Population<br />
<strong>Cardinia</strong> <strong>Shire</strong> is one of the fastest growing local<br />
government areas in Victoria.<br />
• An average of six new households move into <strong>Cardinia</strong><br />
<strong>Shire</strong> every day.<br />
• As of 20<strong>18</strong>, <strong>Cardinia</strong> <strong>Shire</strong>’s estimated population<br />
is 109,043.<br />
• The shire’s population is expected to increase by<br />
approximately 56,000 over the next 10 years (2028)<br />
and 86,600 over the next 20 years (2038), to a total<br />
of approximately 195,700.<br />
• The median age of residents is 35, which is two years<br />
younger than Greater Melbourne (38).<br />
• The largest percentage of the population are ‘parents<br />
and homebuilders’ aged 35–49 (21%), followed by<br />
young people aged 12–24 (17%) and our ‘young<br />
workforce’ aged 25—34 (14.6%).<br />
• Growth areas within <strong>Cardinia</strong> <strong>Shire</strong> have a much<br />
higher proportion of young children aged 14 years and<br />
under compared with Greater Melbourne.<br />
The Victorian Government has nominated the Casey–<br />
<strong>Cardinia</strong> region as one of five regions around the fringe<br />
of metropolitan Melbourne where new housing and<br />
population growth is to be concentrated. As a result, rapid<br />
population growth will happen for the next 20 years within<br />
the shire’s designated growth area.<br />
