Land use Wyong Shire is a growing residential area, with some commercial and industrial land use. Wyong Shire includes the major service centre of WyongTuggerah and numerous townships spread around Tuggerah Lake, Budgewoi Lake, Lake Munmorah and the southern shore of Lake Macquarie. The Shire encompasses a total land area of over 820 square kilometres, including substantial areas of national parks, state forests, coastline and lakes. The western half of the Shire is predominantly rural. Rural land is used mainly for farming, timbergetting and coal mining for electricity generation. Wyong Shire's administrative centre is located in the town of Wyong.
Transport Wyong Shire is served by the SydneyNewcastle Freeway, the Pacific Highway and the SydneyNewcastle railway line.
Settlement history European settlement dates from 1825 when the first land grant was made. Land was used mainly for farming and timber getting. Growth was minimal until the 1870s and 1880s, spurred by the opening of the railway line in 1889 and the expansion of tourism. Significant development occurred during the postwar years, aided by the improved access brought about by the construction of the SydneyNewcastle Freeway in the 1960s, and the expansion of metropolitan Sydney. The population of the Shire grew from about 10,000 in 1947 to nearly 19,000 in 1961, and then to nearly 33,000 in 1971. Rapid growth took place during the 1970s and 1980s, with the population growing from 47,000 in 1976 to 82,000 in 1986. Substantial growth continued during the 1990s, with growth continuing at a slower rate between 2001 and 2011. The enumerated population increased from about 100,000 in 1991 to nearly 148,000 in 2011. (Usual Residence population in 2011 was 149,745).

Indigenous background The original inhabitants of the Wyong area were the Guringai and Darkinjung Aboriginal people.
Regional labour force Wyong Shire labour force region is defined by an area in which a significant percentage of workers travelled into Wyong Shire to work at the 2011 Census. Details of this calculation and a list of areas included can be found in the data notes.

Value add Value added by industry is an indicator of business productivity in Wyong Shire. It shows how productive each industry sector is at increasing the value of its inputs. It is a more refined measure of the productivity of an industry sector than output (total gross revenue), as some industries have high levels of output but require large 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. To understand the value of a worker in each industry, view this dataset in conjunction with Worker Productivity data, and to 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. Did you know? By clicking/tapping on a data row in the table you will be able to see sub categories.

Worker productivity Worker productivity by industry is calculated by dividing the industry value add by the number of persons employed in that industry. It shows which industries generate the most value add per employee. Some industry sectors, such as retail 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 the relative size of employment in each industry, and with Worker Profiles Income to see how much workers actually each in 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. Did you know? By clicking/tapping on a data row in the table you will be able to see sub categories.

Businesses Registered business by industry shows how many businesses there are in Wyong Shire within each industry sector using the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Business Register which itself is derived from the GST register held by the Australian Tax Office (ATO). Businesses are included if they are registered with the ATO, with an ABN used within the previous two financial years. Businesses are split up between employing and nonemploying businesses. Non employing businesses may include sole traders and registered ABNs which are part of larger enterprises. 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 a sector with a lower valueadded could have a lot of small and micro businesses. The number of businesses in Wyong Shire should be viewed in conjunction with Employment (Total) and Value Added datasets to see the relative size of industries, and with Employment Locations data to see where 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. Business register counts are an approximation to LGA boundaries based on SA2 level data provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. As such, they may not exactly match figures sourced directly from the ATO, due to boundary issues and the application of ABS randomisation to the dataset. Notably, public sector institutions are not recorded which has a significant impact on the numbers for Health Care, Education and Public Administration and Safety.

Industry sector analysis All industries Industry sector profiles reveal the way in which each industry contributes to the economy in Wyong Shire using ten economic measures generated by NIEIR economic modelling. This helps in understanding the role each industry sector plays in the economy. For example, some industry sectors generate substantial output (turnover), but are not big employers and targeting those 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 and international exports. This information can reveal how an industry is structured, and whether it is focused on exporting or on serving the local population. The table and second chart also show how Wyong Shire contributes to the wider economy. For example, Wyong Shire contributes 1.4% of New South Wales’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 Wyong Shire. To see how concentrated each industry sector is, visit the Employment Locations section.

