On 9 December 2005, the population of Queensland officially reached 4 million. According to Queensland’s Office of Economic and Statistical Research the estimated population of the state at the end of 2007 was 4,228,290 which is almost 20% of Australia’s total. Until 2008, Queensland was the fastest growing state in Australia. At its peak growth in 2007 over 1,500 people moved to the state per week including 1,000 in the southern part of the state alone and the state recorded a TFR of 2.1, the highest since 1977.[14] Queensland’s growth rate has since been surpassed by both Western Australia[15] and Victoria).
