This is a follow up to last week's blog, which looked at population growth trends in Greater Brisbane. When I was conducting my analysis, it struck me that Greater Brisbane had a slightly smaller population than the rest of Queensland. A quick look at the numbers showed that the populations were converging. In 2019, the population of Greater Brisbane was 2.51m, compared to 2.58m in rest of Queensland. However, if current trends continue, Greater Brisbane will have a larger population than the rest of the state by the mid-2020s.

Which LGA has the longest standing boundary?
Changes to local government boundaries (LGAs) are a thorn in the side to any researcher interested in time series analysis. Depending on the scale of the change, adjustments need to be made to the data in order to make it comparable. On a recent day trip to the historic town of Queenscliff, I was reminded that the Borough of Queenscliffe (the spelling is different) was the only LGA in Victoria to emerge from the reforms of the 1990s unscathed. It made me wonder - is this the longest standing stable LGA boundary in Australia, or is there another contender? I go on a quest to find out.
