Economic Contribution Sheets
CME’s Economic Contribution Factsheets combine data from publicly available sources with survey data from our members to provide a snapshot of the WA resources sector’s contribution to Western Australia, its regions and our nation.
CME surveys its members annually to quantify the level of expenditure by the WA resources sector on wages and salaries, business purchases, community contributions, and payments to the governments at local, state and federal levels. We seek this data at the postcode level, where employees live and businesses trade. This allows us to explore the sector’s contribution at local and regional levels, as displayed in the factsheets below. Click on the below links to download a copy of these factsheets.
Depending on the details and volume of responses received, we supplement this survey data with information from members’ annual reporting suites, tax transparency and modern slavery statements. This builds a more complete picture of the sector’s economic contributions.
Once we have the survey data on direct expenditure by the WA resources sector, we estimate the sector’s indirect contributions to the local, state and national economies through supply chain effects. For technical details on how our consultant modelled the indirect supply chain spending effects from direct expenditure, please see the methodology statement and the research paper published in the Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy.
