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 andever-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.
