Drivers of population change

Development History

The Sunshine Coast Council area is a rapidly growing residential and tourist area located in South East , about 100 kilometres north of . It encompasses a total land area of about 2,200 square kilometres, including significant beaches, coastline, waterways, national parks, state forests and bushland. The area is diverse in terms of its land use and economic base with a mixture of urban areas, resort towns, tourist developments, inland towns, rural land and parkland. Tourism is a major industry with many resorts and holiday accommodation located along the coast. Much of the rural area is used for dairy farming, cattle grazing and crop growing.

Although European settlement of the Sunshine Coast dates back to 1850s, significant development did not occur until the post-war years, as the area began to develop into a centre for tourism. Rapid growth took place particularly from the late 1960s when the population of the Council area increased from about 21,000 in 1947 to about 36,000 in 1971. The population has continued to increase rapidly, rising to nearly 137,000 in 1991, to about 200,000 in 2001, and then to over 267,000 in 2011, becoming one of the fastest growing Council areas in Australia. The Sunshine Coast has several significant urban hubs, concentrated predominantly on the coast at Caloundra, Kawana Waters and Maroochydore, whilst inland centres such as Nambour, Maleny and, increasingly, Beerwah, have developed primarily as commercial centres for the hinterland.

Migration patterns

The primary housing market role that the Sunshine Coast plays is varied: the coastal urban areas attract retirees from Brisbane and interstate (mainly New South Wales) and younger adults accessing employment (generally within tourism and the service economy); new developments close to the coast (such as Pelican Waters and Peregian Springs) and established suburban areas (such as Buderim) tend to attract older families as well as empty-nesters; and townships within the hinterland predominantly attract families and retirees from the wider rural region. The urban hubs of Maroochydore, Kawana Waters and Caloundra, and the University of the Sunshine Coast in Sippy Downs attract young people from rural areas, regional Queensland and overseas to educational and employment opportunities, while the as a whole loses young people to larger centres in Queensland such as Brisbane and interstate.

The importance of the Sunshine Coast as a destination for families and retirees is expected to continue into the future, with migration mostly comprised of parents with young children attracted to new greenfield development areas and empty nesters and retirees attracted to coastal centres and, to a lesser degree, the rural hinterland around centres such as Maleny. These trends are driven by large new areas of housing and commercial development, particularly around Kawana Waters and the development of the Maroochydore City Centre, the ongoing development of Peregian Springs and significant greenfield opportunities in Palmview (Harmony) and Caloundra South (Aura).

Housing role and function

With a variety of residential, tourism focussed and rural areas as well as the location and development of large institutions such as the Sunshine Coast Public University Hospital (opened 2016) and the University of the Sunshine Coast, different areas within the Sunshine Coast have developed different roles within the housing market. The urban beachside areas of Marcoola - Twin Waters - Pacific Paradise, Caloundra - Kings Beach - Moffat Beach - Shelly Beach, Maroochydore, and Mooloolaba - Alexandra Headland are important retirement destinations as well as significant areas for tourism. Urban hubs such as Maroochydore, Caloundra - Kings Beach - Moffat Beach - Shelly Beach and Mooloolaba - Alexandra Headland have large amounts of tourist and rental accommodation attractive to retirees and young adults due to their location, relative ease of travelling to the university, employment opportunities and a growing stock of medium and high density housing. Other beachside areas such as Golden Beach, Wurtulla - Buddina & District, Pelican Waters, and areas stretching away from the coast, such as Buderim - Kuluin - Mons - Kunda Park, have a more suburban aspect which, whilst attracting significant numbers of empty-nesters and retirees, have a large stock of detached housing that appeals to families with children. This is a similar pattern to that experienced in the rural centres of Nambour, Maleny, Beerwah and Landsborough, which attract retirees from the wider region (wanting to be close to services as needs change) and families. Other rural areas such as Mapleton - Flaxton - Obi Obi, Maleny - Witta - North Maleny, Glass House Mountains - Beerburrum - Coochin Creek - and Yandina - Yandina Creek & District attract large numbers of empty-nesters owing to lifestyle choice and proximity to national parks. In contrast newly developed estates in Mountain Creek (Brightwater) and Little Mountain - Caloundra West - Meridan Plains - Bells Creek (Aura) attract predominantly young families with children aged 0-9 years and first-time homebuyers.

