Hi Kristine
I am guessing a bit with regard to your motives for wanting this data but if you are seeking the population figures in order to understand population movements I would suggest that you seek data which shows the population numbers over an extended period (say last 30 years). If you plot these numbers against say the median house price for each year you will start to get a good idea of which towns have grown and which have shrunk in line with the business cycle. This is the kind of research which is required to understand a locations potential. You would hate to buy into a town which becomes a ghost town when there is an economic downturn. As far as finding these stats is concerned REIA.com.au or REIV.com.au should be able to give you median house prices. Population stats are available through ABS.gov.au and maybe also REIA. As you mentioned it is hard to find what you are looking for. I am finding it hard to get the summarised data that I would like for e.g. a table of all towns and cities(postcodes) with their population numbers for each year over the last 30 years. If anyone can provide this please post to this forum – thanks.

OK here is a site I came across that shows some information about populations for Victorian towns. Don’t know how accurate it is but it also shows some other valuable info. eg schools, hospitals and the distance from other major towns.
the info only dates from 1999-2001 so is also a little out of date.
Just put in your post code or town name and away you go.

Hope this helps.
