What geographical areas are co-operatives located in Australia?
In mid 2001, about 45% of all co-operatives were located in the major cities: Sydney, Melbourne, etc. while the rest was located in rural areas. The percentages between city-based co-operatives and rural co-operatives differ from State to State. In Victoria, around 65% of co-operatives were city-based but in NSW, only around 40% of co-operatives had registered addresses in Sydney and its suburbs.
