The primary housing market role that the City of Brimbank played during this period was to provide home owning opportunities for families and prospective families within the western suburbs of Melbourne. The importance of the City of Brimbank within the western suburban housing market of Melbourne has continued. There is significant pressure for residential expansion within Brimbank from both existing residents and from migrants, most notably from overseas, as well as areas to the east (in particular the Cities of Maribyrnong and Moonee Valley). It is assumed that a number of these patterns will continue into the future, notably flows into the City of Brimbank from the east and from overseas, as well as loss of population to areas within Melton Shire (Caroline Springs, Taylors Hill etc.). As residential opportunities are exhausted in Sydenham-Hillside and Delahey, newer development fronts in the southern areas of Brimbank, such as at Cairnlea, Deer Park, Derrimut and Sunshine North will increase in importance. The attraction of the area is a reflection on the significant amount of residential housing opportunities and the affordability of the area, relative to areas closer to central Melbourne. Local demand is relatively strong as the age structure of the City is conducive to producing large number of new households. This is due to the fact that there are large numbers of older children (late teens, twenties and even thirties) expected to leave home over the coming years. With the varied development phases and the overall size of the City, different areas within Brimbank have developed different roles within the housing market. Areas such as Keilor and Taylors Lakes are attractive to mature families looking to upgrade to their second and third home. Albion, Sunshine and St Albans have a significant component of rental housing, which attracts a large share of overseas migrants, as well as a more youth-oriented market, seeking affordable housing opportunities. Delahey and Sydenham-Hillside are just completing their rapid suburban growth cycles, while other areas such as Albanvale, Kings Park and Keilor Park were developed rapidly in previous decades. The variety of function and role of the City of Brimbank's suburbs means that population outcomes differ significantly across the municipality. There are also significant differences in the supply of residential property within the City which will also have a major influence in structuring different population and household futures within the City over the next five to ten years. Significant new 'greenfield' opportunities have been identified in Derrimut, Deer Park, Sunshine West and Sunshine North while there are some more moderate opportunities in Delahey and Taylors Lakes. Other areas such as St Albans (West), St Albans (East), Sunshine and Taylors Lakes are expected to have some growth in dwellings, but based predominantly on infill of vacant lots and more intense use of land. The Sunshine, St Albans and Sydenham town centres are also expected to experience in-centre residential development over the forecast period.

Page 5 of 32 Population summary This table summarises the total population for City of Brimbank and each of its small areas. This enables you 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. Continue to the forecast results section to see detailed forecasts of dwellings, age structure and household types for each of the small areas. Please note that population numbers in forecast.id for the 2011 base year are derived on 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.

Page 6 of 32 Population, households and dwellings This summary shows the results of the forecasts for population, households and dwellings in City of Brimbank. The period 2011 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.
