Hi Garry71,
Try http://www.domain.com.au and go to suburb snapshot, type in suburb or postcode, that will give you SOME basic info.
Also try one of the search engines, yahoo or google, type in “SUBURB NAME population” (type name of suburb followed by the word population in your search) and also try going to governing council website for more info re the area.
Hope that helps (for starters).
Cheers,
Jo

Sorry Rob,
But sadly http://www.property.com.au has been taken over by http://www.realestate.com.au and as part of the deal it seems they no longer have the FREE suburb report available (not since I last looked a week ago). [glum2]
Which is a real pain…as it was a very valuable piece of info offered for free!!!!
Cheers,
Jo

YAY…..BEN….YOU’RE A LEGEND!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!!
I had forgotten that the suburb report provided through http://www.property.com.au was indeed by rpdata.com.au and I didn’t even think to try their site!!!
This will be very helpful to anyone who was (like me) disappointed by property.com.au not having this facility any longer, but now thanks to you, we know where to go (hmmmmmm???) [blush2][lmao]
Cheers,

If you’ve narrowed your search to one or two ares then ring the councils as well, some are very helpful at giving info about their area.
