General Information

As of June 2012, there was an estimated resident population of 159,133. The City of Whitehorse has a lower proportion of pre-schoolers and higher proportion of people at post retirement age than Greater Melbourne. The City of Whitehorse is located 12 -22km East of Melbourne CBD. The major features of the city include the large technology precinct in the Tally Ho area, the Melbourne campus of Deakin University, Box Hill TAFE, Box Hill Hospital. The three major activity centres are Box Hill, Forest Hill Chase and the Nunawading mega mile. Nunawading also has several smaller neighbourhood shopping centres scattered around the municipality.

The areas attract a range of ages to the municipality, and although local government boundaries are often irrelevant to young people, they are hubs for recreational and educational activity for the city.

Key findings:

• Whitehorse has a lower proportion of pre-schoolers and a higher proportion of people at post retirement age than greater Melbourne.

• Box Hill TAFE and Deakin University invite a high proportion of 18 – 24 year olds into the municipality, in particular for Box Hill and Burwood.

• There is a large proportion of international students in the municipality, and it is likely they are from predominantly Asian backgrounds.

• Most children aged 0 - 4 (make up 5.8% of the population, at 8,829 people) are found in Mitcham, followed by Nunawading and Blackburn.

• Most children aged 5 – 11 (which make up 8.1% of the population, at 12,255) are found in Mitcham, closely followed by Blackburn and Nunawading.

• Those aged 12 – 17 (which make up 6.8% of the population, at 10,256) are found in Vermont South, Blackburn and Mitcham.

• The indigenous population of 314 (0.22%) of the population. 0 – 4 year olds make up 11%, 5 – 14 years make up 17% and 15 – 24 make up the 17% of that indigenous population group.

Forecasts

By 2031 it is expected that the population as a whole will increase, however this is likely to occur in the older age groups rather than the younger groups. The age group which is forecast to have the largest proportional increase (relative to its population size) by 2021 is 85 year olds and over, who are forecast to increase by 46.5% to 5,001 persons.

As described above, different areas within the City of Whitehorse have different functions based on both area of development and proximity to education and employment opportunities. Box Hill, Box Hill North, Box Hill South, Burwood, and to a lesser extent, Nunawading and Mitcham attract large numbers of young adults based on the location of tertiary education institutions and access to employment. Mont Albert, Mont Albert North and Surrey Hills are attractive areas for mature families, while Vermont, Vermont South and Burwood East are expected to experience a net migration loss in the early part of the forecast period as children leave home to establish new households elsewhere. The variety of function and role of the small areas in the City of Whitehorse means that population outcomes differ significantly across the LGA.

• The 20 – 24 year olds as percentage of the population (8.4% to 7%) will drop the most (by

1,929 persons over the next 20 years); again this is likely due to the higher percentage of older population groups.

• The largest increase is forecast to be in Group households, which will increase by 599 households, comprising 4.5% of all households, compared to 3.9% in 2006.

Migration in and out of the City

Migration, or residential mobility, together with births and deaths are significant components of population change. The movement of people into, and out of an area directly influences the characteristics of the population and the demand for services and facilities. Migration is the most volatile component of population change and can be affected by changing housing and economic opportunities such as housing affordability issues or the mining boom.

There are three main types of migration in Australia, overseas migration, between-state migration, and within-state migration. By far the most common form of migration is within-state, and largely involves moves between neighbouring and existing urban areas where moves are often short.

The City of Whitehorse has experienced a strong growth in population born from China. Its population almost doubled between 2006 and 2011. While most young people in Whitehorse were born in Australia; China and India are the most common places of birth for those born outside of Australia and in those aged under 24, they tend to be in the ages between 15 and 24. This trend generally reflects the high numbers of international students attending tertiary institutions in the municipality.

Most people who moved into the municipality by far, came from overseas at 13, 581 persons. Next they came from Boroondara, outside of Victoria, Monash and Manningham. Most people who moved out of the municipality moved to Maroondah, Boroondara, Knox, Manningham and Monash. In terms of young people, they represent the highest mobility across the age groups as can be seen in figure 9. The total numbers can be seen in figure 10.

When comparing Whitehorse to the neighbouring municipalities, the difference in relation migration in and out of the city is quite obvious. Whilst the City of Whitehorse has many 20 to 24 year olds coming to the area, Monash showed a 60% more migration in this age group. For those aged 0 to 14 year olds, Whitehorse had 25% less net migration than Boroondara. Boroondara may be receiving a lot of youths due to their educational facilities in the area, whilst Monash also receives a lot of tertiary students due to their tertiary institution, Monash being in that municipality. The other age groups seem to maintain relatively stable in the different age groups. See figure 11.

Housing

Mortgage repayments are directly related to house prices in the City of Whitehorse, length of occupancy and the level of equity of home owners. When viewed with Household Income data it may also indicate the level of housing stress households in the community are under. Despite less than the Greater Melbourne average 31% - 35% (17,995) of those living in Whitehorse have mortgages. 28% of those households with a mortgage, were making high loan repayments of $2,600 or more per month. See figure 12.

Employment

In the 2011 census, the size of the City of Whitehorse’s labour force was 75,308, of which 27,124 were employed part-time and 42,918 were full time workers. Of the 61,432 people who work in the City of Whitehorse, 17,807 or 29% also live in the area. Understanding where workers reside assists in planning and advocacy for roads and public transport provision. This can be useful in relation to families, as it helps understand how far residents commute to work, can also help to analyse whether people spend much time parents may spend commuting or away from home before and after school hours.

The labour force participation rate refers to the proportion of the population over 15 years of age that are either employed or actively looking for work. In Whitehorse, 60% of residents identified as being in the workforce, which is less than for Greater Melbourne at 63%. It is likely this is linked with the age structure of the municipality, which includes a larger population aged 60 and over. Analysis of the employment status (as a percentage of the labour force) in the City of Whitehorse in 2011

Municipal Early Years and Youth Plan Demographics - 2014-2018 Pg. 9

compared to Greater Melbourne shows that there was a similar proportion in employment, as well as a similar proportion unemployed. See figure 13 for the percentages.

Industries

Industries can demonstrate the workforce capacity and economies which will enhance and support growth in the municipality as well as earning potential. The most popular industry sectors for the resident population in Whitehorse were in health care and social assistance, professional, scientific and technical services and retail trade. As with the rest of the Melbourne metropolitan area, the largest change in industry of employment has been in manufacturing. This has seen almost a 2% decrease from 2006 levels at 9.6% to 8%. All other industries have increased, in particular this has been seen in education and training, professional and technical services and health care and social assistance. See figure 15 for breakdown.

The City of Whitehorse SEIFA Index of Disadvantage measures the relative level of socio­economicdisadvantage based on a range of Census characteristics. It is a good place to start to get a general view ofthe relative level of disadvantage in one area compared to others and is used to advocate for an area basedon its level of disadvantage.

The index is derived from attributes that reflect disadvantage such as low income, low educational attainment,high unemployment, and jobs in relatively unskilled occupations. When targeting services to disadvantagedcommunities, it is important to also look at these underlying characteristics as they can differ markedly betweenareas with similar SEIFA scores and shed light on the type of disadvantage being experienced.

A higher score on the index means a lower level of disadvantage. A lower score on the index means a higherlevel of disadvantage.
