Strong growth in older age groups in most Council Areas

Between 2011 and 2031, ALL ‘growth’ in 56 of NZ’s 67 Territorial Authorities (84 percent) projected to be at 65+ years; all other age groups (combined 0-64 yrs) projected to decline

• c.23 of these TAs likely to experience overall decline
• c.12 likely to experience both net migration loss and natural decline

Of the remaining 11 TAs:

• 95+% of growth at 65+ (Christchurch; Whangarei)
• 60-63% growth at 65+ (Waikato; Palmerston Nth; Waimakariri)
• 44-46% growth at 65+ (Wellington; Selwyn; Tauranga)
• 36-37% growth at 65+ (Auckland; Hamilton; Queenstown)

Sum Up

Its time to plan longer ahead than recently Continuing relatively high growth is likely Not just ‘where’ but amenity and community important But marked change in population/household structure will impact business in many ways Strong recent business growth but much more needed to secure vitality and satisfaction Some real opportunities and risks Seeking to engage with business through DDS process
