Note: Estimates for 2007 to 2011 are preliminary rebased, based on the results of the 2011 Census of Population and Housing. Estimates for 2012 are preliminary. In previous compilations of this spreadsheet, estimates for 2001 to 2006 were final. However, due to a change in the methodology used by the ABS to estimate Census undercount, the ABS will release a revised ERP series from 2001 to 2011 for LGAs.  Final estimates for these years will be released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on 30 August 2013.

(a) Geographies are based on the 2011 edition of the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).
