WAGGA WAGGA 100,000 POPULATION BY YEAR 2038 SEMINAR
Committee 4 Wagga together with Wagga Wagga City Council and HIA Wagga Branch formed a partnership to host the 100,000 Population by 2038 Seminar in September 2019. In attendance were council representatives, Member for Wagga Wagga Dr Joe McGirr, Member for Riverina & Deputy Prime Minister, Michael McCormack, Mayor Greg Conkey, C4W & HIA Members, prominent business & community leaders as well as a strong representation from State & Federal Government agencies such as the Regional NSW Development Corporation, Department of Premier & Cabinet, Transport for NSW, Infrastructure NSW, Industry NSW, ARTC Kapooka, the Home Affairs Dept, along with Charles Sturt University, TAFE, Riverina Water, Regional Development Australia – Riverina, the NSW Business Chamber, Australian Rail Track Corporation and Rex Airlines plus the neighbouring Shire Councils of Junee & Coolamon.
Wagga Wagga 100,000 had its origins in July 2018 when the Deputy Premier, John Barilaro, released the State Governments 20 Year Economic Vision for Regional NSW. Amongst other expectations and directions for regional NSW, this vision identified Wagga Wagga as a Growth Centre with a population forecast of 100,000 people by 2038.
This growth target requires an acceleration of our current & historical population growth rate, bringing with it an abundance of challenges and opportunities for the State Government and the Wagga Wagga City Council, but also to the business community, community support services and the community at large.
Wagga Wagga LAND MONITOR REPORT

It is a significant document for strategic planning in the city of Wagga Wagga. The land monitor report’s purpose is to provide information to Wagga Wagga City Council about the current land releases in the LGA including available and projected land for housing development.
