Population in 1991: 12,236

Land use in the CBD and peripheral areas continues to change as population, employment and services grow. CBD regeneration is encouraged to provide housing and recreational uses, therefore housing land use is restricted to infill area and small agricultural lots surrounded by employment land. The north-east employment area expanded to the north-west into agricultural land following the northern link road, Marely Road
