Additional factors influencing growth include the availability of developable land in the region as well as sufficient water capacity and expanded sewer infrastructure. Demographic projections assume the continued in-migration of young families to the area as well as significant in-migration of seniors to all electoral areas. Declines in fertility are expected to continue as will overall declines in mortality, which will lead to a steady growth rate between now and 2032 and on to 2050.
Overall population growth in the electoral areas is expected to increase to 1.16% annually between 2021 and 2027, which is an increase over the 1.06% growth rate experienced between 2016 and 2021. Between 2027 and 2032 population growth should slow to approximately 1.04% annualized. Given the structural and demographic trends outlined above, we expected an annual population growth rate of approximately 1.15% between 2021 and 2050.
Dwelling growth will mirror population growth, though at a slightly slower rate than population growth (reflecting increased occupancy of owner-occupied dwellings) with dwelling growth increasing from 0.88% annually between 2016 and 2021 to 1.08% between 2021 and 2027. Between 2027 and 2032 dwelling growth should slow to approximately 0.97% annualized. Overall dwelling stock in the region will increase at a rate of 1.04% annually between 2021 and 2050.
