Data files and papers for the 2013 release of the NSW population projections.

The scheduled release of a 2013 set of NSW population projections had to change after the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) announced a major review of its local area population estimates back to 1991. This is because the ABS had introduced improved methodology which is making its data more accurate.

Releasing a special set of preliminary projections in 2013 gave users of NSW population information more up-to-date data to inform decision making while a full review was finalised. The finalised set of NSW population projections was released in 2014.

These projections have since been superseded. The latest release (at November 2025) is the 2024 NSW population projections, published in November 2024. The 2024 projections are available at https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/data-and-insights/population-projections.

Official NSW population projections are updated twice in a five-year cycle. The schedule for these updates is linked to the timing of Australia's census.
