The Indigenous population has a strong historical association with the area around the Hawkesbury River and there are a number of key sites of heritage value relating to this association which, it is proposed, will be conserved and appropriately interpreted as part of the development • The area has a history of relative social and economic disadvantage when compared to the wider Hawkesbury LGA, in particular disadvantage related to education, occupation and economic resources • The population of the local area is ageing, in line with an ageing Australia • The area also has a history of an itinerant or transient population. The association of the area with defence homes, and rental properties, has resulted in the demographic character of the area varying significantly over time. However, it is noted that this trend is beginning to change with a more stable population in the area • The area has also been traditionally characterised by a largely rural or agricultural community, which is in transition with population and technological changes and metropolitan growth. 16 DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS URBIS APPENDIX_O_COMMUNITY_NEEDS_ASSESSMENT
4 Population Forecasting 4.1 POPULATION PROJECTIONS HAWKESBURY LGA Population projections for the Hawkesbury LGA are based on data obtained from the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure‟s Population Projections 2006 – 2036. These projections are based on findings from the 2006 Census and the latest data on fertility, mortality and migration. They are based on the final estimated resident population figures for the 2006 Census, which includes an estimate of the people who may have been missed, or double counted, during the Census count. Therefore population figures for 2006 differ from those presented in Section 3.2 above. Table 4 below presents population projections and age breakdown for the population of Hawkesbury LGA.
