Settlement history European settlement of the area dates from the 1840s, with land used mainly for grazing. Copper discoveries were made in 1845 in Burra, prompting the establishment of copper mining and significant growth in the township. Mining ceased in 1877, causing a significant population decline in the Burra township. Growth took place in the wider area from the mid to late 1800s as many small townships were established, aided by the opening of the railway line. The main industry then became wheat growing. The Hallett Wind Farms were established near the towns of Burra and Hallett from 2008. The population of the Council area has been relatively stable in recent years. Land use The Regional Council of Goyder area is predominantly rural, with a township at Burra, a smaller township at Eudunda, and villages and small settlements at Booborowrie, Farrell Flat, Hallett, Mount Bryan, Point Pass, Robertstown, Terowie and Whyte Yarcowie. Rural land is used largely for agriculture, particularly cereal crops and sheep grazing, with some cattle grazing and power generation. Tourism is also an important industry. The Council area encompasses a total land area of about 6,700 square kilometres.

Page 10 of 119 Regional Council of Goyder Population and dwellings There are a number of different ways of measuring the population of an area, all of which give an insight into the size of the place and its rate of growth over different time periods. The Census counts people where they are on the night of the Census (enumerated population) and also by where they usually live (usual residence). Both these populations are useful and form the basis for a range of characteristics collected in the Census. However, the most accurate count of the total population is Estimated Resident Population, which factors in an estimate of those missed in the Census and those who were overseas on Census night. It is usually higher than either Census count, and is also updated annually after the Census, providing preliminary estimates for up to 5 years. This page provides the three population counts for Regional Council of Goyder at the last Census, with comparisons to previous Census years for the Census counts only. The current estimate for Regional Council of Goyder at the most recent year available is shown at the top of the page. This figure is a preliminary estimate only and is subject to review after the next Census data are released. Please use with caution. Also included are a range of sub-population groups and key statistics from the Census (usual resident) population, such as citizens, employed persons and Indigenous population. These figures all provide the context for the size of the population and growth rate within Regional Council of Goyder and should be looked at in conjunction with other basic demographic information, such as Age Structure, Dwelling Type and Household Size. The data on this page are sourced from a variety of different tables and designed to give a range of population and dwelling numbers for the area.