Housing Supply

There are also significant differences in the supply of residential property within the Sunshine Coast which will have a major influence on population and household outcomes over the forecast period. Significant ‘greenfield’ opportunities have been identified in Palmwoods and Caloundra South that are expected to attract families with children and also provide affordable housing options for first-time home-buyers. Further residential development in Pelican Waters and Peregian Springs is likely to appeal to empty-nesters and retirees as well as established families who are second or third time homebuyers. The construction of Maroochydore’s CBD (SunCentral) as a regional centre in an already established town is expected to influence the mix of housing and population in the immediate area. In the longer term, there are likely to be further greenfield opportunities identified within the hinterland in response to increasing longer term demand within . There are also significant residential opportunities within other established urban areas, with the development of Oceanside at Kawana Waters likely to supply significant numbers of higher and medium density housing opportunities. These projects, together with the continuing development of the Sunshine Coast Public University Hospital, are expected to provide significant employment and economic opportunities for the region, further stimulating housing demand. The continued development of the University can be expected to have a similar outcome in Sippy Downs, prompting further commercial and residential growth. There are also significant opportunities for greater densification of housing around Nicklin Way with the establishment of the proposed light-rail transport system which overtime is expected to add significantly to the dwelling stock. Beachside areas, such as Caloundra, Wurtulla, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba - Alexandra Headland and Coolum Beach are expected to have considerable numbers of apartments and units built on redevelopment sites for both tourism and retirement purposes, while older suburbs such as Buderim - Kuluin - Mons - Kunda Park and Sippy Downs are expected to have large rates of infill development due to the age and size of housing lots in the area. Finally, low density residential subdivision is expected to continue around townships throughout the period, collectively adding relatively significant numbers over the forecast period, attracting predominantly families with children and empty- nester households.

Population summary

This table summarises the population for Sunshine Coast Council area and each of its small areas. This enables the ability to see how population change is affecting different parts of the LGA in different ways. Some small areas may be rapidly growing whilst others are stable or even declining in population.

Please note that population numbers in forecast.id for the 2016 base year are derived from Estimated Resident Population from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. These differ from (and are usually higher than) Census counts as they factor in population missed by the Census and population overseas on Census night. They are generally considered a more accurate measure of population size than Census counts.

Population, households and dwellings

This summary shows the results of the forecasts for population, households and dwellings in Sunshine Coast Council area. The period 2016 to 2026, as the short to medium term, is likely to be the most accurate and useful forecast information for immediate planning purposes.

It is important to look at the relationship between population and average household size. If the average household size is falling, then there will need to be growth in the number of households (and dwellings for them to live in) to maintain or grow the population.

Forecast population, households and average household size

Key findings

In 2016, the total population of Sunshine Coast Council area was estimated to be 303,392 people (ABS Census figure is 303,389 people). It is expected to increase by over 83,300 people to 386,692 by 2026, at an average annual growth rate of 2.46%. This is based on an increase of over 32,700 households during the period, with the average number of persons per household remaining stable at 2.48 to 2026.

11

Components of population change

There are two ways in which populations can change, through net migration and/or through natural increase (births minus deaths). Some areas are more driven by one or other of these factors. Migration is largely driven by housing development, employment opportunities and lifestyle, whereas natural increase is a function of the age of the population.

Population and age structure

Knowledge of how the age structure of the population is changing is essential for planning age-based facilities and services, such as child care, educational facilities, recreation and aged care.

The forecast age groups of Sunshine Coast Council area are a function of the current age of the population (people aging each year, being born and dying) as well as the age of people migrating into and out of the area. This in turn is driven by location (fringe, city centre, regional or rural), the existing housing stock (separate dwellings, medium or high density), the amount and type of new residential development (same as existing stock, or diversifying) and where the area is in a cycle of change. We call this the area’s residential role and function.

Key findings

In 2016, the dominant age structure for persons in Sunshine Coast Council area was ages 45 to 49, which accounted for 7.0% of the total persons.

