Population growth in regional Queensland has also been strong, new Bureau of Statistics figures show.

Brisbane has experienced the strongest population growth of any capital city in Australia, trumping Sydney and Melbourne, despite the travel restrictions associated with the pandemic.

“Queensland is a very decentralised state, more than half of the population lives outside of Brisbane. “Whereas even when the international borders open, Sydney and Melbourne won’t see the three growth channels, they’ll only see overseas migration and natural increase, they still won’t see the interstate migration,” he said.

“That highlights this growing bridge as the Gold Coast heads north and Brisbane heads south, this continuous metropolis across south-east Queensland,” Mr McCrindle said. “Queensland will be the hotspot for a time and some years because of lifestyle and affordability,” he said.
