor vehicle and transport equipment rental and hiring prices fell -11.0%.
Real estate services prices fell -2.4%.

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.
