Melbourne has become the most populous city in Australia.
For the first time in a century, Sydney has relinquished its position as the most populous city in Australia to Melbourne.
Sydney has proudly held the top spot on this list for 100 years, but with population growth in Melbourne’s suburbs and border changes in the city, Melbourne’s population of 4,875,400 has surpassed Sydney’s.
The Australian federal government has predicted that by the years 2031-2032, the metropolitan area of Melbourne will be larger than the greater metropolitan area of Sydney.