The largest increase in persons between 2016 and 2026 is forecast to be in ages 35 to 39, which is expected to increase by 7,425 and account for 6.5% of the total persons.

The largest 5 year age group in 2026 is forecast to be 40 to 44 years, with 6.7% of the total population, or 25,904 persons.

Household types

Analysing the future household structure in Sunshine Coast Council area, especially in conjunction with age structure, provides insight to the role the area plays in the housing market. Some areas, usually with separate housing stock, are dominated by families. Others, with more dense housing in inner city locations have significant numbers of lone person households and couples without dependents.

Key findings

In 2016, the dominant household type in Sunshine Coast Council area was Couples without dependents, which accounted for 33.7% of all households.

The largest increase between 2016 and 2026 is forecast to be in Couples without dependents, which will increase by 11,904 households and account for 34.2% of all households.

In contrast Other families is forecast to increase by 354 households, to comprise 1.5% of all households in 2026, compared to 1.7% in 2016.

Dwellings and development Legend Visualising the geographic pattern of growth in dwelling stock across Sunshine Coast Council area is a good starting point for assessing the scale and type of change each part of the area is undergoing. Some areas will be experiencing significant growth in new dwellings, either through greenfield development or densification and renewal.

However it would be a mistake to assume that areas not experiencing significant housing development are not undergoing change. Other processes will be at work such as the aging-in-place of the existing population and changing household structures. The age structure and household type maps will uncover these population shifts.

Residential development

The addition of dwellings to the housing stock is a major driver of population growth in an area, providing opportunities for households to relocate from other areas or new households to form locally (such as young people leaving the family home or separations/divorces).

Residential development can take various forms depending on the availability of land. These include new housing estates on greenfield sites, subdivision in existing residential neighbourhoods (often called infill development), conversion of industrial land to residential land, and densification of housing by building ‘up’.

.id's forecasters worked with Council planners to understand the likely development activity in each small area. This forms the development assumptions for the forecasts. This table shows the quantity of new development assumed in each small area in the Sunshine Coast Council area.

Net migration by age

Migration is one of the most important components of population change. Once you have established the amount of development activity in an area, the next step is to make assumptions about who will move into the area as well as who is leaving the area.

Net migration by age is an excellent way of understanding housing markets. The most mobile age groups in the population are young adults. They tend to move to attend educational institutions, seek work and express a change in lifestyle. Market research has shown that empty nesters are more likely to move to smaller accommodation when appropriate and affordable alternative housing is supplied in the local area that is accessible to established social networks.

The primary housing market role that the Sunshine Coast Region plays is varied: the coastal urban areas attract retirees from Brisbane and interstate (mainly New South Wales) and younger adults accessing employment (generally within tourism and the service economy); new developments close to the coast (such as Pelican Waters and Peregian Springs) and established suburban areas (such as Buderim) tend to attract older families as well as empty-nesters; and townships within the hinterland predominantly attract families and retirees from the wider rural region. The urban hubs of Maroochydore and Caloundra, and the University of the Sunshine Coast in Sippy Downs attract young people from rural areas, regional Queensland and overseas to educational and employment opportunities, while the Sunshine Coast region as a whole loses young people to larger centres in Queensland such as Brisbane and interstate.

Between 2016 and 2026, migration assumptions are influenced by:

 The importance of the Sunshine Coast region as a destination for families and retirees. This is expected to continue into the future, with migration mostly comprised of parents with young children attracted to new greenfield development areas and empty nesters and retirees attracted to coastal centres and, to a lesser degree, the rural hinterland around centres such as Maleny.

 Substantial population gain over the forecast period owing to significant new housing opportunities across the Council area, especially in the growth areas of Caloundra South (Aura), Palmview (Harmony) and the Kawana development area. Additionally, the localities of Pelican Waters, Sippy Downs and Peregian Springs continue to grow. The redevelopment of the Maroochydore CBD (SunCentral) will encourage migration to the business centre of the Sunshine Coast.

 Strong attraction of young and established families (0-14 and 20-49 years) fuelled by the availability of new housing in greenfield areas.

