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

However, the settlement was relocated to Brisbane in 1825. Land was taken up in the 1840s, being used mainly for timber-getting and farming. Population was minimal until the 1860s, when grazing and farming were established (including sugar cane and cotton growing). Growth took place in the 1880s and 1890s, spurred by the opening of the railway line from Brisbane in 1888. Expansion continued during the 1930s. Significant development occurred during the post-war years, particularly from the 1960s. Rapid growth took place during the 1970s and 1980s. The population increased substantially from the early 1990s, rising from about 206,000 in 1991 to about 373,000 in 2011. Land use Land use The Moreton Bay Region is a growing residential area, with substantial rural, rural-residential, commercial and industrial areas. The Council area encompasses a total land area of over 2,000 square kilometres, including mountain ranges, water supply catchments, coastal wetlands, national parks, state forests, rural townships and urban centres. Rural land is used mainly for dairy farming, timber, beef cattle, mixed farming and tropical fruit growing. Transport The Moreton Bay Region is served by the Bruce Highway, the D’Aguilar Highway and the Brisbane­ Caboolture railway line.

Page 8 of 83 Page 9 of 83 Five year age groups The Age Structure of Moreton Bay Region provides key insights into the level of demand for age based services and facilities such as child care. It is also an indicator of Moreton Bay Region'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 Moreton Bay Region's Age Structure should be viewed in conjunction with Household Types and Dwelling Types.

  • Australia's Sunbelt Migration: the Recent Growth of Brisbane and the Moreton Bay Region
    Australia's Sunbelt Migration: The Recent Growth of Brisbane and The Moreton Bay Region Patrick Mullins INTRODUCTION The most significant contemporary change in Australian regional development has been the growth of the relatively underdeveloped states of Queensland and Western Australia, on the one hand, and the relative decline "of the spatial core of Australian capitalism, New South Wales and Victoria, on the other. The former are developing as a result of inflows of foreign capital for the exploitation and export of mineral reserves, while the ebb in New South Wales and victoria is a consequence of the decline in the early 1970s of Australia's manufacturing industry. Yet the development of Queensland and Western Australia is not simply a consequence of mineral expropriation since additional processes have operated. It is the pur­ pose of this paper to analyse the other major element involved in the" expansion" of one of these two marginal states: Queensland. The second and largely independent impetus to Queensland's development revolves around the rapid population growth of the dominant southeastern corner of the state; that is, the Moreton Region, comprising mainly metropolitan Brisbane, as well as the Gold Coast, 60 kilometres south, and the towns of the Sunshine Coast stretch­ ing 100 kilometres north. The rate of population growth in the Moreton Region during the 1960s and 1970s has been faster than Queensland and Australia as a whole, and Brisbane has grown faster over the same period than almost all major metropolitan centres. Other parts of the region, particularly the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast towns of Caloundra and Maroochydore/Mooloolaba, have experienced even faster growth, with the Gold Coast, for instance, doubling its population between 1954 and 1966 and then again, to over 100,000, between 1966 and 1976.

  • Suburb Snapshot KALLANGUR QLD 4053
    Suburb Snapshot KALLANGUR QLD 4053 The suburb of Kallangur is set within the Moreton Bay Region of Queensland and is an urban / semi-urban area 24 km north of Brisbane. Kallangur is bounded by the locality of Narangba in the north, the Bruce Highway in the east, Fresh Water Creek, Bunbury Street, Duffield Road, the suburb of Murrumba Downs and Bickle Road in the east, the North Pine River in the south and the railway line in the west. The population in this area has continued to increase and recent development has been in response to the general housing demand in the northern growth corridor. Locals say it is a beautiful suburb, very community minded with fetes and community events on all year round. Schools are within walking distance of the newest estates and there are many corner shops and food outlets and a small shopping centre is in the town centre. There are various health care and pet care facilities. Large shopping centres are serviced by a good public transport system with rail and buses. They say their suburb is improving all the time and is a good, affordable suburb which is great for families. 1 | P a g e Transport The Region is served by the Bruce Highway, the D'Aguilar Highway and the Brisbane-Caboolture railway line making it simple to commute to the Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast or Gold Coast. Residents of Kallangur will have even more transport options for work and recreation. The Kallangur Bypass, also referred to as the Petrie to Mango Hill transport corridor, is a proposed infrastructure project to alleviate traffic congestion in this area.

  • Brisbane Valley Rail Trail – Australia's Longest Trail
    IPWEAQ State Conference 22-24 October 2019 Brisbane Valley Rail Trail – Australia’s Longest Trail A Johnson1 1Somerset Regional Council, QLD Abstract The Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BVRT), a 157km long, off-road recreational trail is finished, with the final 27km recently completed by Somerset Regional Council. It is the longest trail in Australia and follows the disused Brisbane Valley rail corridor. Walkers, cyclists and horse riders now have a unique opportunity to experience the diverse rural landscape of the breath-taking Brisbane Valley. The project is so much more than a successful engineering outcome – it has recycled a dormant rail corridor into an iconic recreational trail that is attracting visitors and new businesses to the Somerset region. The final 27km section, Toogoolawah to Moore (T2M), was completed in June 2018, after numerous rounds of unsuccessful funding election commitments, and finally realised through a collaborative funding push by the community, local and state governments. Council prepared a business case to secure funding from the Australian Government’s Better Building Regions Fund. Community support was evident, and the cost/benefit ratio confirmed the project’s benefits would clearly outweigh the delivery cost. Council successfully secured funding totaling $3.35M. Council delivered a landmark project for Somerset and broader South-East Queensland community - the following overarching objectives were achieved: The region is benefitting from the delivery of world-class recreational trail with increased visitation to the region It’s recycled a dormant corridor with long-term community and economic benefits Residents have easy access to a recreational trail delivering health, social and cultural experiences Employment growth was achieved during construction, and jobs in rail trail operations and tourism are now created The visual outlook of the corridor has been enhanced The community’s profile is vibrant from increased public exposure And Queensland’s reputation as a cycling tourism destination has been strengthened.

  • 2014 Update of the SEQ NRM Plan: Moreton Bay Region Incorporating Pumicestone and Pine Catchments
    Item: 2014 Update of the SEQ NRM Plan – Moreton Bay Region Date: Last updated 11 November 2014 2014 Update of the SEQ NRM Plan: Moreton Bay Region incorporating Pumicestone and Pine Catchments How can the SEQ NRM Plan support the Community’s Vision? Supporting Document 7 for the 2014 Update of the SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan Note regards State Government Planning Policy: The Queensland Government is currently undertaking a review of the SEQ Regional Plan 2009. Whilst this review has yet to be finalised, the government has made it clear that the “new generation” statutory regional plans focus on the particular State Planning Policy issues that require a regionally-specific policy direction for each region. This quite focused approach to statutory regional plans compares to the broader content in previous (and the current) SEQ Regional Plan. The SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan has therefore been prepared to be consistent with the State Planning Policy.
