Why Queensland?
Within the economic success story that is Australia today,Queensland
represents a state economy that is on fast forward. On
going world demand for natural resources and agricultural
products
coupled with the steady northward migration of people and
skills have created boom-like conditions that are set
to continue
for years to come. Steady business investment has helped
to drive the strong growth in Queensland.
Over 1500 people arrive in Queensland each week, mainly
from the capital cities in donor states where soaring
property
prices and ever-longer working hours have led to a virtual
migration
of families in a quest for cheaper housing and improved
earnings prospects.Queenslands population is forecast
to grow from
4 million to 6.5million by 2031, an increase of almost
53% within
the next 25 years.
