Representation Summary:
It is stated here that the population projections are "based on the...continued movement of people
into the district from the major cities of the region to the District." Please note that one of the main
aims of the Regional Spatial Strategy is to discourage people from moving from the major urban
areas out into the rest of the Region. It is also likely that in the future as fuel prices rise, it will
become less desirable for people to commute long distances.
