I've just been reading a Dutch magazine and it looks like there are a few improvements in store for the MY04 206 (you'll have to trust my Dutch :) ).

* New 1.4 16V Engine - 65kW (auto to still soldier on with 55kW 1.4 8V)

* Tiptronic to be introduced on the automatic gearbox.

* ABS standard on most models (about time!)

* ESP standard on 2.0 CC & GTi.

Some of the above may not necessarily filter down to Australia, but the introduction of a 16V 1.4 is a welcome addition (I'd expect to eventually see this in the C3 too). The current engine is a bit behind the times.
 
Another thing, curtain airbags to be introduced across the range, except in the most basic version the Pop Art (except if specified with the automatic gearbox).

Black/red interiors from the CC will be available in the sportier 206 variants.

Bear in mind, this is for the Dutch cars and we know Peugeot Australia isn't the most generous when it comes to choice (eg. 307, you can have your interior in any colour as long as its black!)
