  • Gladstone Region Population Report, 2016
    Queensland Government Statistician’s Office Gladstone region population report, 2016 Introduction The Gladstone region population report, 2016 provides estimates of Figure 1 Gladstone region the non-resident population of the Gladstone region during the last week of June 2016, based on surveys conducted by Queensland Government Statistician’s Office (QGSO). Information regarding the supply and take-up of commercial accommodation by non-resident workers is also summarised. The non-resident population represents the number of fly-in/fly-out and drive-in/drive-out (FIFO/DIDO) workers who were on-shift in the region at the time of collection. This group includes those involved in the production, construction, and maintenance of mining and gas industry operations, projects and related infrastructure. Non-resident workers are not included in estimated resident population (ERP) data released annually by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. As a result, the full–time equivalent (FTE) population estimates presented in this report, which combine the resident and non-resident populations, provide a more complete indicator of total demand for certain services than either measure used alone. Key findings Key findings of this report include: The non-resident population of the Gladstone region was The Gladstone region – at a glance estimated at 1,540 persons at the end of June 2016, around 3,890 persons or 72% lower than in June 2015. The Gladstone region comprises the local government area (LGA) of Gladstone (R), which Gladstone region's non-resident population in 2015–16 largely includes the city and port of Gladstone, as well as comprised FIFO/DIDO workers engaged in construction of three other residential centres and the rural hinterland.

    A member group of Lock the Gate Alliance www.savethereef.net.au Dr Andrew Jeremijenko [email protected] 0438372653 Chad Kirby [email protected] Dr Libby Connors [email protected] 0429487110 Gladstone Review Secretariat PO Box 787 Canberra ACT 2601 Email: [email protected] Submission to the Independent Review of the Port of Gladstone Thank you for this opportunity to make a submission. Save the Reef would like to respond to points a) to e) of the terms of reference. a) all previous review findings and information used as a basis for the current approvals for development in the Port of Gladstone; Save the Reef has concerns about the approvals process. There is the suspicion that pressure has been applied at all levels from the inception of the idea, where World Heritage Status and the Outstanding Universal Value of Gladstone harbour and Curtis Island was not properly accounted, through to the Environmental Impact Statements that minimised the environmental sensitivity of the area and did not adequately assess the risks, through to the approval process at both state and federal levels. Coordinator-General Decision-Making Process Three CSG/LNG plants are currently being constructed on Curtis Island. Additionally, the statutory authority, Gladstone Ports Corporation [GPC] is undertaking major coal terminal expansion and preparatory work for potential additional csg/LNG plants on the mainland. In order to support this infrastructure Gladstone Ports Corporation is undertaking the largest dredging operation ever attempted in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. The Ports Corporation plans to dredge 46 million cubic tonnes from Gladstone Harbour and the LNG sites.
