Lismore was mentioned because it is a decent enough size/density to be included in the urban areas list (aka Population Estimates by Statistical District):Unanswered question from old thread.
One thing, how it makes 'urban areas' population instead of whole shire population? Well like Lismore, Byron and Ballina, they are all count whole area instead of city/town urban areas. I kept looking up on ABs and theres nothing for 2008???? I think Lismore got up to 35,000, Byron 14,500 and Ballina 28,000.
I've often wondered that - there are places I'm sure would have to be 25,000 and over. Places like Busselton and Albany in WA, Alice Springs in NT, maybe Foster-Tuncurry, Taree and Ballina in NSW etc.So that list would mean places of 25,000 and up? Not surprised about Byron in there because it is 10,000 short. Wonder why Ballina isnt in there? Im pretty sure Lennox Head is part of Ballina urban area. So that would equal over 25,000.
Wikipedia is useful if you check their sources, which are usually listed at the bottom of the page.rule 1 never use wiki
It takes a long time to add 100,000 when you are only growing on average at around 0.9%pa. Over the past few years Adelaide has increased its pace, now growing at around 13,000 a year. That's up from an increase of only 5,500 from 2003-2004.is it just me or does it seem Adelaide has been stuck between the 1.1 and 1.2 million mark for a long time now?
