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

  • Australian Senate SUBMISSION by Hunter Joint Organisation
    Australian Senate Select Committee into Jobs for the Future in Regional Areas Committee Secretariat Department of the Senate PO Box 6100 Parliament House CANBERRA, ACT 2600 By email: [email protected] SUBMISSION by Hunter Joint Organisation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Hunter Joint Organisation (HJO) welcomes this opportunity to make a submission to this critical national discussion, thorough the Select Committee, on Jobs for the Future in Regional Areas. The HJO is a hub for local government collaboration with expertise in regional policy and program development as well as operating small businesses in a regional context. The strategic focus of the HJO’s general observations, and its Hunter specific recommendations, is to highlight the critical importance of collaboration of all levels of government to systematise a platform for genuine, place based, local decision making and action. Only this approach will optimise the future job outcomes for the wide variety of communities that exist across Regional Australia. Drawing from its experience and action within the Hunter Region, the HJO offers the following observations in response to the Terms of Reference for the Select Committee. While these observations are initially expressed in general terms in the Executive Summary, they reflect important elements that will underpin the future of regional jobs in the Hunter. More specific discussion of what is occurring and the aspirations of the Hunter Region follows in the balance of the submission. ********** New regional industries and employment opportunities will be realised on a region by region basis. Creation of these new opportunities is a function of the interaction between global economic and technological trends, national economic and demographic trends but applied to the unique local economic and employment context of each region in Australia.

ANDREW REFSHAUGE, M.P., Minister forfor PlanningPlanning Explanatory note On the commencement of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Amendment Act 1997, demolition became one component of the definition of development, rather than (as had previously been the case) a separate activity that could be controlled only if an environmental planning instrument expressly so provided. Prior to that commencement, the principal legislation that controlled demolition was the Local Government Act 1993. The inadvertent prohibition of demolition as a consequence of the extension of the definition of development was prevented by clause 29 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment (Savings and Transitional) Regulation 1998. Clause 29 was expressed to expire on 1 July 2000 (later extended to 1 July 2001), by which time it was intended that all environmental planning instruments that, but for that clause, would prohibit demolition would, in appropriate cases, be amended to remove that prohibition. Appropriate amendments to three environmental planning instruments applying to land in the Gosford local government area have yet to be made. The object of this Regulation is to temporarily revive the effect of clause 29, in relation only to demolition in certain parts of Gosford, so as to enable demolition to be carried out (with development consent) pending the commencement of an environmental planning instrument that achieves a more permanent effect.
