4.4 Yields and Projections

• In 2016, there were approximately 1,750 dwellings within the Rouse Hill Strategic Centre accommodating an existing population of approximately 3,500 people (based on an average occupancy rate of 2 people per household). Under this Plan, it is anticipated that there is growth potential for approximately 4,490 dwellings by 2041 (with approximately 2,350 additional dwellings by 2036 and approximately 2,740 additional dwellings by 2041). Residential yields are based upon an uptake rate of 100% by 2041.

• In 2016, there were approximately 3,730 jobs within the Rouse Hill Strategic Centre. Under this Plan, the Rouse Hill Strategic Centre is expected to accommodate approximately 12,580 jobs by 2041 (with approximately 6,510 additional jobs by 2036 and approximately 8,850 additional jobs by 2041) (depending on market factors). These assumptions are based upon uptake rates varying between 0%-100% by 2036 and 0%-100% by 2041.

• Not all properties will be subject to redevelopment at the same time and uptake rates have been applied to each development type within each identified development area. The uptake rates which have been applied depend on the density being proposed and the extent of development, which is likely to occur, having regard to opportunities and constraints affecting the land. Higher uptake rates are applied where higher densities are envisaged. However, in locations that are subject to development constraints, a lower uptake rate has been applied. Longer term investigation sites have also been given lower uptake rates given they are unlikely to be feasible in the short to medium term and may be contingent on the market solving certain issues or delivering certain outcomes.
