M A I N F E A T U R E S..............................................................POPULATION INCREASE

Australia's estimated resident population at June 2001 was 19.5 million people. This

represents an increase of 1.2 million people (6.4%) since June 1996, with an average

annual growth rate of 1.3%. This increase was larger and occurred at a higher rate

than the corresponding change in population between 1991 and 1996, when Australia

gained one million people (5.9%) at an average rate of 1.2% per year.

All states and territories experienced population growth between 1996 and 2001

except Tasmania. The populations of all the states and territories (including

Tasmania) grew between 1991 and 1996.

In the five years to June 2001, as in the previous five year period, the largest

population increases occurred in the three largest states. New South Wales

experienced the greatest gain in population (404,600 people), followed by

Queensland (296,400) and Victoria (262,500). In the previous five year period the

largest gain in population was recorded in Queensland (377,700).

The fastest population growth in the five years to June 2001 was recorded in the

Northern Territory (1.9% per year on average). In the five year period to June 1996,

Queensland experienced the fastest population growth (at an average annual rate of

2.4%).

M A I N F E A T U R E S continued..............................................................POPULATION INCREASE continued

Almost two-thirds (65%) of Australia's 624 LGAs gained population in the five years to

June 2001, compared to 55% in the five years to June 1996.

Population decline was experienced by 217 (35%) LGAs between 1996 and 2001,

compared to 277 (45%) between 1991 and 1996.

Of the 624 LGAs in Australia, sixty (10%) experienced relatively little population

change between June 1996 and June 2001 (less than 1% increase or decrease over the

five year period).

CAPITAL CITY GROWTH

At June 2001, capital city SDs were home to nearly two-thirds (64%) of Australia's

population, as in 1991 and 1996. Growth in the combined capital city SDs occurred at

an average annual rate of 1.2% in the five years to June 1996, increasing slightly to

1.3% per year between 1996 and 2001.

In the five years to June 2001, as in the five years to June 1996, the largest growth

occurred in Sydney (273,600). Melbourne replaced Brisbane as the city with the

second largest increase, gaining 205,500 people between 1996 and 2001. Both Sydney

and Melbourne grew at faster rates than their respective state balances (those areas

excluding the capital city SDs) over this period.

In the decade to June 2001, Darwin and Brisbane were the fastest-growing capital

cities. Between 1996 and 2001 Darwin experienced the fastest growth at an average

annual rate of 2.5%, while Brisbane grew at an average rate of 1.7% per year. In

contrast, Brisbane's growth of 2.3% per year between 1991 and 1996 was faster than

Darwin's growth (2.1% per year) over the same period.

Outer suburban growth

Much of Australia's growth occurred in the outer LGAs of capital city SDs. In Sydney

SD, the LGAs of Baulkham Hills (A) and Camden (A) experienced large growth, while

the largest growth within Melbourne SD occurred in the fringe LGAs of Casey (C),

Hume (C) and Mornington Peninsula (S).

Outer suburban areas in the smaller capital cities also experienced significant growth,

such as occurred in the Brisbane SLAs of Doolandella–Forest Lake and

Parkinson–Drewvale. The largest growth among South Australian LGAs occurred in

the outer suburban areas of Onkaparinga (C) and Tea Tree Gully (C). In Perth the

fringe LGAs of Wanneroo (C), Swan (C) and Rockingham (C) experienced large

growth. Palmerston (C), on the outskirts of Darwin, recorded the largest growth of

any Northern Territory LGA, while Ngunnawal and Nicholls, on the northern fringe of

Canberra, experienced the largest growth amongst SLAs in the ACT.

Inner city growth

Australia's inner city areas, especially in the larger cities, grew rapidly in the five years

to June 2001. The LGA of the City of Sydney recorded Australia's highest average

annual growth rate of 18.1%, up from 13.7% in the previous five year period. The

LGAs of Perth (up 7.3%) and Melbourne (up 5.6%) also experienced rapid growth

between 1996 and 2001. The inner-Brisbane SLAs of Fortitude Valley — Inner and

City — Inner were among the fastest-growing SLAs in Queensland over this period.


M A I N F E A T U R E S continued..............................................................GROWTH ALONG THE COAST

Generally, the largest growth outside capital city SDs occurred in coastal Australia.

Lake Macquarie (C), Tweed (A), Shoalhaven (C) and Hastings (A) in New South

Wales, and Bass Coast (S) and Surf Coast (S) in Victoria experienced growth between

1996 and 2001. The city of Gold Coast in Queensland recorded the largest population

increase of all LGAs in Australia between 1991 and 1996 and the second largest

increase between 1996 and 2001, while growth also continued in the Queensland

coastal areas of Maroochy (S) and Caloundra (C). In South Australia, Alexandrina (DC)

and Victor Harbour (DC) continued to experience population growth, while in

Western Australia the coastal LGAs of Mandurah (C), Busselton (S), Broome (C) and

Albany (C) experienced growth.

GROWTH IN REGIONAL CENTRES

A number of regional centres gained population in the decade ending June 2001.

Centres such as Maitland (C) and Queanbeyan (C) in New South Wales,

Greater Geelong (C), Greater Bendigo (C) and Ballarat (C) in Victoria, Cairns (C) in

Queensland, Port Lincoln (C) in South Australia, and Albany (C) in Western Australia

experienced growth in the five years to June 2001, as in the previous five year period.

SMALL AREA DECLINE

Most LGAs with large population losses between 1996 and 2001 were located in the

state and territory balances. The exceptions to this were Greater Dandenong (C)

in Melbourne SD which declined by 3,300 people, and the Sydney LGAs of

Marrickville (A) (down 2,500 people), Canterbury (C) (down 1,500) and

Waverley (A) (down 1,400).

Two LGAs in the balance of Queensland experienced large population losses between

1996 and 2001. Duaringa (S) declined by 1,600 people, the fourth largest decline in

population in Australia, while the population of Mount Isa (C) declined by 1,200.

Two LGAs in the balance of Western Australia recorded large population losses. These

were Ashburton (S) and Coolgardie (S), both of which decreased by 1,400 people.

Whyalla (C), in South Australia, recorded a loss of 2,200 people, the third largest loss

in Australia, while the Tasmanian LGA of Launceston (C) declined by 1,400 people in

the five years to June 2001.


P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E A U S T R A L I A..............................................................NATIONAL GROWTH

Australia's estimated resident population at June 2001 was 19.5 million people. This

represents an increase of 1.2 million people (6.4%) since June 1996 at an average annual

growth rate of 1.3%. This increase was greater than the growth that occurred between

1991 and 1996, when Australia gained one million people (5.9%) at an average rate of

1.2% per year.

FASTEST GROWTH IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY

The fastest population growth in the five years to June 2001 was recorded in the

Northern Territory. Between June 1996 and June 2001 the population of the Northern

Territory grew by 10.0% (at an average annual rate of 1.9%), the highest proportional

increase of any state or territory. Queensland recorded the second fastest growth (8.9%,

or an average annual rate of 1.7%), having recorded the fastest growth between 1991 and

1996 (12.8%, or an average annual rate of 2.4%). The population of Western Australia

(up 8.0%, or an average annual rate of 1.5%) also increased at a higher rate than the

national average in the five years to June 2001.

LARGEST GROWTH IN THE THREE LARGEST STATES

In the five years to June 2001, as in the previous five year period, the largest population

increases occurred in the three most populous states. New South Wales experienced the

largest gain in population between 1996 and 2001 (404,600 people), compared to an

increase of 306,000 between 1991 and 1996. Queensland, which recorded the largest

increase in population between 1991 and 1996 (377,700 people), experienced the

second largest gain in population between 1996 and 2001 (296,400 people). Victoria

gained 262,500 people in the five years to June 2001, compared to an increase of

139,800 people in the five years to June 1996.

