The share of the Australian population connected to independent wastewater treatment was 7.45% in 2023. The forecasted figures show a gradual increase, reaching 7.68% by 2028. Year-on-year percentage variations indicate an incremental rise, with slight increases from 2024 to 2028. Specifically, the changes from 2023 to 2024 stand at approximately 0.67%, from 2024 to 2025 at 0.53%, from 2025 to 2026 at 0.66%, from 2026 to 2027 at 0.66%, and from 2027 to 2028 at 0.52%.
