Summary
The gross economic contribution measures the footprint of recreational hunting by game licence holders in the regional and Victorian economies in terms of Gross State Product (GSP), Gross Regional Product (GRP) and employment.

This represents 0.1 per cent of Victoria’s GSP.
There were an estimated 1,626 full time equivalent (FTE) jobs generated directly by recreational hunting related expenditure with a further 1,513 FTE jobs generated by flow-on activity. The total employment contribution was 3,138 FTE jobs, 0.1 per cent of Victoria’s employment in 2019.
