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. -
