Please note that data for Shellborough is not recorded as it is included as part of the South Hedland data. Shellborough is an area in South Hedland.
Differences in energy consumption between months are driven by seasonal variations.
Differences in energy consumption between areas may be attributed to the age of the home, housing design, energy efficiency measures implemented, efficiency of appliances, number of residents and size of the home.
Cooke Point had an average monthly bill of $0 in May 2009, July 2009, September 2009 and January 2010 because no bills were issued in those months.
