  • Submission on the Productive Economy Policy Discussion Paper
    From: Roger Drake Sent: Tuesday, 19 February 2019 4:35 PM To: DPTI:Planning Engagement Subject: Shopping Centre Zoning Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged To Whom it May Concern Drakes Supermarkets is a privately owned supermarket group, employing some 6000 staff and operating 37 supermarkets in South Australia; and we have been investing in the States independent supermarket retail market since 1974 with not only supermarkets, but also newsagencies and licensed post offices. As the owner of the business, I believe in the “centre hierarchy approach” (ie there should be a regional centre, a district centre and a local or neighbourhood centre.) Retailers like us have invested large amounts of money knowing there is some protection. I am gravely concerned when we see larger corporations (ie Coles, Woolworths, Aldi & especially Kaufland) investing outside the existing zoning requirements. If people are to invest in retail shopping zones, I believe they need some security knowing their investment has the ability to serve the community but also able to sustain competition. It is easy for the large players to invest outside the current zones knowing full well that the land they acquire is cheaper but all this does is splits the existing zoning. A perfect example of what I call “bad planning” is the Port Canal Development; whereby clearly there was a zone at the centre of Port Adelaide, and then another zone was created; namely the Port Canal, and now we have what I believe is two substandard shopping centre developments. This is just one example, and there are plenty more examples, especially when we examine country towns.

  • Part 6 — Implementation
    PART 6 — IMPLEMENTATION 29 IMPLEMENTING THE REVIEW The Panel’s recommended agenda of competition reform is ambitious, encompassing Australia’s competition policy, laws and institutions. As noted in Part 1, a need for a new round of microeconomic reform persists, much like the extended reform horizon associated with the earlier National Competition Policy (NCP) reforms. It is vital for not only our standard of living but also our quality of life. However, to succeed, as the Business Council of Australia (BCA) notes, a clear plan for implementing the reform agenda is required: The panel has put forward a very large reform program. Implementation of each reform will be complex and take time so prioritisation will be important. A clear plan on how to implement the agenda will be required for the community to accept it. (DR sub, page 5) During consultation, many people pointed to the successful implementation of the NCP reforms as an example to emulate. This chapter begins by considering important features of the NCP, especially the time interval between completion of the Hilmer Review and governments agreeing to the NCP reform agenda. A distinguishing feature of the current environment is that the roles and responsibilities of the Australian Government and state and territory governments are currently being reconsidered through the White Paper on the Reform of the Federation and the White Paper on Reform of Australia’s Tax System (the White Papers). Although a number of the Panel’s recommendations can be implemented by jurisdictions acting independently, in many cases reform outcomes will be enhanced through co-operation or collaboration across jurisdictions.

    Foreign Agricultural Service GAIN Report Global Agriculture Information Network Voluntary Report - public distribution Date: 12/10/2002 GAIN Report #AS2042 Australia Product Brief Confectionery Products 2002 Approved by: Andrew C. Burst U.S. Embassy Prepared by: Australian Centre for Retail Studies Report Highlights: Within the global confectionery market, Australia is ranked 11th for sugar confectionery consumption and 9th for chocolate. Nine out of ten people regularly consume confectionery from both the chocolate and sugar confectionery categories. Approximately 55 percent of confectionery sales are through supermarkets, with the remaining 45 percent sold through outlets such as milk-bars, convenience stores and specialty shops. New products are introduced fairly regularly to the Australian confectionery market; however highly innovative products are less common and this may be an area that offers opportunities for U.S. exporters to be successful in this market. In 2001, Australia was the 15th largest export market for U.S. confectionery products.

The magnitude of the differences is, in most cases, small and the provision of the data, even though slightly different, is to provide the U.S. exporter with the best possible picture of the Australian Confectionery Sector where omission may have provided less than that.

The inaugural meeting of the National GS1 Traceability Advisory Group (NGTAG) saw members from across all sectors and supply chains including retail, liquor, agriculture and construction, converge to co-define a roadmap for implementing enhanced traceability and trade modernisation in Australia. Opening remarks were heard from GS1 Australia’s chief executive officer, Maria Palazzolo, setting the scene for the prestigious group. Woolworths’ Ram Akella, co-chair of the advisory group, in his introduction referred to the event as ‘a moment etched in history for traceability in Australia’. Akella continued to sum up the group’s purpose as ‘discussing what’s important from a customer point of view, what’s important from a regulation and government point of view and how changes can be made cost effectively at the same time’. Over the next 12 months the group will lead the future of transformation and innovation for Australian traceability, communicating, educating and co- defining a strategic master plan for implementing end-to-end supply chain visibility for Australian trade. Opening remarks and the introduction of the National GS1 Traceability Advisory Group inaugural meeting can be heard on the GS1 Australia website.

