For further information see the ABS publication, Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS): Volume 1 – Main Structure and Greater Capital City Statistical Areas, July 2011 (cat. There are approximately 50 with fewer than 30,000 people and 35 with more than 130,000 as at 30 June 2011. SA3s generally have a population of between 30,000 and 130,000 people.
They are designed to provide a regional breakdown of Australia. There are 333 spatial SA3s covering the whole of Australia without gaps or overlaps. The aim of SA3s is to create a standard framework for the analysis of ABS data at the regional level through clustering groups of SA2s that have similar regional characteristics. Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3s) are geographic areas defined in the ABS Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).
