Use these interactive maps to find out how many people have moved into your neighbourhood from NSW and Victoria.
At least one in 10 residents in many beachfront Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast suburbs moved there from NSW or Victoria during the five years to 2021 as part of an exodus from southern states into south-east Queensland.
KPMG urban economist Terry Rawnsley said the warm climate in south-east Queensland coupled with relatively affordable housing had underpinned the population flow from NSW and Victoria.“You can cash in your property in Brighton or Bondi and get something cheaper and/or larger in Burleigh Heads or Noosa.”
A big source of new Gold Coast residents were NSW towns and suburbs close to the Queensland border including Tweed Heads, Banora Point and Kingscliff. The Gold Coast grew by 12.4 per cent between 2016 and 2021 while Greater Brisbane’s population rose by 11.2 per cent in the period.
