Caution
These population projections have been prepared using the latest available information at the time of preparation. 
Accuracy to the last digit of these projections should not be assumed. Variation above or below the figures provided is to be expected, because
projections rely on the accuracy of the assumptions used, as well as the quality of data on which they are based.
 
Explanatory Notes
The 30 June 2008 estimated resident population figures form the base year of the projections. Information regarding the methodology used in the preparation of the 2011 population projections is available in the
