History
In 1869 a cemetery was established a block bounded by Woongarra, Maryborough, Woondooma and McLean Streets (in present-day Bundaberg Central). It was quickly recognised this could not be a long-term option and a new site of 40 acres (16 ha) was reserved for a new cemetery (now within Millbank) and burials commenced there in 1873. In 1881 the deteriorating condition of the old cemetery led to calls to exhume and relocate the burials from the old cemetery to the new, with the rationale that the proceeds of selling the land of the old cemetery would outweigh the cost of relocating the graves. The relocation of the graves was completed by January 1882.In the 2011 census, Millbank had a population of 2,601 people.In the 2016 census Millbank had a population of 2,512 people.