POPULATION CHANGE IN THE SMALLER STATES AND TERRITORIES

Tasmania's population declined by 1,500 people between 1996 and 2001, at an average

annual rate of –0.1%. This compares with an average annual growth rate of 0.3% between

1991 and 1996.

South Australia recorded the lowest average annual rate of growth between 1996 and

2001 (0.5%), up from 0.4% per year for the five years ending June 1996.

Growth in the Australian Capital Territory slowed from an average annual rate of 1.3%

between June 1991 and June 1996 to an average annual rate of 0.9% in the five years to

June 2001. The Northern Territory maintained an average annual growth rate of 1.9%

over both periods.


P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E A U S T R A L I A continued..............................................................CAPITAL CITY AND STATE BALANCE POPULATION CHANGE

At June 2001 capital city SDs were home to nearly two-thirds (64%) of Australia's

population, the same proportion as in 1991 and 1996. Altogether the capital city SDs

grew by 774,300 people between 1996 and 2001, accounting for two-thirds (66%) of

Australia's growth over this period, compared to 660,300 people (64% of growth)

between 1991 and 1996 .

The average annual growth rate of the combined capital city SDs was 1.3% in the

five years ending June 2001, while the combined state balances (those areas excluding

the capital city SDs) grew at an average rate of 1.2% per year over this period. Capital city

growth outpaced growth in the state balances in five states and territories. Brisbane grew

at the same rate as the balance of Queensland while the balance of Western Australia

grew at a faster rate than Perth.

In the five years to June 2001, as in the previous five year period, the largest growth

among Australia's capital cities occurred in Sydney (up 273,600 people), bringing its

population to 4.2 million. Melbourne replaced Brisbane as the city with the second

largest increase, gaining 205,500 people between 1996 and 2001 to reach a total

population of 3.5 million. Both Sydney and Melbourne grew at faster rates than their

respective state balances over this period.

Darwin and Brisbane remained the fastest-growing capital cities in the five years to

June 2001. Whereas Brisbane experienced the highest average growth rate in the

five years to June 1996 (up 2.3% per year), Darwin's growth rate of 2.5% per year

outstripped that of Brisbane (1.7%) between 1996 and 2001.

POPULATION DENSITY

Australia's population density at June 2001 was 2.5 people per square kilometre,

compared to 2.4 people per square kilometre in 1996 and 2.2 people per square

kilometre in 1991. The ACT had the highest population density of the states and

territories at June 2001 with 137 people per square kilometre, followed by Victoria with

21 people per square kilometre. The Northern Territory had a population density of only

0.1 people per square kilometre, the lowest of the states and territories.

Population density at June 2001 was highest in the city centres, particularly in Sydney,

where the three most densely populated SLAs in Australia were located. These were

Sydney — Remainder (8,400 people per square kilometre), Waverley (A) (6,900) and

North Sydney (5,700). Fourth on the list, and the most densely populated SLA in

Victoria, was Port Phillip (C) — St. Kilda, with 5,500 people per square kilometre. At the

other extreme, there were around 250 SLAs in Australia with less than 1 person per

square kilometre.


P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E A U S T R A L I A continued..............................................................CENTRE OF POPULATION

The centre of population is one measure to describe the spatial distribution of the

population. This point marks the average latitude and longitude around which the

population is distributed. At June 2001 the centre of Australia's population was located in

the LGA of Central Darling (A), reflecting the concentration of the population in the

south-east of Australia, particularly in Sydney and Melbourne.

Between 1996 and 2001 the centre of Australia's population moved around 6 kilometres

northward, from within the LGA of Carrathool (A) to the LGA of Central Darling (A), as a

result of population growth in northern Australia. This shift was less than that recorded

between 1991 and 1996, when the centre of population moved 14 kilometres northward

within the LGA of Carrathool (A).

P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E N E W Z E A L A N D..............................................................NATIONAL GROWTH

New Zealand's estimated resident population (1996-based) was 3.9 million at June 2001,

an increase of 135,900 people since June 1996. New Zealand's average annual growth

rate of 0.7% from June 1996 to June 2001 was lower than that of Australia (1.3%).

New Zealand's population density at June 2001 was 14.4 people per square kilometre,

considerably higher than that of Australia (2.5 people per square kilometre).

Nineteen of New Zealand's seventy-four territorial authorities (five cities and fourteen

districts) had average annual growth rates which exceeded the national average of 0.7%

from June 1996 to June 2001.

FASTER GROWTH IN THE NORTH ISLAND

Between June 1996 and June 2001 the population of the North Island grew at an average

annual rate of 0.9%, more quickly than that of the South Island (0.3%). At June 2001 an

estimated 2.9 million people lived in the North Island, an increase of 123,200 since

June 1996, while the population of the South Island increased by 12,700 over the same

period to reach 931,000.

At June 2001 the North Island was home to 76% of New Zealand residents while the

South Island accommodated 24%. These proportions were similar in 1996 (75% and 25%

respectively).

Auckland — major growth area

The four cities within the Auckland Region experienced the largest population increases

in New Zealand in the five years to June 2001, with Auckland City increasing by

28,900 people, Manukau City by 26,900, Waitakere City by 16,500 and North Shore City

by 13,000. Together these cities accounted for 69% of the population growth in the

North Island and 63% of the growth in New Zealand between 1996 and 2001.

DISTRICT POPULATION GROWTH

Queenstown–Lakes District, in the South Island, was the fastest-growing territorial

authority in New Zealand, increasing at an average annual rate of 4.1% between

June 1996 and June 2001.

A number of districts on the outskirts of major cities experienced growth rates well

above the New Zealand average in the five years to 2001. The populations of Rodney

(up 2.6% per year), to the north of Auckland, and Selwyn (up 2.6% per year) and

Waimakariri (up 2.3% per year), on the outskirts of Christchurch, increased at higher

rates than New Zealand overall.

The regional centre of Tauranga and the surrounding district of Western Bay of Plenty

also experienced high rates of growth between 1996 and 2001 (up 2.6% and 2.2% per

year respectively).

POPULATION DECLINE

Thirty-nine of New Zealand's seventy-four territorial authorities experienced population

decline between June 1996 and June 2001. The largest losses were experienced in

Invercargill City (down 3,800 people) and South Waikato District (down 2,700), while

the highest rates of decrease were experienced in the districts of Kawerau

(down 2.6% per year), South Waikato (down 2.2%), Tararua (down 1.9%) and

Stratford (down 1.8%).

At June 2001 the estimated resident population of New South Wales (NSW) was

6.6 million, with 63% (4.2 million people) living in Sydney SD. The population of NSW

increased by 404,600 people from June 1996 to June 2001 at an average annual growth

rate of 1.3%.

POPULATION CHANGE IN SYDNEY SD

Growth in Sydney SD

Sydney SD grew at a faster rate during the period 1996 to 2001 (an average annual

growth rate of 1.4%) than in the preceding five years (a rate of 1.1%), increasing from

3.9 million people to 4.2 million people. Growth in Sydney SD accounted for

68% (273,600 people) of NSW's population growth in the five years ending June 2001.

