4.3.7.2 Expenditure<br />

<strong>The</strong> market research process did not endeavour to understand <strong>the</strong> expenditure <strong>of</strong> <strong>Victoria</strong>n<br />

media attending <strong>the</strong> Grand Prix. In order to estimate <strong>the</strong> retained expenditure <strong>of</strong> <strong>Victoria</strong>n<br />

media, Ernst & Young has assumed that <strong>the</strong> expenditure <strong>of</strong> <strong>Victoria</strong>n media at an<br />

“Australian” Grand Prix staged interstate or ano<strong>the</strong>r country reflects <strong>the</strong> spending and<br />

nights stay behaviour <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir interstate and overseas counterparts at <strong>the</strong> <strong>2011</strong> event.<br />

4.4 CAMS <strong>of</strong>ficials and o<strong>the</strong>r accredited persons<br />

4.4.1 Overview<br />

Originally it was envisaged that race <strong>of</strong>ficials and accredited persons such as management,<br />

suppliers, contractors and motorsport participants at <strong>the</strong> <strong>2011</strong> Grand Prix would be<br />

interviewed as part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> process undertaken by Newspoll to interview spectators and<br />

media. <strong>The</strong> process employed, involving interviewing in proximity to accreditation pick-up<br />

points on <strong>the</strong> day preceding <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> event (<strong>the</strong> Wednesday) and <strong>the</strong> first day <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> event (Thursday), realised 45 responses from various attendee categories 11 , including<br />

23 from interstate and 22 overseas.<br />

To increase <strong>the</strong> response rate <strong>of</strong> such accredited attendees, Ernst & Young designed an<br />

internet based survey in order to, in <strong>the</strong> first instance, gain responses from CAMS <strong>of</strong>ficials.<br />

With CAMS sending <strong>the</strong> survey to its database <strong>of</strong> relevant <strong>of</strong>ficials (and Ernst & Young<br />

collating <strong>the</strong> data), Ernst & Young received <strong>the</strong> following response:<br />

►<br />

►<br />

►<br />

234 <strong>of</strong>ficials from <strong>Victoria</strong>;<br />

101 <strong>of</strong>ficials from interstate; and<br />

14 <strong>of</strong>ficials from overseas.<br />

Given <strong>the</strong> limitations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> process (and o<strong>the</strong>rs) (refer to section 3.1.5), <strong>the</strong> length <strong>of</strong> stay<br />

and expenditure data from <strong>the</strong>se responses was applied over a variety <strong>of</strong> accredited persons<br />

(including motorsport participants in support events – refer to section 4.5).<br />

4.4.2 Origin <strong>of</strong> CAMS <strong>of</strong>ficials and o<strong>the</strong>r accredited persons<br />

4.4.2.1 CAMS Officials<br />

Based on information provided by AGPC from <strong>the</strong>ir accreditation systems for accredited<br />

persons (o<strong>the</strong>r than motorsport participants in support events – refer to section 4.5), and<br />

by CAMS for <strong>of</strong>ficials, <strong>the</strong> origin <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se types <strong>of</strong> attendees at <strong>the</strong> <strong>2011</strong> Grand Prix is<br />

presented in Figure 9 and Figure 10:<br />
