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 adopted, released in 2023 based on 2021 data. However, these state projections do not provide age category splits, so AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections for each age cohort, released in 2023 based on 2022 data. By 2041, a significant population increase in the top quartile of Australian non-metropolitan areas is forecast, with Paradise Point - Hollywell expected to increase by 2,585 persons, recording a gain of 24.0% in total over the 17 years.
