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.

  • Sales Reporting Guidelines December 2010
    Shopping Centre Council of Australia Sales Reporting Guidelines December 2010 1. INTRODUCTION In 2004 the Shopping Centre Council of Australia (SCCA) decided to seek uniformity, where possible, among its members in shopping centre sales and occupancy costs reporting. This followed the Council’s decision in 2002 to resolve the issue of whether retail sales in shopping centres should be reported on a GST-inclusive or GST-exclusive basis. The SCCA Council decided, as a preference, that members should report sales on a GST- inclusive basis. In March 2004 the Council established a sub-committee on sales reporting, chaired by Darren Steinberg (CEO Shopping Centres, Stockland), to review the public reporting practices of the shopping centre industry in the area of retail sales, occupancy costs and associated statistics. The objective of the sub-committee was to establish standard industry practices, to be endorsed by the SCCA, which would be adopted by members in order to achieve greater uniformity of reporting for the shopping centre industry. A number of SCCA members participated in this sub-committee. These were AMP Capital Investors, Centro Properties Group, Colonial First State Property, the GPT Group, Jones Lang LaSalle, Lend Lease Retail, Mirvac, QIC, Savills, Stockland and the Westfield Group. Consulting firms UrbisJHD and MapInfo Dimasi also participated in deliberations of the sub-committee because of their involvement in the preparation and use of industry averages and benchmarks. The subcommittee’s recommendations were approved by the SCCA Council in May 2005. The Council decided the changes would take effect from 1 July 2005 and relate to reporting for the financial year 2005-06.