The largest population increases in the Sydney SD occurred in parts of inner and

western Sydney as well as on the central coast. Liverpool (C) experienced the largest

population increase (35,300 people) in the period 1996 to 2001, while the most

populous LGA in NSW, Blacktown (C), had the second largest population increase

(26,300 people). The third, fourth and fifth largest increases recorded in the Sydney SD

occurred in Baulkham Hills (A) which increased by 21,000 people, Sydney (C) which

increased by 17,900, and Wyong (A) which increased by 15,700.

The three fastest growing LGAs in NSW between 1996 and 2001 were located in

Sydney SD. The population of the inner city LGA of Sydney (C) continued to grow

rapidly, increasing by an average 18.1% per year. Camden (A), the second fastest growing

LGA, increased by 6.7% per year (up 12,600 people), while Liverpool (C) experienced an

average growth rate of 5.1% per year. These three LGAs were also the fastest growing

areas in NSW in the five year period to 1996.

Decline in Sydney SD

Only four of Sydney's LGAs experienced population decline during 1996 to 2001. In the

inner west the population of Marrickville (A) decreased by 2,500 people (at an average

–0.6% per year), Canterbury (C) decreased by 1,500 (down 0.2%) and Ashfield (A)

decreased by 610 (down 0.3%), while in the eastern suburbs the population of

Waverley (A) decreased by 1,400 people (down 0.4%).


P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E N E W S O U T H W A L E S continued..............................................................COASTAL GROWTH

All coastal LGAs in NSW outside the Sydney SD experienced population growth in the

five years ending June 2001, although more than three-quarters (77%) experienced

lower rates of growth than in the previous five year period. Growth in Byron (A) slowed

from 3.3% per year between 1991 and 1996 to 2.1% between 1996 and 2001, from

1.9% to 0.7% in Pristine Waters (A), and from 3.7% to 2.8% in Tweed (C).

In the five year period to June 2001 the largest increases in coastal populations occurred

in Lake Macquarie (C) (an increase of 11,400 people), Tweed (A) (9,800 people),

Shoalhaven (C) (9,000 people) and Hastings (A) (8,300 people).

Three of the four coastal LGAs in the Illawarra SD experienced growth rates above the

state average of 1.3% per year. Shellharbour (C) and Shoalhaven (C) both grew by an

average 2.2% per year while Kiama (A) increased by 1.7% per year. Wollongong (C) grew

by an average 0.8% per year over the same period.

GROWTH AND DECLINE IN INLAND NSW

The largest population increases in inland NSW between 1996 and 2001 occurred in

Maitland (C) (up 5,300 people), Wingecarribee (A) (4,900), Queanbeyan (C) (4,500),

Griffith (C) (2,600), Dubbo (C) and Orange (C) (both up 2,200 people). The South

Eastern SD contained the four fastest-growing inland LGAs over the five years to 2001.

These were Mulwaree (A) and Snowy River (A), which experienced average annual

growth rates of 3.8% and 3.4% respectively, and Queanbeyan (C) and Yarrowlumla (A),

both adjacent to the Australian Capital Territory, which increased by 3.0% and 2.9% per

year respectively.

Broken Hill (C) in the Far West SD experienced the largest population decline in inland

NSW with a loss of 830 people (down 0.8% per year since 1996).

The five fastest population declines in NSW for the five years ending June 2001 occurred

in inland LGAs. Bombala (A), Urana (A), Conargo (A) and Hay (A) experienced more

rapid population decline in the five years to 2001 than in the five years to 1996.

Cobar (A), having recorded positive growth between 1991 and 1996 (at an average

growth rate of 0.9% per year), experienced population decline between 1996 and 2001

(down 1.5% per year).

At June 2001 the centre of population of NSW was located in the LGA of

Hawkesbury (C). Between June 1996 and June 2001 the centre moved approximately

1.5 kilometres south-eastward, reflecting greater population growth in the Sydney area

than in the rest of the state.

CENTRE OF POPULATION OF SYDNEY SD

The centre of population of the Sydney SD at June 2001 was located in Parramatta (C).


P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E V I C T O R I A..............................................................STATE SUMMARY

The estimated resident population of Victoria at June 2001 was 4.8 million, an increase of

262,500 people since June 1996. The average annual growth rate over this period was

1.1%, compared to 0.6% in the five years ending June 1996.

HIGH GROWTH IN MELBOURNE

At June 2001 there were an estimated 3.5 million people resident in Melbourne SD,

representing an increase of 205,500 people between June 1996 and June 2001. Growth

occurred at a higher average annual rate (1.2%) over this period than between 1991 and

1996 (0.8%).

Melbourne was home to nearly three-quarters (72%) of Victoria’s population at

June 2001 and accounted for 78% of Victoria's population growth in the five years ending

June 2001.

Growth in the outer suburbs

Continuing the trend of the early 1990s, the areas of largest growth in Victoria in the

five years ending June 2001 were located on the outer suburban fringe of Melbourne SD.

These outer suburbs are host to new residential housing estates and attract both young

and mature families.

Casey (C) experienced the largest population growth (33,000 people) of all LGAs in

Victoria between 1996 and 2001 and the fourth largest in Australia as a whole, although

growth in this LGA slowed from an average annual rate of 4.9% between 1991 and 1996

to 4.1% between 1996 and 2001. More than two-thirds of the growth in Casey (C)

occurred within the SLA of Casey (C) — Berwick, which grew by 22,400 (at an average

annual rate of 8.3%) in the five years to 2001.

The population of Hume (C) grew by 15,400 people between 1996 and 2001. More than

three quarters of the growth in Hume (C) was contained in the SLA of

Hume (C) — Craigieburn, which increased by 12,400 at an average rate of 7.9% per year

over this period.

The rate of population growth in Mornington Peninsula (S) increased from 1.3% per year

between 1991 and 1996 to 2.4% between 1996 and 2001. This represented an increase of

14,900 people in the five years to 2001, the third largest increase among Victorian LGAs.

Growth in the inner city

The fastest-growing LGA in Victoria between 1996 and 2001 was the inner city LGA of

Melbourne (C). Growth accelerated from an average annual rate of 2.8% in the five years

to 1996 to 5.6% in the five years to 2001, bringing the population to 52,100. The

population of the SLA of Melbourne (C) — Inner more than tripled in the five years to

2001, growing by 5,200 persons at an average rate of 31.5% each year, while the SLA of

Melbourne (C) — Southbank–Docklands also grew quickly, increasing its population by

2,300 at an average annual rate of 15.5%. The rapid growth within these two SLAs reflects

an increase in inner city apartment living.

GROWTH IN REGIONAL VICTORIA

The population of the balance of Victoria increased by 57,000 during the five years to

June 2001 to 1.3 million people. Population growth in regional Victoria accelerated in the

late 1990s, from an average annual rate of 0.2% between 1991 and 1996 to 0.9% between

1996 and 2001.

Between 1996 and 2001, all SDs in Victoria experienced population growth, with the

exception of Wimmera SD. This represents a reversal of previous trends in the SDs of

Western District, Mallee, and Gippsland, all of which experienced population decline

during the early 1990s. Gippsland SD grew by 0.8% per year between 1996 and 2001,

compared with an average annual decline of –0.3% between 1991 and 1996.

Growth along the coast

Two of the fastest-growing areas in Victoria in the five years ending June 2001 were the

coastal LGAs of Bass Coast (S) and Surf Coast (S). Both areas include popular tourist and

retirement destinations, notably Phillip Island in Bass Coast (S) and the Great Ocean

Road in Surf Coast (S).

