How the Barkly pastoral industry has changed 2004-2010 It is difficult to make some comparisons between the 2004 report and this report due to some changes in the methodology of data analysis and changes in sample size and number. This section of the report highlights the key differences, based on knowledge of the samples and methodology. Where comparisons have not been made, it is due to no noteworthy differences or to inability to compare because of changes in analysis methodology between the 2004 and 2010 reports. Differences in sample population In the 2004 report there was a Gulf district in each of the Barkly and Katherine regions, with the eastern Gulf included in the Barkly region and the western Gulf included in the Katherine region. In the 2010 survey, the Gulf district was surveyed as part of the Katherine region only. Table 37 shows the number of businesses surveyed by district for each of the surveys. In 2004, 80% of the pastoral area was surveyed, compared with 51% in 2010. Comparisons between the two surveys can most confidently be made for the Barky district. Table 37. Differences in sample population between 2004 and 2010 pastoral industry surveys No. properties surveyed District 2004 2010 Barkly 13 10 Gulf 6 0 Tennant Creek 5 3 Barkly region 24 13 Property size and infrastructure In the Barkly district, the average number of paddocks had increased from 24 in 2004 to 31 in 2010 and the average paddock size had decreased from 364 km2 in 2004 to 268 km2 in 2010, suggesting that producers had carried out a moderate amount of paddock subdivision over this period. Forty five per cent of producers reported carrying out paddock subdivision in 2009 and 2010, while 38% of producers had intended to undertake it in 2004. Water points were the highest development priority across both surveys and the number of man-made water points nearly doubled from an average of 55 per property in 2004 to 94 in 2010. Correspondingly, preferred grazing radii when planning infrastructure development reduced between the surveys, from 5.6 km in the Barkly district to 3.8 km and from 8.6 km in the Tennant Creek district to 7 km.
