Workplace Atlas Report
The Workplace Atlas Report (PDF 8.3MB) provides an overview of the nature and geographic distribution of employment in Adelaide. It contains useful maps, graphs, statistics and commentary that identify the locations of employment and describe the characteristics of the people employed in those locations.
The data used in the report is sourced from the 2006 Census of Population and Housing published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The study area is the Adelaide Statistical Division, which extends to Gawler in the north, Aldinga in the south and Mount Barker in the east.
Interactive Workplace Atlas
The interactive Workplace Atlas is a web-based program that allows users to explore a variety of themes related to employment in Greater Adelaide. It is based on the 2006 Census data but allows a broader range of data to be presented on the entire Greater Adelaide region. The data can be interactively mapped and graphed at different geographic levels, such as destination zones, statistical local areas, local government areas, state government regions and statistical divisions.
The themes featured in the atlas include:
- employed persons
- gender
- hours worked
- method of travel to work
- worked at home
- age
- occupation
- indigenous persons
- industry of employment
- born overseas
- annual income

Employment and the South Australian Planning Strategy
The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide provides for the creation of up to 282,000 additional jobs in Greater Adelaide. The Plan envisages that these new jobs will be concentrated mainly in transit corridors, new growth areas, transit-oriented developments and activity centres.
The interactive Workplace Atlas and the Workplace Atlas report support the implementation and monitoring of the plan by providing important resources for urban planners, transport engineers, social researchers and economists in both the public and private sectors.
