Focus on Local Government

Case Study - City of Unley Section 30 review


One of the problems in conducting a Section 30 review in older, established areas is the need to recognise and preserve the areas that define the character of the city, while still allowing for development of an appropriate type to allow the city to grow and increase in diversity.

The City of Unley recently used their .id community profile to   assist in conducting their Section 30 review. Read more... 

 

 
Census

Census Countdown

Are you ready for the Census?


The 2011 Census of Population and housing will be held on the night of the 9th August, 2011.

For this census, the geographical basis for collection has changed from the old CD (collector district) geographies to the new SA1 (Statistical Area 1) geography, which is made up from smaller mesh blocks (MB's).  

 

.id will manage the transition to the new geography for our customers to ensure comparability between census data periods  is maintained.  Read more...

Will the kids leave home

A word from our researchers

Will the kids ever leave home?


One of the funny things about doing population forecasting is the response you get from  clients about certain issues. One such issue that cuts close to the bone is this vexed issue of when will the children leave home? Read more...

 

 

Tips and Tricks

 Should I use Enumerated or Usual Residence data?


Enumerated or Usual Resident Population

One of the most common questions we are asked about Census data is whether it's best to use Enumerated or Usual Residence data when making statements about populations. Our Census product, profile.id, gives users the option to use either, with both options prominently displayed with radio buttons to select at the top of each table. But which should you use?

Fishermans Bend - new suburb raises the transport question


Victoria's Baillieu Government announced its 'inner-city revolution' today, with the go-ahead for the development of 200 hectares of land around Fishermans Bend, near the West Gate Bridge in Melbourne - as announced in The Age - Baillieu plans inner-city housing revolution.
