Australia’s changing population shift from cities to booming regional centres

Chris Halpin - Monday, December 05, 2011

 

Hello,

 
I hope that you had a good weekend.
 
There was a great article in The Australian that I wanted to share with you. It’s about Australia’s changing population shift from cities to booming regional centres. Please read when you have a moment.
 
Regions strike the mother load as mining boom bites
 
If you don’t have time to read the article the following are a couple of sentences from it.
 
"It's lifestyle v commodities," says Tim Lawless, research director at RP Data property analysts. "And, yes, I do absolutely think there'll be a population move, especially to major regional service centres, like Mackay, which services the Bowen Basin coal reserve."

For Western Australia, Haratsis names the main growth areas as Karratha, Port Hedland, Geraldton, Newman and Kalgoorlie. Of these, Geraldton has the cheapest housing, something that will be only a memory once the $5 billion Oakajee port and rail project gets approval.

To your success!!
