The make-up of the changes varied enormously among the LGAs. For example, Cairns saw a decrease from internal migration with the increases coming equally from natural growth and external migration while Mareeba, which performed well, saw internal migration account for 43% of growth. The Cassowary Coast experienced 83% of its (modest) growth from external migration while Townsville’s increase came predominantly from natural growth and lost population to internal migration.