Bass Coast (S) grew on average by 3.6% each year between 1996 and 2001, increasing by

4,100 people over this period. The SLA of Bass Coast (S) — Phillip Island increased by

1,500 people at an average annual rate of 4.5%, making it one of the fastest growing SLAs

in regional Victoria.

Between 1996 and 2001, Surf Coast (S) gained 3,100 persons, increasing at an average

rate of 3.2% each year. The SLA of Surf Coast (S) — East accounted for 72% of growth in

this LGA, increasing by 2,200 people at an average annual rate of 4.1%.

Growth in regional centres

The largest growth of regional centres in Victoria in the five years to June 2001 occurred

in Greater Geelong (C) which increased by 11,200 people (at an average rate of

1.2% per year), Greater Bendigo (C) (up 6,000 people at 1.4% per year) and Ballarat (C)

(up 4,600 people at 1.1% per year).

Population growth in a number of regional centres accelerated in the latter half of the

1990s. The population of Mildura (RC) grew by an average annual rate of 1.5% in the

five years ending June 2001, up from 0.5% in the preceding five years. Similarly, the

population of Greater Geelong (C) increased at an average annual rate of 1.2% between

1996 and 2001, up from 0.3% per year between 1991 and 1996.


P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E V I C T O R I A continued..............................................................Growth in regional centres continued

Between June 1996 and 2001 the population of Swan Hill (RC) increased at an average

annual rate of 0.5%, after experiencing population decline between 1991 and 1996.

Similarly, Ballarat (C) grew at an average annual rate of 1.1% in the five years ending

June 2001, following a period of zero growth in the five years to June 1996.

Between 1996 and 2001, the fastest growth in regional centres in Victoria was recorded

in Mildura (RC) and Wodonga (RC) (both with average annual growth rates of 1.5%)

followed by Greater Shepparton (C) and Greater Bendigo (C) (both 1.4%).

POPULATION DECLINE

The largest and fastest population declines in regional Victoria in the five years ending

June 2001 were recorded within the State's wheat belt. The populations of the shires of

Buloke and Yarriambiack declined at an average annual rate of 1.6% and 1.5%

respectively, while West Wimmera and Loddon declined by 1.3% and 1.1% per year over

the same period.

Within Melbourne SD, the population of Greater Dandenong (C) declined at an average

annual rate of 0.5% between 1996 and 2001.

The estimated resident population of Queensland at June 2001 was 3.6 million, an

increase of 296,400 people since June 1996. Queensland's average rate of growth was

1.7% per year for the period 1996 to 2001 (making Queensland the second fastest

growing state or territory, behind the Northern Territory), down from 2.4% per year

recorded for the period 1991 to 1996 (when Queensland was the fastest growing state or

territory).

THE SOUTH-EAST

The south-east corner of Queensland (the Moreton and Brisbane SDs) experienced an

increase of 241,500 people between 1996 and 2001, accounting for four-fifths (81.5%) of

Queensland's growth for the period. This was a smaller increase than that of the five year

period to 1996, which saw an increase in population of 290,600 persons.

As a result of this growth the proportion of the Queensland population living in the

south-east region has continued to increase steadily, from 62.4% in 1991 to 64.0% in

1996, and then to 65.5% in 2001.

During the period 1996 to 2001 the population of Moreton SD continued to grow

strongly, up by 108,200 people, although the rate of increase (3.3% per year) was lower

than that recorded for the period 1991 to 1996 (4.8%). Moreton's growth rates for both

periods were the highest of all Queensland Statistical Divisions.

The population of Brisbane SD increased by 133,400 people from 1996 to 2001, at an

average rate of 1.7% per year. An estimated 1.7 million people lived in Brisbane SD at

June 2001, representing 45.5% of Queensland's population.

POPULATION INCREASES IN BRISBANE AND MORETON

The two most populous LGAs in Queensland, the cities of Brisbane and Gold Coast,

experienced the largest increases in population in Queensland, and in Australia, between

1996 and 2001. Brisbane increased by 74,000 people (at an average rate of 1.7% per year)

while the Gold Coast increased by 69,000 people (or 3.6% per year).

New housing estates, particularly in the south, accounted for the largest increases within

Brisbane LGA. The population of the south-western SLA of Doolandella–Forest Lake

more than doubled between 1996 and 2001, from 6,600 to 14,300 people (an overall

increase of 7,800 people at an average rate of 16.9% per year) while large increases were

also recorded in the nearby SLAs of Parkinson–Drewvale (up 3,900 people) and

Calamvale, Kuraby and Runcorn (each up 3,100 people). The northern SLA of

Taigum–Fitzgibbon increased by 3,000 people.

The construction and occupancy of new apartment developments resulted in high levels

of growth in a number of inner-Brisbane SLAs, such as Fortitude Valley — Inner

(up 1,100 people in the five years to 2001, at an average 56.1% per year), City — Inner

(up 670 people, or 24.1% per year) and Spring Hill (up 880, or 5.6% per year).

Fortitude Valley — Remainder increased by 590 people (7.2% per year) and

City — Remainder increased by 440 (5.6% per year), while other SLAs close to the city

centre to experience population growth since 1996 were Newstead, Kangaroo Point,

New Farm and South Brisbane.


P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E Q U E E N S L A N D continued..............................................................INCREASES IN BRISBANE AND MORETON continued

The shires of Pine Rivers and Redland in Brisbane SD recorded increases of 16,200 and

14,300 respectively since 1996, representing growth rates of 2.9% and 2.6% per year,

reflecting the continuing high growth of new housing estates in these areas.

Within Gold Coast City the largest population increases for the period 1996 to 2001 were

recorded in the adjoining low-density SLAs of Guanaba–Currumbin Valley and

Coomera–Cedar Creek. Guanaba–Currumbin Valley recorded the largest increase in

population of all Queensland SLAs, up 11,000 people. This represented an average

annual growth rate of 12.0% since 1996. The population of Coomera–Cedar Creek

increased by 5,200 people, at a rate of 12.7% per year. The fastest growing SLA within

Gold Coast City was Arundel which increased at a rate of 14.1% per year between 1996

and 2001 (up 3,800 people).

The coastal LGAs of Maroochy, Caloundra and Noosa in Moreton SD also recorded

substantial growth for the period 1996 to 2001. Maroochy (S) increased by 19,300 people

(at an average rate of 3.3% per year), Caloundra (C) increased by 10,300 (2.9% per year)

and Noosa (S) increased by 7,500 (3.8% per year).

POPULATION GROWTH IN THE REMAINDER OF QUEENSLAND

Low to moderate growth was recorded in most of the remaining SDs in Queensland in

the period 1996 to 2001. The Wide Bay–Burnett and Far North SDs recorded increases of

12,600 and 12,100 people respectively (both recording average growth rates of 1.1% per

year), while the Northern SD increased by 11,700 people (an average annual growth rate

of 1.3%).

Growth was recorded in most coastal LGAs. The cities of Thuringowa and Townsville in

Northern SD increased by 7,600 and 5,700 people respectively (representing average

annual growth rates of 3.1% and 1.3% respectively). Cairns City in the Far North SD

increased by 7,000 people at an average rate of 1.2% per year while Hervey Bay (C) in

Wide Bay–Burnett increased by 4,600 (2.3% per year).

Employment in the mining industry contributed to Burke (S) in the North West SD

experiencing the fastest population growth in Queensland over the period 1996 to 2001.

Burke increased at an average rate of 7.9% per year between 1996 and 2001

(up 540 people) whereas the population declined during the previous five year period.

Between 1991 and 1996 the populations of the Central West, North West, and

South West SDs declined (down 810 people, 2,300 and 2,700 people respectively).

