The projections are based upon actual values obtained in 2015, and estimates obtained for 2016. A full list of all projections, including historical projections, can be found at http://apps.treasury.act.gov.au/demography/projections/act.
These population projections are not intended to present predictions of the demographic future to any degree of reliability or precision.
The population projections contained here are the projected population resulting from certain assumptions about future trends in fertility, mortality and migration trends.

Future population trends are influenced by a variety of social, economic and political factors, with significant fluctuation in short-term population growth rates as well as in the underlying social, economic and political influencers. Numerous behavioural assumptions are required to be made for each age cohort and sex. Many of these assumptions will be swamped by the random impacts on the future movements of individuals through births, deaths, and relocation.
Neither the authors nor the ACT Government give warranty in relation to these projections, and no liability is accepted by the authors or the Government or any other person who assisted in the preparation of the publication, for errors and omissions, loss or damage suffered as a result of any person acting in reliance thereon.

A dataset of public barbeques in the ACT.

This spread sheet shows all of the State Suburbs for the ACT and the % of the 15-64 year old population within each Socio-Economic Indexes for Individuals (SEIFI) IRSD group. The data used to create this information was the same as used in the research paper “Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas: Getting a handle on individual diversity within areas” by Phillip Wise and Rosalynn Mathews. It is advised that this paper is read to further develop an understanding of the concepts and caveats associated with the analytical output contained in the spreadsheet.

Group 1 – Approx. most disadvantage 20% of the 15-64 year old population
Group 2 – Approx. second most disadvantaged 20% of the 15- 64 population
Group 3 – Approx. second least disadvantaged 30% of the 15-64 year old population
Group 4 – Approx. least disadvantaged 30% of the 15-64 year old population

Please also note that not all ACT CDs have been included as their populations are below the ABS population count threshold (<3), those removed are:
- 8013801 in Reid
- 8012805 in Turner
- 8014302 in Kingston
- 8021701 in Unclassified ACT
- 8010110 in Bonner
- 8023401 in Tharwa
- 8010103 in Unclassified ACT
- 8014305 in Kingston
- 8014803 in Forrest

It should be noted that multiple Compact Discs of data make up this dataset, as a result the data for each suburb is distributed across several discs. This cccounts for the multiple rows of data that appear for each suburb.

Unverified data in this dataset. The data displayed may have undergone no or only preliminary quality assurance checks. These data may require modification as a result of calibration changes, power failures, instrument failures etc.

The ACT Vegetation Map classifies native and derived vegetation across the ACT at 1:10,000 scale into 64 plant communities as at 2023, Australian Capital Territory, Australia.

The product includes the following attributes :

umcID – Upper Murrumbidgee Catchment vegetation ID (unique vegetation code)(after Armstrong et al 2013)

vegCommunity – vegetation community name (after Armstrong et al 2013 and Baines et al 2013)

tecACT - listing name of the ACT threatened ecological community (may require field inspection to verify)

tecEPBC - listing name of the EPBC threatened ecological community (may require field inspection to verify)

tecID - ID of ACT threatened ecological community

actConservationStatus - listing status of the vegetation community under the Nature Conservation Act

epbcConservationStatus - listing status of the vegetation community under the EPBC Act

pctCode - ACT plant community type code

treesp1-3 – dominant tree species

shrubsp1-3 – dominant shrub species

groundsp1-3 – dominant ground cover species

canopyCover – canopy cover % (based on 1m 2020 LiDAR canopy cover model)

height_mean canopy height (>3m) (based on 1m 2020 LiDAR canopy height model)

underCover – understory/shrub cover % (1-3m) (based on 1m 2020 LiDAR shrub model)

structure – overall vegetation community structure – e.g. woodland, forest, grassland

formation – Keith Formation - broad classification of native vegetation type in NSW and ACT. Formation can be further divided into Keith Class (Keith 2004)

Dataset of ACT Government 2019-2020 budget capital works program.

This data set is a record of planned road closures within the ACT based on the submission of Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) plans. This data contains all information recorded since the implementation of an ESRI Survey 123 solution to handle TTM Applications.
