Hi ABS analysis gurus
There is a problem in VCAT Planning cases, where partisan developer Experts quote ABS car ownership rates for ‘Flat Unit or Apartment in a 4 or more storey block’ that severly understate the true figure. They do this by including undisclosed, a significant number of Office of Housing (OOH) towers. E.g. for Melbourne-Prahran, best I can make of (shaky) Cdata analysis is that 1 bedroom rate jumps from 0.4 to 0.8 when OOH is excluded. But my analysis is generally frustrated by randomization – numbers for Melbourne-Windsor turn negative when OOH is removed!
Big ask I know, but there is a vital need to publish proper tables from reliable, expensive ABS Tablebuilder type stats for all State Sburb names (within LGA bounds) for the real parking rates in such blocks, inclusive and exclusive of the Llandlord type of ‘State Housing Authority’.
VCAT is digging us into a hole here!
thanks
Martin