 The traditional net loss due to migration of young adults (15-24 years), attracted by employment, education and housing opportunities elsewhere (but principally in Brisbane and interstate) is forecast to begin to reduce for the 20-24 year olds post 2016, with greater availability of housing choice and the growth in employment opportunity as SunCentral develops.

 Strong attraction of empty-nesters and retirees (50-69 years) to coastal areas and other areas offering lifestyle and retirement options.

 Attraction of older persons (aged 70+) to lifestyle options and aged-care support and services.

Forecast net migration by age group

Non-private dwellings

Residential non-private dwellings include aged care facilities as well as defence force facilities, hospitals, prisons, staff quarters and boarding houses. As a general rule, an increase in people aged 18 to 24 living in non-private dwellings indicates a growth in student accommodation, defence force facilities or prisons. Similarly an increase in people aged over 75 living in non-private dwellings indicates growth in aged care facilities.

Key findings

There were 4,817 people estimated to be living in non-private dwellings in the Sunshine Coast Council area in 2016. The number of persons in non-private dwellings in Sunshine Coast Council area is expected to increase to 6,830 persons in 2026.

Between 2016 and 2026, Nambour – Burnside & District is forecast to experience the greatest change, with a gain of 401 persons in non-private dwellings. This is due to an increase of persons in non-private dwellings aged 75 years and over, which is predominantly aged care.

About the forecasts

The Sunshine Coast Council area population and household forecasts are undertaken by .id, the population experts, on behalf of the Sunshine Coast Council area.

During the forecast modelling process, .id assesses what is driving population change in the area and forecasts how the age structure and household types will change as result.

Forecasts are only as good as the assumptions they are based on, and .id works closely with the council to ensure information about current and planned residential development activity is accurate. The forecasts are updated on a rolling cycle to take into account changes in the real world. All assumptions, as well as the results of the forecasts, are made available in this site.

The forecasts were last updated in December 2017. Forecasts are available for Sunshine Coast Council area and small areas for each year from 2016 to 2041. This report provides population and household forecasts from 2016 up to 2026. Data for time periods beyond 2026 are available on request from Council.

The forecasts are designed to provide community groups, Council, investors, business, students and the general public with the knowledge to make confident decisions about the future.

Whilst all due care has been taken to ensure the content of the website that is the source of this data is accurate and current, there may be errors or omissions in it and no legal responsibility is accepted for the information and opinions in this report.

Factors of population change

At the small area level, the key factors of population change are the age structure of the existing population, the housing markets attracted to and away from an area and their associated demographic characteristics (fertility patterns, household types etc.) and the supply of dwellings and mix of housing stock in the area.

Dwelling additions

The addition of dwellings is the major driver of population growth, providing opportunities for new households (such as young people leaving the family home and divorces) or households relocating from other areas.

Current age structure

The age structure of the local population impacts on Sunshine Coast Council area's household types and size, the likelihood of the local population having children and the rate of death, as well as the propensity for people to move. Age specific propensities for a population to have children or die are applied to each small area's base population. An older population will likely have fewer births and more deaths, while a younger population will have vice versa.

Birth rates

Birth rates are especially influential in determining the number of children in an area, with most inner urban areas having very low birth rates, compared to outer suburban or rural and regional areas. Birth rates have been changing, with a greater share of women bearing children at older ages or not at all. This can have a large impact on the future population profile.

76

Death rates

Death rates are influential in shaping the numbers of older people in an area's population. Death rates too have been changing with higher life expectancy at most ages, with men gaining on women's greater life chances.

Migration

Migration is one of the most important factors of population change. While births and deaths are relatively easy to predict due to reliable age specific behaviour, migration is volatile, often changing due to housing market preferences, economic opportunities and changing household circumstances. Migration patterns vary across Australia and change across time, but most moves tend to be short and incremental in nature. Regional areas have larger moves due to the distances between towns and cities, where people often move for economic reasons, mainly the availability of employment or education and training opportunities.

The most mobile age groups in the population are the young adults. They tend to move to attend educational institutions, seek work and express a change in lifestyle. It is for this reason that young people often move the greatest distances and sometimes move against pre-established patterns. Market research has shown that empty nesters are more likely to move to smaller accommodation if appropriate and affordable alternative housing is supplied in the local area that is accessible to established social networks.

