For projections, AreaSearch adopts 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 are adopted, 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 the ABS Greater Capital Region projections for each age cohort, released in 2023 using 2022 data as the base year. Future population dynamics anticipate an above median growth, with Holmview expected to expand by 1,110 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a total increase of 12.9% over the 17 years.
