In 2006 there are around 1,970 households (4,460 residents) in the Local Al
which is forecast to increase to around 2,350 households (5,250 residents) by
2016 — an increase of 376 households and 790 residents for the ten-year

The surrounding area will experience growth of around 4,590 residents —
major growth is attributed to the development of the Peregian Springs
masterplanned community which will have a neighbourhood centre under
