Panorama

An assessment of population growth drivers in Panorama reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent, and medium term trends

Based on ABS population updates and AreaSearch validations, the Panorama statistical area's population is estimated at around 2,702 as of November 2025. This reflects an increase of 314 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,388 people in the Panorama (SA2). The change was inferred from AreaSearch's estimated resident population of 2,665 following examination of ABS' latest ERP data release in June 2024 and an additional 32 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,552 persons per square kilometer, above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The Panorama's 13.1% growth since the 2021 census exceeded that of its SA3 area (5.0%) and SA4 region, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Overseas migration contributed approximately 79.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category are adopted, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Considering projected demographic shifts, an above median population growth is projected for the Panorama statistical area, expected to increase by 512 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 11.8% in total over the 17 years.
