Kingaroy Shire Council
Kingaroy Shire's Bumper Growth Rate
Over the 25-year period between 2001 and 2026, Kingaroy Shire is projected to grow by an average of 0.7% per annum.

However, rapid growth in the Shire since the 2001 Census may cause a significant upgrade of this projection after the 2006 Census.

By the end of 2004, the Shire's estimated population was somewhere between 13,000 and 13,500. This is a figure Kingaroy wasn't expected to achieve until 2011.

OESR Shire Report
Forecasting The Future
Of Kingaroy Shire
The Office of Economic and Statistical Research (OESR) is a Queensland Government agency that produces a wide range of research reports. Many of these reports are designed to assist forward planning by other other Government organisations and by the general public.

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 March 2005 the OESR released a report which summarises prior census data collected about Kingaroy Shire and which compares some of this data to Queensland state averages. The report also makes some forward projections for the period 2001 to 2026.

Briefly, the OESR believe that the population of Kingaroy Shire will increase from 11,808 in 2001 to 14,131 in 2026 - an annual average growth rate of 0.7%. The report also illuminates areas where Kingaroy Shire outperforms Queensland state averages and highlights other areas where there's opportunity for future growth and development.
