  • Long-Term Population Growth in Regional Queensland
    LONG-TERM POPULATION GROWTH IN REGIONAL QUEENSLAND March 2015 LONG-TERM POPULATION GROWTH IN REGIONAL QUEENSLAND 1.0 INTRODUCTION Over a period of time, major changes have been taking place in the distribution of population in regional Queensland outside of the south-east corner of the State. This paper sets out: o This changing pattern and the leading role of Cairns and the Cairns region in this changing pattern; o Why this consistent pattern of change has been happening over a period of time; and o On a continuation of these long-term trends, what regional population in Queensland would look like by 2050. This paper has been prepared by Cummings Economics for the Cairns Regional Council. W S Cummings B Econ 38 Grafton St (PO Box 2148) Cairns Q 4870 Phones 07 4031 2888 / 0418 871 011 Email [email protected] Website www.cummings.net.au CUMMINGS ECONOMICS ABN: 99 734 489 175 Ref: J2806 March 2015 Page /33 2 LONG-TERM POPULATION GROWTH IN REGIONAL QUEENSLAND 2.0 THE QUEENSLAND REGIONS Queensland outside of the south-east corner of the State covers a large area. Realities of distances lead to the area being served by a series of regional capitals with distinct commercial servicing regions. Map 1 shows these regional capitals and the commercial regions they serve. In the case of Cairns, Townsville, Mackay and Toowoomba, the regional capitals and their commercial servicing areas are fairly clear. Although Rockhampton is the regional capital of the Fitzroy and Central West region, unlike Cairns, Townsville and Mackay, the region’s port is not located at the city, but 100km away at Gladstone.

The coast is characterised by a diverse range of natural features including sandy beaches, rocky headlands, rainforests, woodlands and grasslands, extensive intertidal flats, and substantial areas of coastal wetlands (Environmental Protection Agency, 2004). Population growth and other development in the Mackay region is placing increased pressures on coastal resources, and limiting the resilience of the system to respond to fluctuations in the natural environment.

  • Chapter 2: the Mackay Setting
    CHAPTER 2: THE MACKAY SETTING Ken Granger and Trevor Jones Introduction Mackay, in Central Queensland, is one of the State’s larger regional cities. It lies, roughly mid way between Brisbane and Cairns, being some 800 km in a direct line, or 970 km by road, from Brisbane. The 2890 km2 area administered by Mackay City Council has a resident population of approximately 71 400. The Mackay urban area which is the focus of this study, occupies around 240 km2 and is home to around 59 000 people. The city is predominantly a transport, education and service centre for a large sugar and grain growing district, with a major coal export terminal at Dalrymple Bay/Hay Point. Mackay is also the gateway to the tourist resorts on the southern islands of the Whitsunday Group. For the neighbouring council areas of Mirani (about 5100 people) to the west, Sarina (9400 people) to the south, and Whitsunday (18 300 people) to the north, Mackay is the major centre. These jurisdictional boundaries are shown in Figure 2.1. 11 Figure 2.1: Mackay study area location The Physical Setting Topography: The entire study area is low-lying, with an average elevation of less than 10 m above the Australian Height Datum (AHD), with the low hills of Mount Bassett (approximately 30 m above AHD) and Mount Pleasant (about 60 m above AHD) as the main features of relief. In the original area of urban development, south of the Pioneer River, the average elevation is around 6 m above AHD and ranges from less than 4 m above AHD at the airport to a little over 11 m above AHD at the Mackay Base Hospital.