77

Household and suburb life cycles

Household life cycles

The type of households that people live in and changing preferences over time affect the way in which a population changes. As people grow from children to adults and into old age, they change the type of households that they live in. The traditional path has been to start as a child in a family household, move into a group or lone person household as a youth, becoming a part of a couple relationship within 5-10 years. Rearing of children is followed by an ‘empty-nester’ period and ultimately being a lone person, as partners die.

Understanding the changes that people make at different ages in their life, and the different types of housing they are likely to inhabit at those life stages is an important factor in forecasting future population and household types. The life stage which the majority of households in an area are going through gives an insight into its location in the suburb life-cycle (see below), and the likely life-path of those households in the future.

78

Suburb life cycles

The dominant household types present in a suburb or town - where the majority of the population are positioned in the household life path - dictate in part the role and function of the area. This is shown by its place in the "suburb life cycle".

New areas are typically settled by young households (young couples and young families, perhaps some mature families). As the families grow and mature, household size increases. After initial rapid development, most households "age in place", with slowly shifting demand for services, facilities and dwelling types.

As households age further and children begin to leave home, the average household size decreases, resulting in more empty nester (two person) households, often still living in large family homes. Family breakups can also result in single parent families and lone person households. If a suburb can't attract young families back to the area, it slowly becomes populated by older couples whose children have left home and older lone persons whose partners have died, resulting in declining population for some time.

Alternatively, if a suburb is in a location close to economic drivers of change, it may be able to attract families to move back into the older dwellings in the area, increasing household size and population again. This will generally happen sooner, with less loss of services if the area has a diversity of housing options suiting a wide variety of household types. Empty nesters are likely to downsize into lower maintenance properties, freeing up larger format housing for families to move into, and continue the cycle again. The loop in the diagram represents the process of sustainability of an area, if it can attract families back into older housing in the area. Depending on the proximity of an area to work and education it may also attract young lone persons and group households. The attractiveness of an area to family groups, group and lone person households is shown in the migration assumptions section.

Generally, more diverse communities are more sustainable in the long term, as they are able to maintain a range of services and facilities useful to all age groups. Certain policy responses can influence the suburb life cycle in different directions.

Forecast modelling process

Approach

The diagram below describes the general approach used by .id in its population and household forecasts. An analysis of the current population and household structure often reveals the role and function of an area and the degree to which an area may be going through some form of demographic transition.

Demographic changes, such as birth, death and migration rates are applied to the base population. At the same time, scrutiny of urban development drivers is undertaken (residential development opportunities, vacancy rates etc.). The combination of varied assumptions about these inputs results in forecast population and households by type.

81

Modelling process

The modelling process used for producing the small-area forecasts is based on a 'bottom-up' approach, with all assumptions being derived from a local perspective. The components of the model are derived exclusively from housing and demographic assumptions. The drivers of the forecasts are predominantly based on levels of new residential development and demographic assumptions, such as in and out migration rates from the local areas. The diagram below describes the detail of the modelling process used by .id in its population and household forecasts.

82

The population forecasts are based on a combination of three statistical models. They include a cohort component model, a housing unit model and a household propensity model. Each of the models has a series of inputs, which when linked to the other models gives the forecast outputs. The models are further explained below. Cohort Component Model

The cohort component model is a standard demographic model used for population forecasts. It takes a base population by single year of age and sex and makes assumptions about future levels of births, deaths and migration, with the result being a forecast population by age and sex.

Each year the population ages by one year, with additions to population through in-migration and births. Births are derived by multiplying age specific fertility rates of women aged 15-49 by the female population in these age groups for all years during the forecast period. The population decreases are based on out-migration and deaths. Deaths are derived by multiplying age and sex specific mortality rates for all age groups for all years during the forecast period.

In and out migration is based on multiplying the population in each age group by a migration matrix. The base year population is derived from 2016 Census counts and then adjusted to an estimated resident population by small area. Each year through the forecast period, the population is run against age-specific birth, death and migration rates to create new population figures.

