AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections are used, released in 2023 based on 2021 data. These state projections do not provide age category splits, so AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings in line with ABS Greater Capital Region projections for each age cohort. Based on the latest population numbers and projected demographic shifts, a significant population increase is forecast, with the area expected to grow by 8,623 persons to 2041, reflecting an overall increase of 34.5% over the 17 years.
