Community Compass Reports
Community compass reports highlight our District's most recent economic positioning.
In Q1, we saw an increase in out of region consumer spend, a decrease in gambling spend per capita, and a decrease in job seeker support rates.
The Q2 report is hot off the press. A total of $22.1m was spent by domestic and international tourists in Gore during the quarter, with a notable increase in international tourism.
Q3 saw an encouraging decline in job seeker support by 4.3% compared to this time last year. The Gore District saw an increase in the years it takes to save for a house deposit, to 6 years. This is still well below the national average of about 9.6 years according to recent modelling.
