මෙම ජනගහනය අනුව ඔස්ට්‍රේලියානු නගර ලැයිස්තුව සකසා අැත්තේ ඔස්ට්‍රේලියානු සංගණන බියුරෝව මගින් ඒක්නෙකට වෙනස් නිර්නායක කිහිපයක් භාවිතා කිරීමෙනි. පළමුව, ඔවුන් ප්‍රධාන අගනගරයන් හා අාශ්‍රිත නගර සැලකිල්ලට ගෙන අැත. දෙවනු වගුවේ දක්වා අැත්තේ විශාල ගම්බද නගර හා පාලන අායතනසැලක්ල්ලට ගත් කල අැති අගයන්ය.

ජනගහනය අනුව විශාල නගර හා තදාසන්න ප්‍රදේශ (GCCSA) / සැලකියයුතු නාගරික ප්‍රදේශ (SUA) 
සෑම අගනගරයක්ම , ඒයටම අයක් වූ ප්‍රධාන නාගරික හා තදාසන්න ප්‍රද‌ේශයකින් සමන්විතය (GCCSA), මෙම ප්‍රද‌ේශ,   ඔසට්‍රේලියානු සංඛ්‍යාලේඛන බියුර‌ෝව  (ABS) මගින් නම්කරන විශාල සමාජ හා ආර්ථික තත්ත්ව නිර්ණායකයන්ට අදාලව නිර්ණය කරනු ලබයි. These correspond to the more common and international usage of metropolitan areas. Significant Urban Areas are similarly defined but include population centres which are not capital cities. In Australia the population of the GCCSA/SUA is the most-often quoted figure for that city's population. The following ranks GCSSAs and SUAs which are not included within the GCCSAs with populations of over 30,000.

Greater Capital City Statistical Areas are in bold, the remainder are Significant Urban Areas.

Urban Centres are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics as being a population cluster of 1,000 or more people. For statistical purposes, people living in Urban Centres are classified as urban. The figures below represent the populations of the contiguous built-up areas of each city; with State and territory capitals in bold. These figures are only updated every census, as the ABS does not render population projections for Urban Centres, and as such can only be as up-to-date as the most recent census year.

Local government areas are the main units of local government in Australia. They may be termed cities, shires, councils or other names, and all function similarly. Brisbane, which covers multiple LGAs, is the only state capital city with a local government area covering a significant portion of its urban area. Other capital cities are serviced by LGAs which cover a much smaller proportion of their total urban areas. A New South Wales review of local government areas resulted in various amalgamations of local government authorities in the state, reflected below. Where marked a new'', the local government authority did not exist in this format at the  and the population is based on an amalgamation of 2015 Australian Bureau of Statistics population figures.

The following table lists local government areas ranked by order based on the estimated population as sourced from the .

Apart from the City of Brisbane, the populations of the central local government areas in other capitals is relatively small. As at 2015, Melbourne had , Darwin , Hobart , Adelaide  and Perth . Generally speaking, there are many suburban local government areas in most Australian capitals that are significantly larger in population than the central business district local government area.
