The core objectives of the SOR are to: • Present the latest statistical indicators of how Australian regions are performing • Analyse the indicator trends in terms of growing equality and inequality between Australian regions • Make suggestions for the policy implications of current Australian regional performance • Steadily expand the indicators used to measure regional performance • Describe the reality of regional economics • Assist local government to understand their regions and to provide useful planning tools The State of the Regions report provides an annual stock-take of the economic well being of Australia's regions and their prospects for economic development and employment growth.
