The nation's first population strategy "completely rejects" the concept of targets, Sustainable Population Minister Tony Burke says.
The plan, which will be released by the federal government on Friday, does not set a target number and rejects the view population growth is for the nation and the economy, The Australian newspaper reported on Friday.
"We are completely rejecting the concept of targets. And we are also rejecting the concept that (population) growth is automatically good for its own sake. It needs to work at the community level," Mr Burke told News Ltd on Thursday.
"The debate, when it started, was very much people wanting to find a one-size-fits-all approach, setting population targets for the entire nation.
"It's all about ... taking Australia community by community, and working out what the gaps are and having policies to fill those gaps."
Solutions to issues such as big-city congestion and lack of housing, services and infrastructure in regional growth areas should be found on a local level, the government says in the sustainable population strategy, which has been a year in the making.
