Introduction

The North Burnett local government area (LGA) is located in Queensland, approximately four hours drive north of Brisbane and one hour west of Bundaberg. The region encompasses six main townships – Biggenden, Eidsvold, Gayndah, Monto, Mt Perry and Mundubbera, which service around twenty-five villages and farming catchments.

The North Burnett Region covers approximately 19,700 square kilometres with the topography of the region being diverse from fertile farmland to rugged geographical formations.

The North Burnett region takes its name from the Burnett River that flows through the area. The region has an abundance of natural resources that include: water, rural farmland, mineral deposits, forests, geographical landscapes and National Parkland. Points of significant environmental interest include: Auburn, Boyne, Burnett and Nogo Rivers; Cania, Paradise and Wuruma Dam; and Auburn River, Coalstoun and Mt Walsh National Parks.

Population

The estimated resident population of the North Burnett region was 10,292 in 2015, representing a marginal annual decline of 0.1% from the level recorded in 2014. The North Burnett region comprised 3.6% of the population of the Wide-Bay Burnett region and 0.2% of Queensland in 2015. Over the past five years, the population of the North Burnett region decreased slightly by an average annual rate of 0.1%.

Projections to the year 2036 show that the population of the North Burnett region is expected to remain relatively unchanged by reaching a level of approximately 10,283 persons. By comparison, the forecast growth rates for the Wide-Bay Burnett region and Queensland over the same period are 1.2% and 1.8%, respectively, per annum.
