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 Central Highlands Regional Council. 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 Central Highlands Regional Council. See data notes for a detailed explanation of different population types, how they are calculated and when to use each one.

Important Population Land area Population density Statistics 28,716 5,996,825 0.00 2011 Usual residents hectares (59,968 persons per hectare Km2) Central Highlands Regional Council Legend Districts Central Highlands Regional Council Map data ©2013 GBRMPA, Google - Terms of Use Report a map error Settlement history European settlement dates from the 1850s, with land used mainly for cattle and sheep grazing. Growth took place from the late 1800s into the early 1900s, spurred by the opening of the railway line from Rockhampton in the late 1870s and the establishment of several townships. Significant development did not occur until the 1960s, with growth through to the 1980s, spurred by coal mining and improved irrigation for farming. The population of the Region was relatively stable during the 1990s, and then increased between 2001 and 2006, with growth mainly in the townships of Blackwater and Emerald. Page 7 of 81 Land use Land use The Central Highlands Region is a rural and rural- residential area. The main towns are Emerald and Blackwater, with smaller townships at Bluff, Capella, Dingo, Duaringa, Rolleston, Springsure and Tieri. The Region encompasses a total area of almost 60,000 square kilometres. Land is used largely for cattle and sheep grazing, crop growing, coal mining and gem fossicking. Transport The Council area is served by the Capricorn Highway, the Carnarvon Highway, the Dawson Highway and the Gregory Highway. Major features Major features of the Region include various national parks (Blackdown Tableland, Carnarvon, Minerva Hills, Nuga Nuga, Palmgrove, Snake Range and Taunton), Fairbairn Dam, Lake Maraboon, Central Queensland University (Emerald Campus), Central Queensland University of TAFE (Central Highlands Campus), numerous state forests and gem fossicking areas. Indigenous background The original inhabitants of the Central Highlands area were the Kairi, Kanolu and Wadja Aboriginal people.

Page 8 of 81 Five year age groups The Age Structure of Central Highlands Regional Council provides key insights into the level of demand for age based services and facilities such as child care. It is also an indicator of Central Highlands Regional Council'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 Central Highlands Regional Council's Age Structure should be viewed in conjunction with Household Types and Dwelling Types.

  • Gold in Central Queensland
    73 GOLD OCCURRENCES IN CENTRAL QUEENSLAND Extract from the Queensland Mining Guide No attempt is made in this portion of the Mining Guide to deal with the past history of the various mining fields or to describe the many mines being worked in the State. The object rather is to show - both to the individual prospector and to the mining investor - some of the mining possibilities of each of the districts mentioned, passing reference being made to particular mines in certain cases only. Slight reference only has been made to geological features. The relative importance of deposits and districts mentioned cannot be gauged by the lengths of the references in these notes. On many of the old fields the conditions are well known, or can be ascertained at the main centres. Special attention has been drawn to some of the lesser known fields. Any person or company desirous of obtaining further details in relation to any of the nines, deposits, or localities referred to should communicate with the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Brisbane, or with the nearest Warden, Inspector of Mines, or District Geologist. General area covered by this report The Reworking of Deposits The fact that certain ore-bodies were worked years ago and were abandoned does not necessarily imply that such deposits cannot be worked profitably under different conditions. The metal market is always a primary factor in deciding the success or 1:250 000 scale maps failure of mining ventures. The utilization of First edition 1968/75 modern methods of mining and treatment may bring renewed life to some mines.

  • Galilee Basin Housing Market Analysis
    Appendices | RP Data Galilee Basin Housing Market Analysis Galilee Basin Housing market analysis Prepared for Waratah Coal Considering the increased requirement for housing related to the proposed construction and operation of the Galilee Coal Project (Northern Export Facility) and associated railway and facilities, Waratah Coal have approached RP Data to provide an analysis of local housing market conditions and assess how the proposed influx of workers may impact on those conditions. Specifically this research has focussed on assessing and measuring housing market conditions and the extent of housing supply across relevant townships that are likely to be impacted by the proposed project. These townships include Alpha and Jericho which are the closest established residential areas to the proposed mine. Additionally the study has included the closest major service centre which is the town of Emerald, located about a 170km drive east of Alpha. The townships of Collinsville and Bowen have also been included in the study due to their proximity to the proposed loading facilities at Abbot Point. The analysis also provides a separate focus on two established communities outside of the Galilee Basin. The communities of Moranbah and greater Gladstone provide an interesting and important reference point about how commodity driven housing markets can be affected by surging labour demand.

  • Central Queensland El Niño – Southern Oscillation Other Climate Drivers
    Northern Australia Climate Program CLIMATE SAVVY FOR GRAZING MANAGEMENT Central Queensland El Niño – Southern Oscillation Other Climate Drivers What: ENSO has two active phases, El Niño and La Niña, and an inactive or neutral phase. When: Any time between June (start) to April (end). Main impacts of ENSO are usually from December to March. Events Madden-Julian Oscillation can span multiple years, which is more common with La Niña events. Where: Entire region, but increased impacts more likely near coast. What: A large band of clouds that influence alternating wet/dry conditions during the wet/summer season. The MJO can increase the availability of moisture in the area during an MJO ‘wet’ phase, leading to an increased chance of rain. How: El Niño tends to cause warmer days and less rainfall, fewer cyclones, and increase risk of spring frosts due to clear nights. La Niña tends to cause wetter weather, increased humidity, and an increased risk of cyclones and flooding. When: Year-round, but mainly during wet season (December to April). Day time temperatures are usually lower due to cloud cover. Where: Mostly in the tropics, but influence can extend into sub-tropics. Prediction lead time: How: Impact varies by season and location. About 2-3 months for a more reliable forecast, up to 6 months in advance for an indication of a possible ENSO event. We start looking for a possible ENSO event in April/May, but become more confident in the forecast in June/July. Period Wet Phases Dry Phases Note: There is a ‘prediction gap’ from about January to April when it is very difficult to know whether or not an June, July, August (minimal impact) 4 7 ENSO will develop in the coming winter.
