LEARN MORE ABOUT .idThe history of urban development within the City reflects the variability and many areas have had inconsistent patterns of growth and change. This relates to a number of factors, most notably competing land uses and the changing value of economic activities. The demand for land for non-residential purposes has been strong in a number of areas for purposes such as horticulture, quarrying, waste disposal, environmental heritage, as well as manufacturing, leisure and transport needs, notably the Moorabbin Airport. Similarly, the rise and fall of industries and land uses has provided a new development possibilities. These influences are likely to continue into the future and many of the sites that have been identified for residential development are as a result of changing land uses (Gasworks in Highett, Epsom Racecourse in Mordialloc etc.)
Note: The migration flows depicted above are historical and do not represent future or forecast migration flows or subsequent council boundary changes. The arrows represent migration flows to the area as a whole and do not indicate an origin or destination for any specific localities within the area. Overseas flow shows overseas arrivals based on answers to the census question "where did the person usually live 5-years ago" and .id estimates of international out-migration.
*Please note, the 2021 Census was undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic, at a time where border restrictions had largely halted overseas in-migration for the 15 months prior. 2016-2021 net overseas migration levels reflect this and therefore should not necessarily be considered indicative of longer-term trends.
