[edit] ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IN AUSTRALIA: TURNOVER AND ECONOMIC MEASUREMENT

Expenditure on Entertainment in Australia is not immediately quantifiable as an industry sector, but the Australian Bureau of Statistics has collated some data to show revenues. The latest of these, 8566.0 - Business Events Venues Industry, Australia, 2000-01, is headed "Large business events generate A$655 million in income". [1]

Aside from Large Business Events, which are characterised as events for more than 500 people, Live Performance Australia has a survey called "The Ticket Attendance and Revenue Survey: Live Performance Industry in Australia" which recorded revenues of A$834.3 million from box office receipts in 2005. [2]

The sale and provision of equipment for entertainment technology is measured in part by import statistics prepared by the Australian Music Association [3]show equipment sales of A$625 at retail for 2005/2006.

Economic activity that is not known to be measured includes business events for under 500 people; smaller entertainment events that are not captured by Live Performance Australia's review; film, radio and television; and community events.

The Entertainment Industry in Australia has had an increasing role in the expansion of evangelical churches such as the Assemblies of God [4]- a movement with a growing requirement for large screen multimedia replay systems in churches such as 'Hillsong' in Sydney.

Other economic activity within the broader 'Entertainment' category includes installations in public spaces of video, lighting and audio systems. These spaces include airport terminals, museums, and shopping venues.
