Australia: KPMG’s Population Growth Report 2007; Melbourne set to become largest city

Australia: KPMG’s Population Growth Report 2007 & Melbourne set to become largest city

The great Aussie dream of owning a big house in the suburbs is looking shaky as Generations X and Y as well as empty-nest baby boomers take to city living in increasing numbers, according to KPMG’s Population Growth Report 2007.

For the first time in the report’s 18-year history the number of people moving downtown is rivalling the number shifting to leading growth corridors in the suburbs.

“There is no greater measure of how Australian values have shifted in a single generation than in the numbers that track the rise of downtown living,” said the report’s author, Bernard Salt, a partner in KPMG’s Advisory practice.

“We are still enamoured with the beach and the seachange shift continues to grow strongly as evidenced by the Gold Coast’s relentless population boom, but the central core of our largest cities is emerging as a growth area that now competes with the outer suburbs and with parts of the beach as the preferred destination for Australians on the move.”

“In the funkiest, hippest and most central parts of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane the number of new residents moving in each year now tops 7,000, 6,800 and 6,300 respectively and exceeds the numbers added to each city’s fastest growing suburbs.”

You can access a complete summary of the report by contacting the people listed at the bottom of the summary.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
