AreaSearch adopted ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections were used, released in 2023 based on 2021 data. These state projections do not provide age category splits, so AreaSearch applied proportional growth weightings from ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. By 2041, a significant population increase of 4,950 persons is forecasted, reflecting a total increase of 32.4% over the 16 years.
