3.3 Projected future population<br />
Population forecasts prepared for the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Greater</strong> Geelong by ID Consultants<br />
suggest that population will marginally rise across the Corio and Norlane area over the<br />
next twenty years (25,023 to 25,959; +0.2 annually). However, despite the projected<br />
increase, the population is not expected to attain population numbers that existed in<br />
1991 (26, 929 persons).<br />
Population growth forecast for Corio and Norlane is within a context <strong>of</strong> strong growth<br />
projected for the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Greater</strong> Geelong which is projected to grow by 64,000 people<br />
between 2006 and 2026.<br />
