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 released in 2023 based on 2021 data are adopted, with proportional growth weightings applied for age cohorts as per ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023. Future population dynamics anticipate an increase just below the median of Australian statistical areas to 2041, with the area expected to increase by 782 persons reflecting a total increase of 10.5% over the 17 years.
