Employment and population scenario modelling: mass rapid transit for Perth & Peel @ 3.5 Million and Beyond

The Economic Development Strategy’s employment and population forecasts for 2050, converted to STEM zones (provided to the team by the Department of Planning),were re-aggregated to a 68 zone system for the purposes of this research project and used as the basis for the gravity modelling (see Appendix A for the concordance between STEM zones and the 68 zone system). Parameters for the spatial distribution of jobs and appropriate gravity model coefficients were confirmed for the 2050 five alternative job distribution scenarios including the 2050 baseline scenario, and OD pairs developed based upon the Perth and Peel @ 3.5M household distribution using the same techniques as those applied within the Urban Economic Assessment Part II work.
