Australia has over 130 skyscrapers —buildings which reach or exceed heights of 150 metres (490 ft))— complete or under construction, all spread throughout five cities of the country.

Of Australian cities which comprise skyscrapers, Sydney constructed the first skyscraper in the country in 1967,[1] followed by Melbourne in 1972,[2] Brisbane and Perth in 1988,[3][4] and most recently, the Gold Coast in 2004.

[5] Most skyscrapers in Australia are concentrated in the Eastern states (Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria), whilst a smaller number are located in the Western Australia state capital, Perth.

The cities with the highest number of skyscrapers have traditionally been either Sydney or Melbourne since the 1970s.
