Each month, thousands of cash-strapped and disillusioned Sydneysiders are packing up and leaving the city in search of a better way of life.
New South Wales had the highest rate of exodus of any state or territory in the September 2018 quarter, with most departing locals heading north to Queensland.
“Our two-bedroom unit in Dee Why wasn’t going to be sufficient anymore, so we started looking for somewhere else to live,” Ms Sladden told news.com.au., the cost of a home large enough for their growing family was still going to be prohibitive. “It was beautiful on the northern beaches but this is something else. It wouldn’t have been as much fun in Sydney with so much debt and far less money,” she said.
Australian Bureau of Statistics data showed 11,490 people moved from NSW to the Sunshine State in the three months to September, with another 7239 residents relocating to Victoria. “You can afford a nice family home without having nothing left over. It gives people breathing space and financial options that you might not get in Sydney and Melbourne.”
