Hi all, building on Andrew's great work, I've provided an Overpass query
below that allows users to change population cutoffs to see how different
values affect which places are categorised as cities, towns, villages and
hamlets.

I agree with others that setting up a long list of services is probably
unworkable, and would prefer to focus on population cut offs as the key
criterion, with secondary, minor consideration to a very short list of key
services. However, can we focus on what the key cut offs are before we
Thanks Andrew. You are clearly well-informed on the availability and use of ABS
data.
Population size correlates fairly closely with the range and level of services
that are available in a place. I support using population data to determine
city/town/village/hamlet classification.

It seems to me that the presence and types of services correlate reasonably
