Image Flat is a rural locality in the Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, Australia. [2] In the 2021 census, Image Flat had a population of 457 people. [1]
The locality is on the outskirts of Nambour. The land use is a mix of rural residential housing and grazing on native vegetation. [3]
A rural farming area, the locale was named prior to 1896. A government receiving office was opened in 1901. [4] During the 1910s, the area had market gardens. [5] Sugar cane was then complemented by a dairy industry, and later as free from frost, bananas. [6] There was a notable Finnish population at one time. [7] [8]
In the late 1890s, a sugar cane tramway was constructed that terminated at Image Flat. [9] [10] By 1903, the line had been extended, but having to address a 1:23 grade. [11] [12] The cane trolleys were being drawn by horses until picked up further along by a locomotive, for the Moreton Central Sugar Cane Company Limited. [13] A line extension was still being sought by 1923. [14] Sugar cane pests and diseases had an impact in the local industry in 1924. [15] In 1954, the concern had crossed to the Panama disease in bananas. [16]
A committee was formed by 1951 seeking to bring electrical light and power to the area, although this had been proposed by a Nambour committee in 1923. [17] [18]
In the 2011 census, Image Flat had a population of 462 people. [19]
In the 2016 census, Image Flat had a population of 443 people. [20]
In the 2021 census, Image Flat had a population of 457 people. [1]
There are no schools in Image Flat. Nambour State College in neighbouring Nambour to the south-east is the nearest government primary and secondary school. [3]
