Australia is growing as is the population of the Northern Territory, but the growth in the Northern Territory is cyclical, with patterns associated with employment, the economic cycle, and strongly linked to variable interstate population increases and decreases. Annual population growth rates in the Northern Territory are highly volatile, and since 1990 have ranged from population contraction to a growth rate three times the national growth rate. These volatile population growth patterns are influenced by the NT’s small population base and the cyclical nature of mining, construction and infrastructure development.