Between 1996 and 2001 this trend largely slowed or reversed. The Central West SD was

the only Queensland SD to decrease in population between 1996 and 2001, declining by

80 people (at an average rate of –0.1% per year compared to –1.3% between 1991 and

1996), while the population of the North West SD remained the same and the

South West SD recorded a small increase in population.

The largest decreases in population in Queensland were recorded in the mining areas of

Duaringa (S) and Mount Isa (C), down 1,600 and 1,200 people respectively between

1996 and 2001. Duaringa also experienced the highest rate of population decline of all

Queensland LGAs for the period (down 3.7% per year).

The population of Rockhampton (C) decreased by 1,100 people over the five year period

to June 2001, largely associated with an emerging trend for people to reside in

Livingstone (S) and to commute to work in Rockhampton.

CENTRE OF POPULATION OF QUEENSLAND

The centre of population of Queensland at June 2001 was located in Gayndah (S) and

had moved approximately 10 kilometres south-eastward since 1996, reflecting

population growth in the south-eastern cities (Brisbane and the Gold Coast) and coastal

areas over this period.

CENTRE OF POPULATION OF BRISBANE SD

The centre of population of Brisbane SD at June 2001 was located in the SLA of

Kangaroo Point.


P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E S O U T H A U S T R A L I A..............................................................STATE SUMMARY

South Australia's estimated resident population at June 2001 was 1.5 million, an increase

of 40,600 people since June 1996. The average annual growth rate during this period was

0.5%, up from 0.4% between June 1991 and June 1996.

All but two of South Australia's seven SDs experienced population growth between 1996

and 2001. South East SD experienced no change in the size of its population, while

decline in Northern SD slowed from an average annual rate of –1.2% between 1991 and

1996 to –0.8% between 1996 and 2001.

CAPITAL CITY GROWTH

Adelaide SD

The population of the Adelaide Statistical Division (SD) at June 2001 was 1.1 million, an

increase of 32,100 people since June 1996. Adelaide SD grew at an average annual rate of

0.6% over this period, up from 0.4% between 1991 and 1996. The rest of the state grew

more slowly at an average annual rate of 0.4%, compared to 0.3% for the previous

five year period. Adelaide's share of the South Australian population has remained steady

over the past ten years at 73%.

Within the Adelaide SD the Northern Adelaide Statistical Subdivision (SSD) recorded the

highest average annual growth rate between 1996 and 2001 (0.9%). Western Adelaide

SSD, which experienced negative growth (down 0.4% per year) between 1991 and 1996,

recorded the lowest growth rate of 0.2% in the five years ending June 2001.

Outer Adelaide SD

The Outer Adelaide SD continued to experience the highest average annual growth of all

SDs in South Australia. Between June 1996 and June 2001 the population of this area

increased by 9,900 people at an average annual rate of 1.8%, largely due to continued

growth in the LGAs of Victor Harbor (DC), Alexandrina (DC) and Mount Barker (DC).

Victor Harbor (DC) and Alexandrina (DC), located in the Fleurieu SSD to the south of

the Adelaide metropolitan area, have become popular retirement destinations in South

Australia.

LARGEST AND FASTEST GROWTH

The majority of LGAs to experience large population increases between 1996 and 2001

were located within the Adelaide and Outer Adelaide SDs. The largest increases in

population were recorded in the Adelaide LGAs of Onkaparinga (C) (6,800 people),

Tea Tree Gully (C) (4,200), Playford (C) (3,800) and Salisbury (C) (3,300).

The LGA of Roxby Downs (M) in the Northern SD recorded the highest average annual

growth rate (5.7%) in South Australia between 1996 and 2001, growth in this area having

accelerated from an average annual rate of 2.8% between 1991 and 1996. This has

resulted from the expansion of the Olympic Dam project and from an increase in the

number of families moving into the area following recent development of the town's

infrastructure and services. The next fastest growing LGAs in South Australia were

located within the Outer Adelaide SD. Victor Harbor (DC), which recorded the highest

annual growth rate in the five years to June 1996 (3.9%), recorded the second highest

average annual growth rate in the five years to June 2001 (3.6%), followed by

Alexandrina (DC), Mount Barker (DC), and Light (DC).

Population decreases were recorded in twenty-four of South Australia's sixty-eight LGAs,

many of which were located in the Northern SD. None of the declining LGAs were within

the Adelaide or Outer Adelaide SDs.

The fastest decrease in population in the five years ending June 2001 was recorded in

Orroroo/Carrieton (DC) (down 2.2% per year), followed by Peterborough (DC),

Whyalla (C) and Coober Pedy (DC), all in the Northern SD. The LGA of Whyalla (C)

experienced the largest decline in population over this period, losing 2,200 people.

CENTRE OF POPULATION FOR SOUTH AUSTRALIA

At June 2001 South Australia's centre of population was located in the SLA of

Salisbury (C) — South-East, and has shifted 0.5 kilometres south since June 1996,

reflecting population growth in the Adelaide area and decline in the Northern SD.

CENTRE OF POPULATION FOR ADELAIDE SD

The centre of population of the Adelaide SD at June 2001 was located in the SLA of

Adelaide (C).


P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E W E S T E R N A U S T R A L I A..............................................................STATE SUMMARY

The estimated resident population of Western Australia (WA) at June 2001 was

1.9 million, an increase of 140,900 people since June 1996. Western Australia's average

annual growth rate for the period 1996 to 2001 was 1.5% (making it the third fastest

growing state or territory), the same as that recorded for the period 1991 to 1996.

The Perth SD experienced the largest growth of all Western Australia SDs between 1996

and 2001 (up 102,000 people), followed by the South West SD (27,600 people). The

South Eastern SD experienced the largest decrease (down 1,200 people) while the

population of the Upper Great Southern SD decreased by 1,100 people between 1996

and 2001.

PERTH SD

The population of Perth SD at June 2001 was 1.4 million, accounting for almost

three-quarters (73%) of the total Western Australian population.

The strong growth experienced in metropolitan fringe areas of Perth SD in the

five years to 1996 continued over the period 1996 to 2001. The LGAs of Wanneroo (C) to

the north of the Perth city centre and Swan (C) to the north-east increased by 19,400 and

14,100 people respectively between 1996 and 2001. These were the largest and second

largest increases in WA for the period. The southern LGAs of Rockingham (C)

(up 13,100 people), and Cockburn (C) (up 9,700) experienced the third and fourth

largest increases between 1996 and 2001.

Perth (C) was the fastest growing LGA in WA over the period 1996 to 2001, increasing

from 5,600 people to 8,000 people at an average rate of 7.3% per year. This can be

attributed to the rise in demand for higher-density accomodation by people living alone

and couples without children.

The LGAs of Belmont (C) and Bayswater (C) experienced positive population growth in

the five years to 2001 (up 2,800 and 1,500 people respectively) having experienced

population decline (down 200 and 450 people respectively) in the five years to 1996.

Only three of thirty LGAs in the Perth SD experienced declines in population over the

period 1996 to 2001, and these decreases were minor. These occurred in the established

inner metropolitan LGAs of Claremont (T), Cottesloe (T) and Peppermint Grove (S).

GROWTH IN REGIONAL WESTERN AUSTRALIA

South West SD

The South West SD experienced the second largest growth of any SD in Western

Australia in the five years to 2001 (up 27,600 people), and was also the second fastest

growing SD (at an average rate of 3.1% per year) after the Kimberley SD.

Growth in the South West SD was due in part to growing popularity of semi-rural areas.

