Melbourne becomes the most populous city in Australia
For the first time in a century, Sydney has ceded its top spot as Australia’s most populous city to Melbourne.
Sydney has proudly led this list for 100 years, but with the population expanding in Melbourne’s outskirts and boundary changes in the city, Melbourne’s population has surpassed Sydney with 4,875,400 people.
The Australian federal government predicts that in the years 2031-2032, the megacity of Melbourne will also be larger than the megacity of Sydney.
