• Gladstone has a larger proportion of the population aged 20-24 making up 5.65 per cent of the population (2,129 people) compared to 5 per cent for the region. Although, the proportion of people in this age bracket has decreased by 1.6 per cent over the past five years.
• Gladstone has a smaller proportion of the population aged between 50 and 84 than the region, however at a local level the percentage of people in these age brackets are increasing with an increase of 2,427 people between 2011 and 2021.

There will continue to be demand for diverse services and activity opportunities to cater for all age groups in the community.

Consideration should be given to services, lifestyle offerings and opportunities for those in tertiary education and the young work force if they are to stay within the region. Currently, Gladstone’s population is decreasing at a higher proportional rate than the wider region. This could impact on the number of parents, home builders and ultimately the region’s future growth.

With a significant ageing population and with the trend of retirement living, consideration should be made for increased access to health services.

Considerations:

• There is an increasing population of school age children needing assistance, consideration to be given when planning programs activities and events.
• Just under 40 per cent of people requiring assistance with core activities are aged between 55 years and over. Consideration should be given when planning for activities designed for seniors.

With a population of just shy of 38,000, the Gladstone community has a large number of community groups, sport and recreation groups and support services.
