A2.6 Estimated number of facilities operating across a particular species group

In order to estimate the number of facilities involved with a particular species group for estimating incremental costs in Appendix 3, the following percentages of facilities representing each species group are given by jurisdiction in Table A2.19. The distribution across an individual taxon represents 115¹¹⁴ or roughly 54.5% of 211 facilities¹¹⁵.

Taking the product of columns (d) and (e) for medium and small facilities in Table A2.2 and columns (k1) to(n1) showing the distribution of species group exhibits by state or territory in Table A2.18 – the following estimated distribution of facilities by state or territory, size and taxon is shown in Table A2.20. Large facilities (i.e. 50 persons or greater), which are given as one per state or territory, are simply taken to operate across all taxon listed.
