    Bunbury, Western Australia fits your criteria above.

    The list of LGA’s by population is interesting, but I’m not really sure how useful it is to list Newcastle in that way. Assuming the LGA has 165,000 people but the population of Newcastle metro area is well over 300,000 – actually I thought it was even more than that. Also as a resident of SEQ I think it’s a stretch to call Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Ipswich “regional” cities. A Queenslander doesn’t really consider them regional, more a part of SEQ. Especially Ipswich, which is included in the metro population of Brisbane. If you’re not including Gosford/Central Coast NSW or Mandurah WA as regional cities then I don’t see how you can include Ipswich – all three are included in the population figures for their metropolitan neighbour.