Housing Unit Model

The housing unit model is used to forecast future levels of residential development in areas and the resulting impact on the total population and the number of households. This model is critical in giving population forecasts credibility, especially in areas where there are residential development constraints and where historical migration patterns would be expected to change.

The housing unit model is based on forecasting a number of variables. These include total population living in private and non-private dwellings, the number of households and the number of dwellings. The share of housing stock that does not contain households is known as the vacancy rate. The population living in private dwellings divided by the number of households is known as the average household size.

These variables have changing relationships over time, as households undergo normal demographic processes, such as family formation and ageing. Levels of residential development, vacancy rates and average household size (see housing propensity model below) are used as the drivers of the model. Every year there is an assumption about the level of residential development activity, which adds to the stock of dwellings in an area. This stock of dwellings is multiplied by the vacancy rate, which gives the total number of vacant dwellings and the total number of occupied private dwellings (households).

Households are multiplied by the assumed average household size for the year to derive the new number of persons living in private dwellings. The average household size is derived from the household propensity model (see below).

83

Population in non-private dwellings is modelled separately. A non-private dwelling is a form of housing, which is communal in nature. Examples of non-private dwellings include nursing homes, student accommodation, boarding houses, nursing quarters, military barracks and prisons. In forecasting the number of persons in non-private dwellings, the population is analysed according to the different types of living arrangements. Decisions about future changes may be based on local knowledge through consultation with institutions or local government if there are a large number of people living in non-private dwellings.

Household Propensity Model

This model is used to integrate the cohort component and housing unit models to ensure consistency between the outputs of both models. The model works by assuming that the age structure of the population is an indicator of household size and type. These differences are assumed at the local area based on the household type and size from the 2016 Census.

The population is divided into household types based on five year age groups and sex. Each of these household types has an associated household size. From this relationship, all the household forming population (adults and any non-dependents) effectively represent a share of a household. Dependents in a household (children) represent no share of a household, although their departure frequently drives demand for housing in the region. Lone persons represent 1 or 100% of a household. Couples with dependents represent 50% of household. Couples without dependents represent almost 50% of a household (as they can include related adults). Lone parents represent 100% of a household. Group household members' and other household members' shares vary according to the region (20%-45%, 5 persons to 2.5 persons per household).

These relationships are extrapolated forward from 2016 with some adjustments, depending on the type of area. While for some areas, it is assumed that a greater share of the population will live in smaller households in the future, many areas will go against this trend, depending on their place within the life cycle of suburbs.

84

Notes on base data

Base population estimates

The population figures used in the forecasts for 2016 are based on estimated resident population from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. These figures are published at the Statistical Area 1 (SA1) level, which are then aggregated to the chosen small area or local government area, sometime splitting SA1s if necessary. These figures are subject to change or updating from time to time, most notably after Census release (usually one to two years after the Census is conducted).

Base household estimates

The household estimates used in the forecasts for 2016 were based on age and sex-specific population propensities by different household types. Estimated Resident Population by Statistical Area 1 was multiplied by household factors to give estimated ‘Resident Households’.

The multiplying factor varies depending on the household type (and the area), such as a factor of 1 for persons living in lone person households to 0.5 for an adult in couple families with dependent households. Children and other dependents, such as elderly parents, are not assumed to ‘form’ households.

Births and deaths

The number of births in Sunshine Coast Council area are derived by multiplying age specific fertility rates of women aged 15-49 by the female population in these age groups for all years during the forecast period.

Birth rates are especially influential in determining the number of children in an area, with most inner urban areas having relatively low birth rates, compared to outer suburban or rural and regional areas. Birth rates have been changing, with a greater share of women bearing children at older ages or not at all, with overall increases in fertility rates. This can have a large impact on the future population profile.

Death rates

The forecast number of deaths in Sunshine Coast Council area is a reflection of death rates assumed for small areas. For historical years, this will equal the number of deaths published by the ABS, where this information was available at the time of forecasting. These rates are based on historical estimates for Sunshine Coast Council area, which have been extrapolated into the future, assuming an increase in expectation of life in all age groups (except 85 years and over).

