How to read the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River figures: 6 things to know

  • The people counted are approved applicants who have not yet had their ceremony, including those already invited to one, at 31 October 2026.
  • The time is how long each of them had been waiting since approval at that date. It is not the full wait of people who have already had their ceremony.
  • Applications still waiting for a decision are not in these figures. They are counted on the citizenship processing time page.
  • Councils with 1 to 4 people waiting are shown as "<5". The Department masks these for privacy.
  • Council shares are the Department's own, rounded, so they may not add up to 100%. State and Australia shares are our totals, weighted by the number waiting in each council and rounded to add up to 100%.
  • The Department publishes only the current month. We started keeping a copy on 13 November 2026, so this page has no earlier history.
