AreaSearch uses 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, age group growth rates from the ACT Government's SA2 area projections are adopted, using 2022 as the base year. Future trends predict exceptional growth for Greenway, placing it in the top 10% of statistical areas nationally.

In comparison, ACT recorded employment growth of 1.9%, labour force growth of 1.6%, with unemployment falling by 0.3 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Sep-22 suggest that national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these projections to Greenway's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, based on a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes.
