Anything needed here? I can do anything here as I live here. I will try and see if I can expand it and talk about the industry seeing as there is alot here! Banana.girl 10:33, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I find it very difficult to believe that in the history of Gladstone, the contributors have reduced the establishment and continued social and industrial effects of Queensland Alumina on the city to a mere one dozen words. Having lived there from 1966 - 1970 during its 'frontier' days, I think that much more can be said about the history of the community and QAL. Yukka tukka indians (talk) 22:01, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think it is a matter of the content on Queensland Alumina having been "reduced", its more along the lines of never having been added in the first place. I don't think anyone has sat down and really had a good go at this article. Instead, the article has just grown in piecemeal fashion. Without a doubt, the story of the industrial development of Gladstone is a fascinating one; I would encourage you to be bold and expand the section yourself. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit! Cheers, Mattinbgn\talk 22:09, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

I think a fair bit needs to be added regarding the socio-economic impacts of the mining boom on Gladstone. It's pretty much a mining town now, which has both advantages and disadvantages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.56.20 (talk) 05:13, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

2021 census
Please don't update the Gladstone census data just yet. Only certain types of data have been released, e.g. suburbs, local government, but not the urban data for towns and cities (which we need for Gladstone). See https://www.abs.gov.au/census/2021-census-data-release-plans/2021-census-product-release-guide#2021-data-release (look under the tab labelled Geographies available in QuickStats).
