  • Surat Basin Non-Resident Population Projections, 2021 to 2025
    Queensland Government Statistician’s Office Surat Basin non–resident population projections, 2021 to 2025 Introduction The resource sector in regional Queensland utilises fly-in/fly-out Figure 1 Surat Basin region and drive-in/drive-out (FIFO/DIDO) workers as a source of labour supply. These non-resident workers live in the regions only while on-shift (refer to Notes, page 9). The Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS) official population estimates and the Queensland Government’s population projections for these areas only include residents. To support planning for population change, the Queensland Government Statistician’s Office (QGSO) publishes annual non–resident population estimates and projections for selected resource regions. This report provides a range of non–resident population projections for local government areas (LGAs) in the Surat Basin region (Figure 1), from 2021 to 2025. The projection series represent the projected non-resident populations associated with existing resource operations and future projects in the region. Projects are categorised according to their standing in the approvals pipeline, including stages of In this publication, the Surat Basin region is defined as the environmental impact statement (EIS) process, and the local government areas (LGAs) of Maranoa (R), progress towards achieving financial close. Series A is based Western Downs (R) and Toowoomba (R). on existing operations, projects under construction and approved projects that have reached financial close. Series B, C and D projections are based on projects that are at earlier stages of the approvals process. Projections in this report are derived from surveys conducted by QGSO and other sources. Data tables to supplement the report are available on the QGSO website (www.qgso.qld.gov.au).

These non-resident workers live in regional areas while on-shift. The Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS) resident population estimates for these areas do not include non-resident workers. The non-resident population represents the number of FIFO/DIDO workers who are on-shift in the region at a given point in time.

This report provides non-resident population estimates for the Surat Basin during the last week of June 2020. It also includes full–time equivalent (FTE) population estimates, which aggregate the resident and non-resident populations to provide a more complete indicator of demand for certain services.

  • Darling Downs Solar Farm Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 - Referral
    Origin Energy Darling Downs Solar Farm Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 - Referral 27 April 2016 Referral of proposed action Project title: Darling Downs Solar Farm 1 Summary of proposed action 1.1 Short description Origin Energy (the proponent) is seeking to develop a Solar Photovoltaic Generation Facility (solar farm) on Lot 119 SP227731, with ancillary power connections planned on Lot 121 SP178856, Grahams Road at Kogan in Queensland (the proposed action). Figure 1 shows the location of the proposed action. The development will consist of a number of panel areas, comprising arrays of solar panels connected to associated inverter stations (up to 200), which convert the low voltage DC current from approximately 1-2 ha of solar panels up to 33 Kilovolt (kV) medium voltage AC current. A high voltage internal electricity network will be used to collect the power from the inverter stations to the site’s substation. The internal network will be up to 33 kV and will consist of both underground and above ground cabling. At the substation the 33 kV input power will be converted to a suitable voltage for connection to the National Electricity Grid via an existing connection point at the Darling Downs Power Station. The potential development area (refer Figure 1) will contain all of the infrastructure for the solar farm including: Æ photovoltaic solar panels Æ internal access roads and tracks Æ high voltage substation Æ underground high voltage transmission lines Æ overhead high voltage transmission lines Æ administration building Æ maintenance and storage shed Æ vehicle car park Æ main gate crossover widening Æ pilot specific inclusions Æ miscellaneous infrastructure.
