These estimates plus those for Local Government Areas, Significant Urban Areas, Remoteness Areas and Electoral Divisions are also provided in the Downloads tab of this issue.\n\n\n\n 2 To meet the conflicting demands for accuracy and timeliness there are several versions of sub-state/territory population estimates. Preliminary estimates as at 30 June are normally available by April of the following year, revised estimates twelve months later and rebased and final estimates after the following Census. The estimates in this issue are preliminary rebased for 2011, based on the results of the 2011 Census, and preliminary for 2012.\n\n\n\nFor an ABS Glossary of Terms visit:\n\nhttp://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Lookup/2901.0Main%20Features12011\n\n## **Dataset Citation** \n\nAustralian Bureau of Statistics (2013) ABS Regional Population Growth Australia 2011-2012.
