According to the 2011 ABS Census, a total of 128,989 population resided in the area, of which 15.1% aged under 15 years old and 13.1% aged 65 years or above. Of the total of 30,540 families in the area, 11,046 families (36.2%) have children under 15 of age.
In addition, there is substantial number of population who is born overseas, given only 58.4% born in Australia, and hence, it is not surprising that 32.7% of the population speaks other languages than English at home. Of the population who speaks other languages, Chinese languages (which includes Cantonese, Mandarin etc.) obtains the largest group of 11,290 (29.1%), followed by Greek 4,948 (12.8%) and Southeast Asian Austronesian Languages (including Filipino, Indonesian and Tagalog etc.) 3,547 (9.2%).

This is an excellent summary of the Randwick government area. The map looks good and you have included a lot of important information which appears to be well organised. Is Randwick Council amalgamating with any other councils? I know that there has been a lot of drama and controversy on the Northern Beaches as a result of forced local government mergers.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tim. Yes, Randwick is going to amalgamate with Waverley Council. I've heard that there are problems with the names and administrative matters in the amalgamation process. But the amalgamation between Randwick and Waverley Council is going to take place soon.
