MetadataType Esri Feature Service Update Frequency As required Contact Details Contact us via the Spatial Services Customer Hub Relationship to Themes and Datasets Features of Interest Category of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) Accuracy The dataset maintains a positional relationship to, and alignment with, a range of themes from the NSW FSDF including, transport, imagery, positioning, water and land cover. This dataset was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping at a variety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to 1:250 000 according to the National Mapping Council of Australia, Standards of Map Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature instance will be within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That is, 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:100000 = 50m. A program of positional upgrade (accuracy improvement) is currently underway.

Public transport usage dropped by almost 50% over the three years through 2021-22 as pandemic lockdowns and restrictions, and increased uptake of work-from-home arrangements reduced demand. Patronage recovered strongly in 2022-23 as restrictions ended, but are expected to remain approximately 25% below pre-pandemic levels in 2024-25. Rising fares have partly offset these service declines, with fares rising by an average of 3.3% per year over the past five years, compared to approximately 2.1% in the decade prior to the pandemic. Overall, revenue is expected to have fallen at an annualised 1.8% over the five years through 2024-25, to $9.7 billion. This includes a slip of 0.5% anticipated in 2024-25. Governments play a significant role in funding the industry's infrastructure and managing operating contracts, which is evident in the prevalence of public-private partnerships (PPPs). Government investment in network expansions has benefited transport providers as large operators have secured tenders for new operating contracts. The State Transit Authority of NSW progressively transferred its bus operations to private operators until it handed over full control in April 2022. However, trends away from privatisation in the coming years could cut into the industry's profitability. The SA Government has reached an agreement with Keolis Downer to take back control over some of the state's bus networks by mid-2025, which has dampened revenue opportunities for private companies in the Adelaide metropolitan market. The industry is forecast to face very slow growth in patronage numbers, with the number of travellers projected to remain below pre-pandemic levels over the next five years. While there are ongoing efforts to rein work-from-home arrangements back in, long-term trends indicate a rising share of the labour force will be working from home at least a couple of days a week over the next five years, limiting public transport patronage. Amid weak growth in public transport users, state and territory governments will likely have to either increase fares or subsidies to private bus and tram operators to ensure the industry remains profitable and sustainable, but they will face budget and political pressures amid a cost-of-living crisis, limiting the tools available to them. Overall, revenue is forecast to climb at an annualised 1.1% over the five years through 2029-30, to $10.2 billion.

The rent price index in Australia in the first quarter of 2025 was *****, marking an increase from the same quarter of the previous year. Rent prices had decreased in 2020; in Melbourne and Sydney, this was mainly attributed to the absence of international students during the coronavirus outbreak. The current state of the rental market in Australia The rental market in Australia has been marked by varying conditions across different regions. Among the capital cities, Sydney has long been recognized for having some of the highest average rents. As of March 2025, the average weekly rent for a house in Sydney was *** Australian dollars, which was the highest average rent across all major cities in Australia that year. Furthermore, due to factors like population growth and housing demand, regional areas have also seen noticeable increases in rental prices. For instance, households in the non-metropolitan area of New South Wales’ expenditure on rent was around ** percent of their household income in the year ending June 2024. Housing affordability in Australia Housing affordability remains a significant challenge in Australia, contributing to a trend where many individuals and families rent for prolonged periods. The underlying cause of this issue is the ongoing disparity between household wages and housing costs, especially in large cities. While renting offers several advantages, it is worth noting that the associated costs may not always align with the expectation of affordability. Approximately one-third of participants in a recent survey stated that they pay between ** and ** percent of their monthly income on rent. Recent government initiatives, such as the 2024 Help to Buy scheme, aim to make it easier for people across Australia to get onto the property ladder. Still, the multifaceted nature of Australia’s housing affordability problem requires continued efforts to strike a balance between market dynamics and the need for accessible housing options for Australians.
