Australia’s two most populous states will play bridesmaids to Queensland on population growth for a few more years as the Sunshine states lures in more residents.
Australians flocked to Queensland during the COVID-19 pandemic and the trend towards warmer climes is tipped to continue to the detriment of NSW, Victoria and South Australia.
Australia’s two most populous states will play bridesmaids to their northern neighbour, however, with the latest Population Statement 2023 showing Queensland forecast to be the fastest growing state until at least 2023-24. Similarly, NSW’s population had been expected to dip into negative territory in 2021-22, which was avoided thanks to border restrictions being removed.
