What's in the pipeline for Australian utilities?

We're working with national and regional service providers to help them understand how the demographic impacts of COVID-19 affect their mid-term infrastructure planning.

The demand story

Understanding the relationships between demographic change, household formation and residential development allows utilities to make informed decisions when planning network infrastructure and upgrades to services.

 

Where we fit in

We help Australian utilities make informed decisions about the timing and scale of infrastructure investment and upgrades. Our trusted forecasts combined with spatial analysis and a comprehensive view of future development reduces investment risk and time-consuming in-house analysis.

Forecasts that fit your catchment

Our population and dwelling forecasts are created at micro-geographies that combine to build custom forecast areas, so you can analyse the future population and dwellings for your catchment or service area.

Covid-adjusted demand modelling

Our responsive forecasting technology incorporates the latest data so you can understand how, when and where the demographic shifts of 2020 will impact residential development and demand for services.

Comprehensive development insights

You're constantly planning. We're constantly reviewing. Our detailed knowledge of local planning policies and development activity and tops-down view of population and dwelling demand allows us to provide an independent assessment of development timing to inform infrastructure planning.

Why single site analysis misses the big picture →

A comprehensive view of future development

Modelling future development activity in-house is time-consuming and unlikely to account for the broader demand drivers that determine if and when a planned site is ultimately built.

Our Universal Development Layer (UDL) gives a comprehensive view of the location and timing of future development sites.

A key input to our population forecasting work, the UDL is also available as a GIS layer for in-house planning models.

Our forecasting approach

Our population and dwelling forecasts are trusted to set electoral boundaries, plan infrastructure for national utilities, ensure our emergency services are adequately resourced and locate schools for tomorrow's children.

Combining demographic rigour with modelling that can respond to significant new information, we're proud to provide reliable, up-to-date insights for the organisations who plan our communities.