  • The Australian Grocery Sector: Structurally Irredeemable?
    THE AUSTRALIAN GROCERY SECTOR: structurally irredeemable? Alexandra Merrett and Rhonda L Smith1 By all appearances, the grocery sector in Australia is less than ideally competitive and indeed less competitive than most other advanced economies. It may be that the size of the Australian economy imposes a natural limit on the market structure whereby the available economies of scale and scope mean that there is only room for two large players. The evidence suggests that, while Coles and Woolworths may have substantial market power, they do not take advantage of such market power by systematic monopoly pricing. Rather, any uses of market power are episodic and appear largely related to non-price conduct. Indeed, it seems the biggest impact for Australian consumers of our present market structure is reduced choice and innovation as sources of supply are rationalised. Australians may therefore need to consider the extent to which they prefer increased choice over lower prices and the convenience of one-stop shops. In considering these issues, this paper attempts to assess anecdotal claims – particularly in relation to ‘must have’ brands and private labels – by reference to available data. In doing so, we highlight several potential uses of publicly available information which may go some way to proving or disproving market power problems in the Australian grocery sector. 1 Alexandra Merrett is a competition lawyer and Senior Fellow at the Melbourne Law School, and may be contacted on [email protected]. Rhonda Smith is an economist and Senior Lecturer at the University of Melbourne. She may be contacted on [email protected].

  • Kaufland Australia Proposed Store Oakleigh South, Melbourne Economic Impact Assessment
    Kaufland Australia Proposed store Oakleigh South, Melbourne Economic Impact Assessment December 2018 Prepared by: Anthony Dimasi, Managing Director – Dimasi & Co [email protected] Prepared for Kaufland Australia Table of contents Executive summary 1 Introduction 5 Section 1: The supermarket sector – Australia and Victoria 6 Section 2: Kaufland Australia – store format and offer 13 Section 3: Economic Impact Assessment 20 3.1 Site location and context 21 3.2 Trade area analysis 23 3.3 Competition analysis 27 3.4 Estimated sales potential 28 3.5 Economic impacts 30 3.6 Net community benefit assessment 43 Executive summary The Supermarkets & Grocery Stores category is by far the most important retail category in Australia. Total sales recorded by Supermarkets & Grocery Stores as measured by the Australian Bureau of Statistics have increased from $64.5 billion at 2007 to $103.7 billion at 2017, recording average annual growth of 4.9% per annum – despite the impacts of the global financial crisis (GFC). Over this past decade the category has also increased its share of total Australian retail sales from 31.3% to 33.7%. For Victoria, similar trends are evident. Supermarkets and grocery stores’ sales have increased over the past decade at a similar rate to the national average – 4.5% versus 4.9%. The share of total retail sales directed to supermarkets and grocery stores by Victorians has also increased over this period, from 31.6% at 2007 to 32.8% at 2017. Given the importance of the Supermarkets & Grocery Stores category to both the Victorian retail sector and Victorian consumers, the entry of Kaufland into the supermarket sector brings with it enormous potential for significant consumer benefits, as well as broader economic benefits.

  • Overview of Australia and New Zealand Supermarkets
    OVERVIEW OF KEY AUSTRALASIAN SUPERMARKET RETAILERS Briefing Document September 2003 Coriolis Research Ltd. is a strategic market research firm founded in 1997 and based in Auckland, New Zealand. Coriolis primarily works with clients in the food and fast moving consumer goods supply chain, from primary producers to retailers. In addition to working with clients, Coriolis regularly produces reports on current industry topics. Recent reports have included an analysis of Retail Globalization: Who’s Winning” and answering the question: “Will selling groceries over the internet ever work?” The lead researcher on this report was Tim Morris, one of the founding partners of Coriolis Research. Tim graduated from Cornell University in New York with a degree in Agricultural Economics, with a specialisation in Food Industry Management. Tim has worked for a number of international retailers and manufacturers, including Nestlé, Dreyer’s Ice Cream, Kraft/General Foods, Safeway and Woolworths New Zealand. Before helping to found Coriolis Research, Tim was a consultant for Swander Pace and Company in San Francisco, where he worked on management consulting and acquisition projects for clients including Danone, Heinz, Bestfoods and ConAgra. The coriolis force, named for French physicist Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843), may be seen on a large scale in the movement of winds and ocean currents on the rotating earth. It dominates weather patterns, producing the counterclockwise flow observed around low-pressure zones in the Northern Hemisphere and the clockwise flow around such zones in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the result of a centripetal force on a mass moving with a velocity radially outward in a rotating plane.
