The Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) 2011 Structure and Summary

ABS StructuresThese structures are defined by the ABS and remain stable between Censuses.

RA defines relativeaccess to services

SOS/UCL Structuredefines the built uparea of Australia’scities and towns

The Indigenous Structure is designed for the presentation

of statistics on the Indigenous population

The Main (SA) Structureis based on the functionalarea of major cities and

towns and gazettedsuburbs and localities

The GCCSA definesthe wider economicarea of each of the state and territory

capitals.

SUAs represent townsand cities with a

population over 10,000and contains their likelygrowth over the next 15

years

Data Availability for ABS RegionsDisaggregated Census data is available for all ABS Regions SA1 and above.Note: data on Indigenous Communities is available at the ILOC level.Additional data is available for the following:• SA2s: Business Demographics, Building Approvals and Estimated Resident Population• SA4s: Labour Force Survey• GCCSA: CPI and House Price Index.

Data Availability for Mesh BlocksMesh Blocks are intended as building blocks so only limited data is available:Census population and dwelling counts

Data Availability for Non-ABS RegionsDisaggregated Census data is available for all non-ABS Regions. Additional data isavailable for the following:• Tourism regions: Tourism data• Postal Area: Vehicle registration• LGAs: Finance. Agriculture, Building Approvals and Estimated Residential Population.

Why partnerships?

•  Governments can’t do it alone •  What happens in our regions belong to all the

stakeholders •  Resources are limited and hence we need to

prioritise •  Have our say in a common future •  Good governance •  Transparency, accountability, feedback and

monitoring

Our grandchildren’s economy is emerging with wealth created by networks...


•  Hierarchies •  Command and control •  Vertical integration •  Transactions •  Boundary protection •  Strategic planning

•  Networks •  Link and leverage •  Horizontal integration •  Relationships •  Strengthen cores •  Strategic Doing

Guiding conversations in a network involves both open participation and leadership direction.


What is Strategic Doing?

•  Used to develop and implement strategy •  Based on collaboration and open networks | leverages on the value

of the network •  Asset based (using what you have) •  Leads to shared, measurable outcomes and a road map to follow •  Can shift along the way to achieve goals

Strategic Doing TM enables people to form action-oriented collaborations quickly, move them toward measurable outcomes, and make adjustments along the way.


Beginnings of Strategic Doing

1994 Oklahoma City first used the ‘learning by doing’ process to transform the city through collaboration and continual adjustment.

1997 The Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development funded the process specific to multiple distress counties. 18 of the 22 counties who adopted the process boast of successful measurable progress.

2001 The Charleston Digital Corridor (Illinois) used the process in what is now hotbed of internet start-up companies.

2005 A federal grant of $15m was deployed for workforce innovation through Purdue University to 14 counties. 80% of the 60 different collaborative initiatives continue today beyond initial founding.

2015 Strategic Doing Institute established as a not-for-profit organisation at Purdue Centre for Regional Development

To agile collaboration…

Why it works?

(1) builds on the groups’ social capital

(2) develops trust among participants

(3) provides a template to achieve action in ‘small’ measurable steps.

Simple, not easy questionsAs the teams answer these questions, they

generate all the components of a

Strategic Doing quickly generates “link and leverage” strategies



How Strategic Doing works?

A core of interested individuals (core group) who understand and are willing to apply the Strategic Doing process. In 3 hours, a strategic action plan can be created. Or, to learn more about the process to apply as a general approach, a 3-day workshop is ideal.

Strategic Doing is an agile, iterative process that relies on accumulating learning by doing