People were attracted to this region because of factors such as proximity to Perth and

Bunbury, housing affordability and proximity to the coast.

Mandurah (C), adjacent to the southern border of Perth SD, experienced the fifth largest

increase in LGA population in WA between 1996 and 2001, increasing by 8,700 people at

an average rate of 4.0% per year. This follows an increase of 11,200 people in the

five years to 1996.


P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E W E S T E R N A U S T R A L I A continued..............................................................South West SD continued

The populations of Busselton and Augusta–Margaret River increased by 5,200 people

(at an average rate of 5.1% per year) and 2,200 people (4.8% per year) respectively

between 1996 and 2001. The satellite city of Bunbury experienced an increase of

2,900 people for the same period, while the fringe shires of Harvey, Dardanup and Capel

increased by 3,100, 2,300 and 1,100 people respectively.

Kimberley SD

The Kimberley SD experienced the fastest growth of any SD in WA, increasing by

7,000 people at an average rate of 5.0% per year between 1996 and 2001. Three-quarters

of this growth occurred in the Fitzroy SSD, with the LGA of Broome (S) increasing by

3,500 people and Derby–West Kimberley increasing by 1,800.

DECLINES IN POPULATION IN REGIONAL WESTERN AUSTRALIA

The LGA of Ashburton in the Pilbara SD experienced the largest decline in population in

WA, decreasing by 1,400 people (at an average rate of –4.1% per year) between 1996 and

2001. East Pilbara (S) experienced the third largest decrease in population, down

1,100 people.

In the South Eastern SD a number of LGAs experienced significant losses in population.

Coolgardie (S) experienced the second largest decrease in population in WA between

1996 and 2001 (down 1,400 people at an average rate of –5.3% per year, the fourth

fastest decrease in WA). This decrease corresponds to a loss of almost one-quarter of

Coolgardie's population between 1996 and 2001. Leonora (S), down 790 people

(–6.5% per year), and Dundas, down 410 people (–5.5% per year), experienced the

second and third fastest declines in population in WA between 1996 and 2001. These

declines can be attributed to changes in employment conditions in the mining industry.

Meekatharra (S) in the Central SD experienced the fastest decline in population in WA,

losing almost one-third (31%) of its population between 1996 and 2001 (at an average

rate of –7.2% per year).


P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E W E S T E R N A U S T R A L I A continued..............................................................DECLINES IN POPULATION IN REGIONAL WESTERN AUSTRALIA continued

In the Upper Great Southern SD twelve of the fifteen LGAs experienced population

CENTRE OF POPULATION OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Western Australia's centre of population at June 2001 was located in the SLA of

Toodyay (S), approximately 85 kilometres north-east of Perth. The centre of population

has shifted 1.7 kilometres south-westward in the five years to June 2001, reflecting

greater population growth in the Perth and South West SDs than in the rest of the state

over this period.

CENTRE OF POPULATION OF PERTH SD

The centre of population of the Perth SD at June 2001 was located in the SLA of

Victoria Park (T).


P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E T A S M A N I A..............................................................STATE SUMMARY

The estimated resident population of Tasmania at June 2001 was 472,900. Between

June 1996 and June 2001 the population of Tasmania declined by 1,500 people, at an

average annual rate of less than –0.1% per year.

Mersey–Lyell SD experienced the greatest decline of 3,200 people (down 0.6% per year),

while the Northern SD declined by 600 (down 0.1%). Greater Hobart SD increased by

2,100 people (0.2%) and Southern SD by 200 (0.1%).

GROWTH IN LESS THAN FIFTY PERCENT OF TASMANIAN LGAS

In the five years to June 2001, less than 50% (13 of 29) of Tasmania's LGAs experienced

population growth, all at a lower average annual rate than Australia as a whole (1.3%).

Between 1996 and 2001 the largest increase in population was recorded in the LGA of

Kingborough (M) (up 1,400 people or 0.9% per year), an urban fringe area south of

Hobart. The capital city LGA of Hobart (C) recorded the second largest increase in

population (up 790 people or 0.3% per year), followed by the northern LGAs of

Meander Valley (M) and West Tamar (M).

The fastest growth in Tasmania between 1996 and 2001 occurred in the north-west LGA

of Latrobe (M) (up 1.1% per year), within commuting distance of the city of Devonport.

All other LGAs in the Mersey–Lyell SD declined, with the exception of Kentish (M).

POPULATION DECLINE

Many of Tasmania's cities experienced population decline in the five years to June 2001.

Launceston (C) recorded the largest decline of 1,400 people, at an average annual rate of

–0.4%. In the Mersey–Lyell SD, the cities of Burnie (down 1,000 people) and Devonport

(down 660) recorded some of the largest population losses in the state.

The LGA of West Coast (M), a mining and tourism area, continued to experience the

fastest population decline in Tasmania, although decline slowed from an average annual

rate of –3.7% per year between June 1991 and June 1996 to a rate of –2.8% between June

1996 and June 2001. The LGAs of Central Highlands (M) and King Island (M)

experienced population decline in the five years to June 2001, both at an average annual

rate of –1.8%.

CENTRE OF POPULATION OF TASMANIA

Tasmania's centre of population at June 2001 was located in the SLA of

Central Highlands (M) and had moved around 1.5 kilometres south-eastward since

June 1996, reflecting population growth in the Greater Hobart SD and population

decline in the Northern and Mersey–Lyell SDs during this period.

CENTRE OF POPULATION OF GREATER HOBART SD

The centre of population of the Greater Hobart SD at June 2001 was located in the SLA

of Hobart (C) — Remainder.


P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E N O R T H E R N T E R R I T O R Y..............................................................NORTHERN TERRITORY SUMMARY

The estimated resident population of the Northern Territory at June 2001 was

200,000, an increase of 18,200 since June 1996. The average annual growth rate of

1.9% between 1996 and 2001, the same as for the period 1991 to 1996, was the highest

of all the states and territories.

The SLAs of Durack (up 2,600 people), Bakewell (also up 2,600 people) and

Palmerston (C) Bal (up 2,500 people), all within the Palmerston–East Arm SSD,

experienced the largest increases in population in the Northern Territory between


DARWIN SD CONTINUES TO GROW

Between June 1996 and June 2001 the population of the Darwin SD grew by

12,400 people, to 108,200. Darwin's growth rate of 2.5% per year over this period was

higher than that recorded for the remainder of the Northern Territory (1.3%). At June

2001 Darwin SD accounted for 54.1% of the Territory's total population.

All three SSDs within the Darwin SD experienced population growth between 1996 and

2001. Darwin City SSD grew by an average of 0.2% per year, Palmerston–East Arm SSD by

11.3% and Litchfield Shire SSD by 3.0%.

Population change in Darwin City SSD

Darwin City SSD experienced a modest increase in population between June 1996 and

June 2001, up 810 people (an average of 0.2% per year). Large increases in population

were recorded in the SLAs of Stuart Park (up 900 people since 1996, or 5.8% per year),

Larrakeyah (up 590 or 3.9% per year) and Coconut Grove (up 510 or 4.7%), largely as a

result of the development and promotion of diverse new residential housing which

included high-rise units, duplexes and townhouses.

Despite the overall increase in Darwin's population since 1996, decreases in population

were recorded in more than half (17 out of 29) of its SLAs; most notably in older SLAs

such as Moil (which decreased by 210 people since 1996, or –1.9% per year),

Wagaman (down 200, or –1.7% per year), Marrara (down 190, or –2.2% per year) and

Karama (down 180 or –0.7% per year). These declines may be partially explained by the

trend for Darwin residents to move out of older suburbs to more affordable housing in

the new suburbs of Palmerston or to higher quality, lower maintenance properties such

as in the SLA of Stuart Park.

