The line graph illustrates changes in population growth across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane over a 24-year period, from 1992 to 2016.
Overall, Melbourne experienced the most substantial and uninterrupted rise, eventually becoming the fastest-growing city. Sydney’s trend was far more volatile, while Brisbane showed only modest and steady increases throughout.
At the beginning of the period, population growth in Melbourne stood at roughly 20,000, lower than both Sydney and Brisbane, which each recorded around 30,000. However, by 1998, Melbourne overtook Brisbane and matched Sydney at approximately 50,000, despite a brief surge in Sydney’s figures to above 60,000.
From 2001 onwards, Melbourne’s growth accelerated markedly, rising from 40,000 to just under 90,000 by 2010, before reaching a peak of over 110,000 in 2016. In contrast, Sydney fluctuated significantly: it dropped to around 40,000 in the early 2000s, rebounded to nearly 70,000 in 2010, and then climbed more gradually to above 80,000 by the final year.
Brisbane, by comparison, remained the slowest-growing city. Its figures hovered between 30,000 and 40,000 for most of the period, with a slight rise towards 50,000 by 2016.
