The OESR draw their data from the
Australian Bureau of Statistics and from
many other sources. These include reports provided by Queensland local government
authorities, by Queensland State Government departments and by Federal Government
departments.
In April 2004 the OESR released a report which summarises prior census data
collected about Nanango Shire and which compares some of this data to Queensland
state averages. The report also makes some forward projections based on this
data for the period 2001 to 2021.
Briefly, the OESR believe that the population of Nanango Shire will increase
from 8,351 in 2001 to 10,622 in 2021 - an annual average growth rate of 1.2%.
The report also illuminates areas where Nanango Shire outperforms Queensland
state averages and other areas where there's ample opportunity for future
growth and development.