Death rates are influential in shaping the numbers of older people in an area's population. Death rates too have been changing, with higher life expectancy at most ages, with men's life expectancy increasing more than that of women.

85

Glossary

Age specific propensities (birth and death)

This relates to the modelling of births and deaths. At each year of age, there is a certain statistical likelihood of a person dying or giving birth. These age specific propensity rates are applied to the base and forecast population for each year of the forecast period.

Ageing in place

This refers to an existing resident population ageing in their current location, as distinct from other impacts on future population such as births, deaths and in and out migration.

Average annual percentage change

A calculation of the average change in total population for each individual year.

Average household size

The average number of persons resident in each occupied private dwelling. Calculated as the number of persons in occupied private dwellings divided by the number of occupied private dwellings. This excludes persons living in non-private dwellings, such as prisons, military bases, nursing homes etc.

'Bottom up' forecast

Population forecast based on assumptions made at the local area level. Local drivers of change such as land stocks and local area migration form the basis.

Broadhectare Land or Sites

Broadhectare land refers to undeveloped land zoned for residential development on the fringe of the established metropolitan area. These areas are generally used for rural purposes until residential subdivision takes place. This type of land is also referred to as ‘greenfield’.

Commencement

The construction of a new dwelling (or beginning of).

86

Dwelling

A habitable residential building.

Dwelling stock

The supply of dwellings (either occupied or unoccupied) in a given geographic area.

Empty nesters

Parents whose children have left the family home to establish new households elsewhere.

Estimated Resident Population (ERP)

This is the estimate of the population based on their usual residence. The ERP at the time of the Census is calculated as the sum of the enumerated (counted) population plus persons temporarily absent less persons who are non-permanent (visitor) residents. An undercount of population by small area at Census time is also accounted for. The ERP used in these forecasts is then backdated to June 30. The ERP for forecast years are based on adding to the estimated population the components of natural increase and net migration. Forecast period

In this report, the forecast period is from 2016 to 2041. Most data on the website has focused on the period from 2016 to 2041 plus 15.

Household

One or more persons living in a structural private dwelling.

In-centre development

Residential development based on increasing dwelling densities around suburb and town centres. Usually around existing transport nodes and service infrastructure, rather than developing previously undeveloped land on the urban fringe.

'Infill' development

Residential development, usually of a relatively small scale, on redevelopment sites in established urban areas. This can take place on land previously used for another urban purpose such as industry or schools or on

87

existing residential allotments where new dwellings are added. Also referred to as ‘intensification’ of existing areas.

Mature families

One and two parent families with older children, generally of secondary and tertiary school age.

Migration

The movement of people or households from one location to another.

Natural increase

The increase in population based on the births minus deaths, not including the impact of migration.

Net household additions

The overall increase in occupied dwellings, determined by the level of new dwelling construction that is permanently occupied, or conversion of non-permanently occupied dwellings to permanently occupied minus demolitions.

Non-private dwellings

These dwellings include persons resident in establishments such as prisons, student or nurses’ accommodation, nursing homes, boarding houses, military facilities, and hospitals.

Occupancy rate

The proportion of structural private dwellings that are occupied by a household.

Occupied Private Dwellings (OPD)

These are all Structural Private Dwellings (SPD’s) that are occupied by a household. Excluded are dwellings that were under construction, being demolished or where the house was temporarily vacant.

Private dwellings

Self-contained dwelling including houses (attached or detached), flats, townhouses etc. Retirement village units are also private dwellings as are houses or flats rented from the government.

88

Redevelopment sites

These are sites in already established areas not originally developed for residential uses, but identified for conversion to residential use. Examples include former school sites, quarries, derelict industrial land, former petrol stations and the like. Structural Private Dwellings (SPD)

This is the stock of houses, flats, and other dwelling types. The SPD is the usual base stock from which commencements are added and demolitions deducted.

'Top down' forecast

Population forecast based on assumptions made at the State and National level and allocated into smaller regions e.g. Local Government Areas, suburbs.

Vacancy rate

The proportion of structural private dwellings that are not occupied by a household.

Young families

One and two parent families with young children, generally of pre and primary school age.
