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 Rockhampton Region. 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 Rockhampton Region. See data notes for a detailed explanation of different population types, how they are calculated and when to use each one.

  • April 2020 Newsletter
    NEWSLETTER ("Covid-19" Special) April 2020 Official Newsletter of the Austin Seven Register of Qld. Inc. (formed 1967) "It may be a while before we are on the Road again, Mate!!" (Ken Bell's 1934 Saloon is waved off by Brett Reif from Doug and Robyn's) President’s Report APRIL 2020 Hi Fellow Members A word from our President: All members, Members will not need to be told that Covid-19 has turned all our worlds upside down. Our home and work lives have experienced a seismic shift the size and speed of which is unparalleled in recent history. As you’d be aware we have new legislative and moral conditions around what we can and cannot do in order to protect our society from the worst that Covid-19 can wreak. In light of this, the Committee has resolved that all club activities will cease for April, May and June. The meetings and monthly runs have been cancelled while the Rocky and Country Runs have been postponed till 2021. I’m sure this will be disappointing news to all members but there is no viable alternative. So what can we do to fill the gap left by our regular meetings and runs? I’d hope that we can keep the A7RQ torch burning by regularly checking in on each other and where possible posting on Facebook or Instagram anything that we think other members would be interested in. I’m sure lots of our members have projects, both Austin and non-Austin that the rest of us would be interested in while we do our self-isolation time.

  • Margaret Keech
    Speech by MARGARET KEECH MEMBER FOR ALBERT Hansard 5 April 2001 FIRST SPEECH Ms KEECH (Albert—ALP) (2.30 p.m.): I am honoured to speak in this House for the first time as the member for Albert, the first woman ever to do so. In standing here today, I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which this House of the Queensland people stands. I also respectfully acknowledge the traditional owners and the present indigenous people who call the electorate of Albert home. The magnificent win by Peter Beattie's Labor team nearly seven weeks ago was not only a victory for the Australian Labor Party but also a celebration of strong leadership, unity and integrity. Labor's policy priorities of jobs, health and education are the very same priorities of the working families in my electorate. The people of Albert—and most of them are present in the public gallery today—recognised the fact that Labor has delivered in the area and as a result registered a two-party preferred vote to Labor of 63 per cent. This is even more historic when, for the first time in 114 years, Labor won every booth on primary votes. I say this to the people of Albert: thank you for the trust you have bestowed in me and the Beattie Labor government. I will repay your trust by working hard every day and every night and by giving you a strong voice in government. I place on record my thanks to Cameron Milner, who was my initial organiser but later went on to become the ALP State Secretary and director of the successful election campaign.
