SEQ the drawcard

Beautiful one day...

...interstate migrants the next.

Annual interstate migration to Queensland is still rising, now up to +25,000.

That's the highest since the mining boom days of 2006.


Total population growth in the state rose to +85,000, which is the highest since the peak of the resources investment boom in 2013, albeit with slightly different drivers this time around. 

Annual population growth in FY2018 was strong nationally at nearly 400,000, driven largely by net overseas migration and young migrants from China, India, and other parts of Asia.

I'll look at the figures around the traps in more detail next up.
