The Southern Downs Regional Council population and household forecasts are undertaken by .id, informed decisions, on behalf of the Southern Downs Regional Council.
During the forecast modelling process, .id assesses what is driving population change in the area and forecasts how the age structure will change as a result.
Forecasts are only as good as the assumptions they are based on, and.id works closely with the council to ensure they have detailed information about current and planned residential development activity. 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 on their website.
The forecasts are designed to provide community groups, Council, investors, business, students and the general public with knowledge to make confident decisions about the future.
While all due care has been taken to ensure the content of their website is accurate and current, there may be errors or omissions in it and no legal responsibility is accepted for the information and opinions provided. In addition, as the website is based on historic information, which is subject to revision, .id does not guarantee its currency.
