Demographic Profiling

Canberra’s demographic profile shows an over representation of 20-35 year olds, which is attributable to interstate migration of public servants and students for both employment in the government sector and to take advantage of Canberra’s leading higher education system. This is a demographic that demands affordable housing and ease of accessibility to the inner city and activity centres. It has therefore been an imperative to connect the education precincts within the network to further drive growth of the sector. A range of services and architectural types have been designed to come together in a range of flexible combinations at different nodes depending on the needs and identity of the individual area. These include the light rail, bus and cycle services, and a range of residential, commercial, entertainment and community architectural types.