Workers place of residence by industry All industries Journey to Work (workers) data shows where Wyong Shire's workforce comes from and how far they 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 is also 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 of employment opportunities (higher paid, high value employment may draw people from a wider area); the skill level required (jobs requiring tertiary qualifications will draw more workers from areas with high qualification levels among the residents) the number of jobs available in the industry sector (sectors with more opportunities may have a wider catchment); transport options available and commuting times to Wyong Shire. Workers place of residence data should be viewed alongside SelfSufficiency and Employment Capacity datasets for a summary of local employment opportunity by industry, as well as modelled Employment (Total) numbers and Employment Locations to understand the relative size of each industry sector and its distribution across the Wyong Shire. To analyse the characteristics of the workforce in each industry, go to the Workers profile section.

Residents place of work by industry All industries Journey to Work (residents) data shows where Wyong Shire's residents go to work and whether they need to travel significant distances to work. This impacts upon planning and advocacy for roads and public transport provision, as well as economic development strategies to develop local employment which fits the skills and qualifications of the residents. The distance travelled by residents in different industry sectors may be influenced by; the nature of employment opportunities 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 local area; and the geographic size of the local area (in large areas, local jobs may not in fact be so local, while in more compact 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 information displayed on the map or the detailed table due to insufficient residents travelling to any one area to display. The summary table will still include the information for the total residents working locally or travelling outside the area to work. Residents place of work data should be viewed alongside SelfContainment and Employment Capacity datasets, as well as modelled Employed residents estimates, which are updated annually. The Resident Labour Force section will provide the characteristics of the locally available labour force.

Employment capacity A goal of economic development is often to maximise the employment opportunities locally, leading to a more socially and environmentally sustainable community. Employment capacity is a simple way of looking at whether Wyong Shire could theoretically provide jobs 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 residents employed (anywhere) in that industry. A figure over 1.0 means there are more jobs available than residents employed in 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 who choose 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 and Worker Productivity data which shows the economic contribution of residents and workers. Did you know? By clicking/tapping on a data row in the table you will be able to see sub categories.

Workforce Age structure All industries The Age Structure of an industry's workforce is a key component to understanding the role and function of that industry in Wyong Shire. It is an indicator of the age of the industry and how long it has been established in the area, as well as the possible challenges in expanding that industry in the future. For example a young workforce may be more mobile and likely to change jobs/industries in the future while an industry with an older workforce may face succession planning issues and challenges in attracting new staff. For a more complete workforce analysis for Wyong Shire, Age Structure should be viewed in conjunction with Income and Hours Worked.

Workforce Individual income quartiles All industries 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 of people 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 state are split into four equal groups, each containing 25% of the workers in that industry, and the quartiles allow users to compare changes in that industry in the local area to changes statewide, or against another benchmark. For more information 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 be related to the level of parttime employment, Occupations, Qualifications and the Age Structure of the workforce, so the data should be looked at in conjunction with these topics.

Results for the Wyong Shire 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 a realistic measure of GRP, number of jobs and other economic indicators at the local area level is to undertake economic modelling. The most significant challenge with local area economic modelling is to ensure that the process reflects the unique economic characteristics of the local area. For example, one of the traps is to apply national and statelevel productivity propensities at the local level, which we now know are simply not accurate because it assumes that 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 the smallest credible geographic unit (Local Government Area). NIEIR modelling draws on many data sources to offer the most nuanced data possible at the local level. The NIEIR dataset is the result of a process of economic micro simulation modelling – it is an amalgam of many different existing data sources (between 6 and 10 depending on the region and time period) which are synthesised to produce a series of estimates of the size and value of the local economy. Importantly, the NIEIR model is updated on an annual basis (with quarterly breakdown for some characteristics). This means 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 by the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA). These reports benchmark regional economies and identifies strategies that strengthen local and regional economic and employment outcomes, laying the framework for future policy direction and emphasizing the role and importance of local government.
