Populations are counted and estimated in various ways. The most comprehensive population count available in Australia is derived from the Census of Population and Housing conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics every five years. However the Census count is NOT the official population of Indigo Shire. To provide a more accurate population figure which is updated more frequently than every five years, the Australian Bureau of Statistics also produces "Estimated Resident Population" (ERP) numbers for Indigo Shire. See data notes for a detailed explanation of different population types, how they are calculated and when to use each one.

Indigo Shire is bounded by the Murray River and the New South Wales border in the north, the City of Wodonga and Towong Shire in the east, Alpine Shire in the south, and the Rural City of Wangaratta and Moira Shire in the west. Name origin Indigo Shire is named after Indigo Creek, which was named after the pea-like flowers found on a shrub in the area which resembled the Indigo plant. Important Population Land area Population density Statistics 15,180 204,381 0.07 2011 Usual residents hectares (2,044 persons per hectare Km2) Indigo Shire Legend Districts Indigo Shire Overlay areas Map data ©2013 Google - Terms of Use Report a map error Page 7 of 81 Settlement history European settlement of the Indigo area dates from the late 1830s, with land used mainly for grazing. Rapid growth took place from 1852 into the late 1860s, due to gold discoveries in the area and subsequent gold mining. The townships of Beechworth and Yackandandah were established in the mid 1850s, followed by Chiltern and Rutherglen in the early 1860s. The population declined from the 1870s as gold supplies waned, with mining ceasing in the early 1900s. The population of the Shire was then relatively stable until the 1980s, when some growth occurred. The population increased marginally from the mid 1990s, rising from about 13,600 in 1996 to about 14,300 in 2006. Land use Land use Indigo Shire is a predominantly rural area. The main townships are Beechworth, Rutherglen, Chiltern and Yackandandah. Smaller townships include Barnawartha, Kiewa, Tangambalanga and Wahgunyah. The Shire encompasses a total land area of over 2,000 square kilometres. The main industry is farming, particularly beef, sheep, dairy, fruit and viticulture. Transport The Shire is served by the Hume Freeway, the Murray Valley Highway and the Sydney to Melbourne railway line. Major features Major features of the Shire include Chiltern-Mount Pilot National Park, Beechworth Historic Park, Beechworth Historic and Cultural Precinct, Yackandandah Conservation Area, Murray to Mountains Rail Trail, the Murray River, part of Lake Hume, La Trobe University (Beechworth Campus) and numerous wineries. Included areas Indigo Shire includes the townships and localities of Allans Flat, Barnawartha, Beechworth, Brimin, Browns Plains, Bruarong, Carlyle, Charleroi, Chiltern, Chiltern Valley, Cornishtown, Eldorado (part), Gooramadda, Gundowring, Huon, Indigo Valley, Kergunyah, Kiewa, Lilliput, Mudgegonga (part), Norong, Osbornes Flat, Rutherglen, Sandy Creek, Staghorn Flat, Stanley, Tangambalanga, Wahgunyah, Wooragee and Yackandandah. Page 8 of 81 Five year age groups The Age Structure of Indigo Shire provides key insights into the level of demand for age based services and facilities such as child care. It is also an indicator of Indigo Shire's residential role and function and how it is likely to change in the future. Five year age groups present a classic age profile of the population. Each age group covers exactly five years, which enables direct comparison between each group. To get a more complete picture Indigo Shire's Age Structure should be viewed in conjunction with Household Types and Dwelling Types.

By way of background, Wangaratta Unlimited is the economic development arm of the Rural City of Wangaratta. In November last year it decided to take a proactive response to the global economic downturn and commenced developing a response strategy. This strategy was finalised in February 2009 and submitted to Council for adoption. The strategy is based on the premise that "now is not the time to be timid". It acknowledges that while the Wangaratta regional economy will not be immune from the affects of the economic downturn, there are measures that can be undertaken to buffer these affects and indeed provide offsets to employment and economic activity in other directions. It is nominated four key directions for doing so: • Direct economic stimulation • Innovation and entrepreneurship • Leadership • Business support I look forward to your consideration of the Wangaratta Unlimited Global Economic Downturn Response Strategy and would be prepared to provide further information should you wish in this regard.
