Dunedin is growing.
Dunedin’s population is expected to grow by 290 people per year between 2018 and 2028. Much of the growth
will be in visitors to the city. The number of visitors on a ‘peak’ or busiest day is expected to be 30,800 by 2028.
Residents Visitors Total peak day

2048 130,725 32,285 163,010
