Queensland accounts for 18% of every venue we hold in New Zealand, which makes it the 3rd-largest of the 8 regions by venue count. Those 11,872 venues sit across 1,280 named towns and suburbs, of which 82 carry at least 25 venues and get a page of their own.
Distribution inside the region is relatively even: Brisbane (1,320), Gold Coast (473) and Cairns (283) hold 17% of everything between them. The remaining 1,198 places average 4.7 venues each — a long tail of small settlements that we list on the nearest town page rather than give an empty page to.
The regional split runs 76% eating to 30% accommodation, against a national 75/25. That is close to the national balance.
4,808 venues in Queensland carry a cuisine tag. Measured against the national mix, the region over-indexes on patisserie (4), açaí (4) and western (4), and under-indexes on mediterranean and lebanese.
Data quality varies by region and it is worth knowing where this one stands: 2,028 venues here publish opening hours (17% against 17% nationally), 2,628 list a website, and 711 record step-free access. Everything on this site comes from open data, so coverage reflects what mappers and councils have published — not what exists on the ground.
