Canberra will need another 330 hectares of industrial land by 2050 to keep up with its growing population, a report by the Property Council of Australia found.

ABS projections have Canberra's 2021 population of 447,000 increasing by more than 110,000 by the year 2036, meaning at least 70 hectares of additional industrial land would be required by 2031 to maintain per-capita industrial land supply at current levels of at least two hectares per 1000 people.
