The Boating Industries Alliance Australia has launched its fourth annual State of Industry Survey, to gather and
collate data on the health of the Australian boating industry. With just over one week to go until closing of the
survey, a call is being made to all BIA members across Australia to take a few minutes to complete the survey, by
visiting: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BIAA2014
BIAA General Manager, Nik Parker said “all successful business operators know access to accurate and up to date
data is essential for effective business planning. Similarly, the BIAA needs data to enhance the profile of the
industry with governments, attract investment in our industry and promote the benefits of the boating lifestyle to
all Australians”.
As one of a suite of data collection projects underway, the State of Industry Survey 2014 will provide the BIAA and
industry members with an up to date assessment of the performance of the boating industry, drawing on matching
data collected over the last three years. Commenting on the expected publication of the survey findings in early
2015, Parker said “with quality industry and consumer data we will be well placed to promote and protect the
sector in an increasingly competitive and regulated market place. I’d encourage all members to take part, today”.
The Boating Industries Alliance Australia is the national trade association the recreational and light commercial
boating industry in Australia. BIAA provides a national voice for the alliance of state Boating Industry Associations,
including Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Northern Territory and Marine
