I thank the member for some notice of this question. This information has been provided to me by the Minister for Planning — (1)–(2) The Department of Planning is currently consulting with all local governments in Western Australia to examine the forecast assumptions on births, deaths and migration. The Department of Planning will then finalise new trend-based resident population forecasts based on these assumptions to supersede the November 2005 projections published in “Western Australia Tomorrow” by the Western Australian Planning Commission. The Western Australian Planning Commission will consider the final population forecast at its September meeting for publication in October 2011 for use by all government agencies in planning the strategic delivery of their services to the future Western Australian community. Subsequent to the publication of these new local government forecasts, the Department of Planning will commence work on new small area population projections. These are specifically generated as input into a land use and transport model for the purpose of assessing the efficiency of planning policy and infrastructure investment plans. These small area projections fit for the purpose of the modelling may see a public release at a suburban level.
