Profile of the Peninsula

Gosford Council has launched a "small area community profile" of the Peninsula on its website.

The profile includes population, residents' occupations and lifestyles, and the percentage of each small area population that is employed.

The information is derived from the ABS Census of Population and Housing 2001 and each small area can be compared to data from previous censuses.

It allows each small area to be compared to the Gosford Local Government Area, the Central Coast and NSW.

Data will be updated when the 2006 census information becomes available.

Umina Beach is profiled as one of three "stand-alone" areas.

The profile is available on council's website at www.gosford.nsw.gov.au.

The information can be accessed by first clicking Community Services and then Community Profile and scrolling down to Local Area Information - Small Area Community Profile.
