Note: For the rate calculations, population data were obtained from the Australian Bureau of Statistics publication: Regional Population Growth, Australia, 2004-05, Cat. No. 3218.0. As no population estimates were available for 2006 when this report was published, rates for 2006 were calculated using 2005 population estimates.