Large population growth in Palmerston–East Arm SSD

Palmerston–East Arm SSD experienced the largest growth in population in the Northern

Territory between 1996 and 2001, increasing by 9,400 people at an average rate of

increase of 11.3% per year to reach 22,800 people at June 2001.

This increase accounted for more than 50% of the Northern Territory's population

growth between 1996 and 2001, and may be attributed to the fact that

Palmerston–East Arm SSD is an expanding residential area providing a range of housing

options attractive to a broad range of socioeconomic groups, coupled with access to fully

developed commercial and recreational facilities and services.


P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E N O R T H E R N T E R R I T O R Y continued..............................................................Large population growth in Palmerston–East Arm SSD continued

Population growth was recorded in all SLAs within Palmerston–East Arm SSD between

1996 and 2001, with the greatest growth occurring in the SLAs of Bakewell, Durack and

Palmerston (C) Bal. In 1996 these three SLAs accounted for around 5% (630 people) of

the total population of Palmerston–East Arm SSD and by June 2001 accounted for 37%

(8,300 people) of the total population.

Litchfield Shire SSD

As at 1 July 2001 the boundary for Darwin SD was extended to include the Litchfield

Shire which was formerly part of Darwin Rural Areas SSD. This was due to the

recognition of significant economic and social links which had rapidly developed

between the Litchfield Shire, Darwin and Palmerston. The newly formed

Litchfield Shire SSD consists of the SLAs of Litchfield (S) — Pt A and

Litchfield (S) — Pt B.

Between 1996 and 2001 the population of Litchfield (S) — Pt A increased by 420 people

to 1,600 (an average annual growth rate of 6.3%), significantly buoyed by the continued

presence of the Defence Force at Robertson Army Barracks.

Litchfield (S) — Pt B increased by 1,700 people to 14,200 (2.6% per year).

POPULATION CHANGE IN OTHER MAJOR NORTHERN TERRITORY TOWNS

From 1996 to 2001 the population of the LGA of Alice Springs (T) grew by 2,000 people

to 27,000, at an average annual growth rate of 1.5%. The highest growth occurred in the

SLAs of Ross and Larapinta (up 940 and 440 people respectively since 1996).

The populations of Jabiru (T), Katherine (T) and Tennant Creek (T) declined between

1996 and 2001. Jabiru and Tennant Creek declined by –4.4% and –3.7% per year

respectively due to the closure of mines in the area. Between 1996 and 2001 the

population of Katherine (T) declined by –1.0% per year.

P O P U L A T I O N C H A N G E A U S T R A L I A N C A P I T A L T E R R I T O R Y..............................................................AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY SUMMARY

The estimated resident population of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) at June 2001

was 321,700, an increase of 13,400 people since June 1996. The ACT's average annual

growth rate for the five year period to June 2001 was 0.9%, less than the growth rate of

1.3% recorded over the five year period to June 1996.

Since 1996 the bulk of population growth in Canberra has occurred in the

Gungahlin–Hall SSD, which increased by 11,900 people (or by an average 14.2% per

year). Smaller growth was recorded in South Canberra (up 980 people since 1996),

Tuggeranong (690 people), Belconnen (520 people) and North Canberra (490 people),

while the Woden Valley SSD experienced relatively little change (down 130 people since

1996). The population of Weston Creek–Stromlo SSD decreased by 1,100 people since

1996, at a rate of –0.9% per year.

POPULATION GROWTH

SLA growth in the ACT

The three largest increases in population in the ACT in the five year period to June 2001

were recorded in the Gungahlin–Hall SSD. Ngunnawal increased by 4,300 people,

Nicholls by 4,200 and Amaroo by 2,700. The population of Palmerston in the

Gungahlin–Hall SSD also increased (up 610 people), although not to the same extent as

its neighbouring SLAs. The fourth and fifth largest increases in the ACT occurred in

Dunlop on the north-western fringe of Canberra (up 2,000 people since 1996) and

Conder on the southern fringe (up 1,100).

Other increases in SLA populations were recorded due to the completion of various

medium- and high-density developments across the ACT. Such developments resulted in

growth in North Canberra (in Watson and the inner city SLAs of Braddon and City),

South Canberra (Griffith, Kingston and Narrabundah) and Belconnen (Bruce and Holt).

Kambah remains the ACT's most populous SLA with 17,100 people, while

Ngunnawal (8,800 people) is now the second most populous SLA, followed by

Wanniassa (8,700) and Kaleen (8,300).

Growth in the surrounding region

The NSW LGAs of Queanbeyan (C) and Yarrowlumla (A), adjacent to the ACT,

experienced high growth between 1996 and 2001, in part due to their proximity to

Canberra. Queanbeyan (C) was the third fastest-growing LGA in inland NSW, increasing

at an average rate of 3.0% per year between 1996 and 2001 (up 4,500 people), while

Yarrowlumla (A) was the fourth fastest-growing LGA in inland NSW (up 2.9% per year, or

1,400 people between 1996 and 2001).

SLA DECLINE

In general, the largest population declines in the ACT over the five years to June 2001

occurred in the most populous established SLAs. Kambah decreased by 730 people,

Wanniassa decreased by 440, and Kaleen decreased by 300, while Duntroon, home to

the Australian Defence Force Academy, decreased by 610 people.

years. This movement reflects the population growth experienced in northern suburbs

such as Ngunnawal and Nicholls over this period.

E X P L A N A T O R Y N O T E S ..................................................................INTRODUCTION

1 For Australia, this publication contains estimates of the resident population ofLGAs, SLAs, SSDs, SDs, Statistical Districts, states and territories, and Australia.

For New Zealand, this publication contains estimates of the resident population

of Regions, Territorial Authorities and New Zealand.

2 LGAs are ranked within states and territories according to both largest growth(in number) and fastest growth (in percentage terms) between June 1996 and

June 2001, allowing this publication to identify, in two ways, areas in Australia

with the largest and fastest increases and decreases in population. Fastest growth

is based on the rate of change in population while largest growth is based on the

absolute change in population.

3 Following the 1992 amendment to the Acts Interpretation Act 1901–1973 toinclude the Indian Ocean Territories of Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling)

Islands as part of geographic Australia, population estimates at dates

commencing from July 1993 include estimates for these two territories. To reflect

this change, another category of the state/territory classification was created,

known as Other Territories. Other Territories include Jervis Bay Territory,

Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Prior to July 1993,

Jervis Bay Territory was included in estimates for the Australian Capital Territory.

4 To meet the conflicting demands for accuracy and timeliness there are threeestimates of sub-state/territory populations. Preliminary estimates are available

seven months after the reference date, revised estimates are available a year later

and final estimates after the following census. The estimates in this publication

are preliminary for 2001, based on results of the 2001 Census of Population and

Housing, and final for 1991 and 1996. Final estimates for 2001 will be published

in the 2001–02 edition of Regional Population Growth, Australia and New

Zealand (cat. no. 3218.0), due for release in May 2003.

5 In recognition of the inherent inaccuracy involved in population estimation,population figures less than 1,000 in the text and accompanying summary tables

are rounded to the nearest ten, figures over 1,000 are rounded to the nearest

hundred, and figures over 1 million are rounded to the nearest 100,000. While

unrounded figures are provided in the main tables, accuracy to the last digit is

not claimed and should not be assumed.

