Population projections Regions

The 2023 edition Queensland Government population projections were produced in late 2022. Since then, updated demographic information was released and this was used to produce the 2023 edition update. This update focused on the population projections for the State of Queensland as well as Greater Brisbane GCCSA and Rest of Queensland SA4s only. The 2023 edition products remain the current version for all other projections products. Each product is labelled with either 2023 edition or 2023 edition update. Please be mindful of the associated version of the product used.
