Metro represents the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) category: ‘Major Cities of Australia’. Regional represents the ABS categories: ‘Inner Regional Australia’ and ‘Outer Regional Australia’. Remote represents the ABS categories: ‘Remote Australia’ and ‘Very Remote Australia’. Tasmania and Northern Territory will have their allocation of Metropolitan moved to Regional due to the absence of metropolitan areas in these locations.
