Queensland has never been hotter. Sure, it’s been the best place for many years now (and I’m not just talking about the weather), but lately I’ve noticed a lot more people talking about moving here. Maybe you’re one of them? Maybe you’re even reading this article because you want to check out Queensland’s hottest spots and see if any of them are for you. You could be looking at our state as a place to settle down or just visit on holidays, but either way, I’m sure we have something special waiting for you! So if you need help deciding where to put down your roots—or whether or not migrating here is right for your needs—keep reading:
The Gold Coast is the state’s fastest-growing urban area.
The Gold Coast is the fastest-growing urban area in Australia. It’s also the third largest city in Queensland and one of the most visited tourist destinations in Australia. The Gold Coast is home to some of the world’s best beaches, including Surfers Paradise Beach, which is famous for being one of the most popular beaches in Australia!
The Gold Coast has been named as one of thirteen Global Cities by Partners for Growth – a group made up of international organisations including UBS, EY and KPMG – due to its growing economy and population growth rate.
Central Queensland has seen the biggest growth in jobs.
Why is everyone moving to Queensland?
Central Queensland has seen the biggest growth in jobs. The region is home to three of the top 10 fastest-growing cities in Australia and has a diverse economy, with resources, agriculture and tourism providing opportunities for job seekers.
The resources sector has been particularly strong for Cape York Peninsula, with coal prices on an upward trend and thermal coal exports up 50 per cent since 2017.
Additionally, there are opportunities in agribusiness across Central Queensland: from beef cattle grazing through to cotton growing; from sugar cane cultivation through to the production of flowers for export; or even mangoes grown on behalf of North Rockhampton’s famous Fruity Hill Orchards (the world’s largest producer).
There’s a lot of job opportunities in the resources sector.
There are many reasons why people move to Queensland. One of the most common is the job opportunities in the resources sector. The resources sector (which includes mining, oil and gas) is a major employer in Queensland and an important part of the economy.
The state’s largest city, Brisbane, has been growing continuously for over 20 years – but it’s not alone: Townsville, Mackay and Cairns all saw strong population growth over those two decades too.
A lot of this growth was driven by migration from other states – especially New South Wales – but it also received a boost from overseas migrants arriving on temporary visas looking for work in one of its many mines or oil fields.
It seems like everyone is moving to the Sunshine State.
You may wonder why so many people are moving to Queensland. Here are the top three reasons:
- Job opportunities: The average salary in Queensland is $55,500 per year, which is higher than the national average of $53,000 per year. The state has also seen a significant increase in jobs since 2012 and it’s expected that this trend will continue into 2022.
- Affordability: Did you know that you can save around 50% on your mortgage repayments by living in Queensland? This means that you could buy an extra house for yourself or retire earlier (if only our parents had thought about this when we were growing up). If you don’t have any debt at all – congrats! You can start investing straight away! And if you do have some debt – well at least now there’s hope!
We’re seeing population increases in all parts of our state.
Queensland’s population is increasing. We’re seeing population increases in all parts of our state, which is great news for anyone who wants to be a part of Queensland’s growth and development.
The good news is that we’re seeing population increases in all parts of our state at the same rate. That means you can go anywhere in Queensland and know that the area you choose will have plenty of opportunity for you!
Or maybe you want to live right by the beach? There are plenty of places on our coast where you can do just that—and they’re growing at an incredible rate!
People are coming from all over the world to settle here.
Queensland is a great place to live and work, be it for a lifestyle change or career progression.
People from all over the world are moving here every day. When you consider Queensland’s proximity to Asia, Europe, and the Americas it makes sense as a home for many people.
The number one reason why people are moving here is because of our economy. We have an expanding job market that can’t be beat by other states in Australia or across the globe. As well as being great places to work some companies offer exceptional training programs that help employees grow professionally while they’re on their journey towards securing full time employment within their field of expertise!
Queensland is now the third largest state in Australia by population.
Queensland is now the third largest state in Australia by population. Queensland has grown by about 1.8 million people since 1991, which is more than any other state or territory in Australia. Its growth rate is 2.4%, which is higher than any other state or territory in Australia (except for Western Australia). This means that Queensland will double its population over the next 30 years if its current growth rate continues.
Migration into Queensland has shot up recently.
Queensland has experienced a boom in migration over the past year, with more than 100,000 people moving there. This is a 9% increase over the previous year and an increase of nearly 10% from other states. As a result, Queensland is now third most populous state in Australia after New South Wales and Victoria.
This trend is likely to continue as Queensland offers great opportunities for job seekers, especially young professionals looking to get into their field or students looking for work experience before graduation.
Queensland is a great place to live, with an abundance of natural beauty and opportunities for employment. So why wouldn’t people want to move here?
