The Department of Treasury published its latest set of population projections in the
2010-11
Government Mid-year Financial Projections Statement
(Mid-Year Review) in December 2010.
Since these projections are mainly used by Treasury to inform its economic and revenue forecasts for the State as a whole, the projections are not broken down into the Perth or other regions. Treasury does not produce or publish long-range population projections to 2031.
