Using demography (and other
planning information) to build an
evidence base
• Using planning information for decision making
• The role of demography in NSW government
• Recent activity and change
• Looking ahead

Strategic planning
• Strategic planning tells the story about a place — where it has come from, what it is like now, the vision for an area and what will need to change over time to achieve that vision.

Evidence based strategic planning
‘The new planning system will create a major shift towards
evidence based strategic planning in the preparation
of plans, community and stakeholder engagement and
decision making. The transformation to upfront planning
is the key tool for better facilitating the delivery of housing
and jobs in the right locations, while protecting and
managing the environment and people’s way of life.’

Using planning information to make
decisions about planning
• Planning falls victim to fads
• ‘Strategic planning’ is a constant
• Using information (data, analysis, insights) about planning makes basic sense
• Demography
• Land development (residential, commercial, industrial, major projects)
• Economics

Centre for Demography,
Economics & Research
• Established in late 2013
• Four streams; demography, economics, research & policy
• Created new positions including a new Executive Director and moved existing resources
• Change but survival, policy function moved
• Building the evidence base remains integral

Role of demography
• Integral contributor to ‘building the evidence base’
• Established methodology and approach
• Basic set of ‘products’• Projections – population, household and dwelling
• Reporting and analysis of current trends
• Provision of local information
• Support for preparation of plans
• Social research program
• A known entity and brand

Demography – vital
and social statistics
‘the study of statistics such as births, deaths, income or incidence of disease, which illustrate the changing structure of human populations’

Demography – for planning
• How many of us are there? • how fast have we been growing, how fast will we grow?
• Characteristics • age, sex, income, education etc
• Where do we live? • distribution now and in the future, cities, towns, rural
• How do we live together?• families, alone, with friends, is this changing?

• Prepare projections • Communicate results
• Assist people to understand results and identify implications
• Monitor trends, review and update data

Future trends summary
• A continuation of many of the trends of the past• Drivers of population change remain • Scale of change may vary• Age structure very important
• Distribution of the population will change• Increasing centralisation• Cities and towns in regional areas to grow• In many rural areas, continuing slow decline
• How people live together will change• Influence of age structure, economics, cultural change
![Page 18: Making people count in strategic planning](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/589e6c671a28ab1a548b6859/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

NSW is always growing - don’t
we already know this?
• The devil is in the detail• the level of growth (how big will we get?)• The pace of growth (what is the pressure next 5yrs?)• The location of growth (inner city, outer suburbs, regional
centres?)• The type of growth (young families, older couples, young
and old living alone, high/low income, characteristics)
• Same same, but different• Changing age structures (different demands?)• Changing household structures (different demands?)• Changing societal trends (fewer children, downsizing, inner
city lifestyles – different demands)

Implications
• Widespread implications across all sectors of government and community
• Direct impacts• Planning strategies (eg. from Sydney Metro to neighbourhood planning)• Increase in number of clients, increase in demand for housing, transport,
education and health • Changing mix of clients will lead to changing demand eg. Mix of housing
types• Hyper-ageing in some regional areas will result in high demand for age-
related services combined with few people to work in key jobs
• Indirect impacts• Bigger market, potential for stronger economy, larger workforce• Pressure on the environment, demand for food and consumer goods• Social impacts of continuing growth, funding for expanded services
especially aged care, maintaining viable communities

More change ahead – so get ready
• Expected changes• Economic conditions• Policy changes• New data
• New projections• changes to the pace, level and location of growth
• Build in• Reviews (not just monitoring)• Strategic emphasis (longer term) - thresholds• Emphasise flexibility