ESTIMATED RESIDENT POPULATION — AUSTRALIA

6 Estimated resident population (ERP) are estimates of the Australian populationobtained by adding to the estimated population at the beginning of each period

the components of natural increase (on a usual residence basis) and net overseas

migration.

7 For the states and territories, account is also taken of estimated interstatemovements involving a change of usual residence. After each census, estimates

for the preceding intercensal period are revised by incorporating an additional

adjustment (intercensal discrepancy) to ensure that the total intercensal increase

agrees with the difference between the ERPs at the two respective census dates.

8 Estimates of the resident population are based on census counts by place ofusual residence, with an allowance for net census undercount, to which are

added the number of Australian residents estimated to have been temporarily

overseas at the time of the census. Overseas visitors in Australia are excluded

from this calculation.


E X P L A N A T O R Y N O T E S continued...........................................................ESTIMATED RESIDENT POPULATION — AUSTRALIA continued

9 The concept of ERP links people to a place of usual residence within Australia.Usual residence is that place where each person has lived or intends to live for

six months or more from the reference date for data collection.

Estimation of Statistical Local Area populations

10 In census years the ERP as at 30 June for each Statistical Local Area (SLA)/Local Government Area (LGA) is based on usual residence census counts, with an

allowance for net census undercount and the number of residents temporarily

overseas at the census date. Overseas visitors in Australia are excluded from this

calculation. As the census is held at a date other than 30 June (6 August in both

1991 and 1996, and 7 August in 2001), further adjustments taking into account

births, deaths and net migration for the intervening period are made to obtain

the ERP at 30 June.

11 For post-censal years, the absence of migration data at the SLA level meansthat it is not possible to estimate SLA populations by taking into account natural

increase and net migration. Instead, ERPs are calculated using a mathematical

model. Local knowledge, including that advised by local governments, may be

used to adjust the outcome of the model for a particular SLA.

12 In the mathematical model a relationship is established between changes inpopulation and changes in other indicators over the period between the two

most recent censuses.

13 The choice of indicators varies across the states and territories, dependingon availability, and includes dwelling approvals, electricity connections, Medicare

enrolments and drivers' licences. Changes in these indicators are then used to

estimate changes in the population of each area since the last census. The choice

of indicators also varies across SLAs depending on aspects such as whether the

SLA is urban or rural, is growing or declining, and whether the area has a high or

low proportion of houses or medium and high density dwellings.

14 A more detailed explanation of the concept of ERP, as adopted by the ABSfor official population estimates, is contained in Demographic Estimates and

Projections: Concepts, Sources and Methods, Statistical Concepts Library, ABS

web site<www.abs.gov.au>.

15 Service population estimates are a different measure of population. Theytake into account seasonal itinerant populations which are not included in the

ERP. Currently the ABS does not produce service population estimates but two

working papers are available which investigate the concept and feasibility of such

estimates. The working papers are available on the ABS web site

<www.abs.gov.au> by selecting Themes, then Demography, then ABS

Demography Working Papers (numbers 96/4 and 99/3).


E X P L A N A T O R Y N O T E S continued...........................................................ESTIMATED RESIDENT POPULATION — NEW ZEALAND

16 The resident population estimates for Territorial Authorities at 30 June 2001were obtained by updating the June 2000 population figures for estimated births

and deaths (by date of occurrence) of New Zealand residents, net permanent and

long-term international migration, and estimated internal migration, for the

period 1 July 2000 to 30 June 2001. The base population for these estimates is

the number of New Zealand residents in New Zealand on census night, 5 March

1996 (3,618,302), adjusted for the estimated net undercount at the 1996 Census

(45,000) and for the estimated number of New Zealand residents temporarily

overseas on 5 March 1996 (40,000). More details are available on request from

Chief Demographer, Demography Division, Private Bag 4741, Christchurch, New

Zealand.

17 As these population estimates are based on the 1996 Census, they make noallowance for the census night counts that have become available from the 2001 Census

of Population and Dwellings. Subnational resident population estimates at 30 June 2001,

based on the 2001 Census, are expected to be available in late July 2002 and will be

published on the Statistics New Zealand web site <www.stats.govt.nz>. The 1996-based

subnational population estimates are based on the resident population concept; as a

result they will differ from the population counts released from the 2001 Census of

Population and Dwellings.

18 The 1996-based subnational population estimates for regions, territorial authoritiesand urban areas for 1996 to 2001 are subject to revision. These estimates are available

from the Statistics New Zealand web site <www.stats.govt.nz> by selecting Population,

then Subnational Population Estimates Tables.

AUSTRALIAN STATISTICAL AREAS

19 This publication contains data presented according to the AustralianStandard Geographical Classification 2001 Edition (ASGC). Under this

classification, statistical areas are defined as follows:

Legal Local Government Areas (LGAs). These areas are the spatial units which

represent the geographical areas of incorporated local government councils

and incorporated Community Government Councils (CGCs) where the CGC is

of sufficient size and statistical significance. The various types of LGAs are

cities (C), areas (A), rural cities (RC), towns (T), shires (S), district

councils (DC) and municipalities (M).

Statistical Local Areas (SLAs). These geographical areas are, in most cases,

identical with, or have been formed from a division of, whole LGAs. In other

cases they represent unincorporated areas. In aggregate, SLAs cover the whole

of a state or territory without gaps or overlaps. In some cases legal LGAs

overlap statistical subdivision boundaries and therefore comprise two or three

SLAs (Part A, Part B and, if necessary, Part C).

Statistical Subdivisions (SSDs). These are of intermediate size, between SLAs

and SDs. In aggregate, they cover the whole of Australia without gaps or

overlaps. They are defined as socially and economically homogeneous regions

characterised by identifiable links between the inhabitants. In the non-urban

areas an SSD is characterised by identifiable links between the economic units

within the region, under the unifying influence of one or more major towns or

cities.


E X P L A N A T O R Y N O T E S continued...........................................................AUSTRALIAN STATISTICAL AREAS continued

Statistical Divisions (SDs). These consist of one or more SSDs. The divisions

are designed to be relatively homogeneous regions characterised by

identifiable social and economic units within the region, under the unifying

influence of one or more major towns or cities.

Statistical Districts. These consist of selected, significant, predominantly

urban areas in Australia which are not located within a Capital City SD.

Statistical Districts enable comparable statistics to be produced about these

selected urban areas.

20 Further information concerning statistical areas is contained in AustralianStandard Geographical Classification (ASGC), 2001 (cat. no. 1216.0).

21 For the purposes of this publication, all data refer to bounded areas asdefined at 1 July 2001, and as incorporated in the 2001 ASGC.

MAPS

22 A complete series of maps showing the SLAs mentioned in this publication isavailable in Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC), 2001

(cat. no. 1216.0) and is freely available on the ABS web site <www.abs.gov.au>

by selecting About Statistics.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RATE OF GROWTH

23 The average annual growth rate, r, is calculated as a percentage using theformula:

where P0 is the population at the start of the period, Pn is the population at the

end of the period and n is the length of the period between Pn and P0 in years.

CALCULATION OF AREAS

24 The area figures quoted in this issue are based upon the SLA level of theAustralian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC), 2001 (cat. no. 1216.0).

The areas of the SLAs were calculated using ABS standard Geographic

Information Systems software from the digital boundaries of the ASGC 2001.

Higher level spatial unit area figures are sub-totals of the SLA areas.

ELECTRONIC DATA

25 Annual population estimates at 30 June for all SLAs in Australia are availableelectronically. This information can be customised to provide data for any choice
