Regional Australia Institute releases The Big Movers report

Today, the RAI has released their latest myth-busting report, The Big Movers, which unpacks population trends around the country, and confirms that regional Australia attracted more people than it lost to capital cities during the last Census - 65,204 more to be precise.

Between 2011 and 2016, more than 1.2 million people either moved to regional Australia or moved around regional Australia from one location to another. More than 500,000 of these people moved from a capital city to the regions.

You can find out where the top five regional areas are in your state or territory by checking out their Factsheet, or dive deeper and read the full report on their website.

Alternatively, join them for a free webinar tomorrow at 10.30am (AEST), where CEO Liz Ritchie will lead an expert panel, including RAI Chief Economist, Dr Kim Houghton, REA Group Chief Economist, Nerida Conisbee, and Murray River Council Mayor, Chris Bilkey, will also join the panel.

Key insights from the report will be presented, and the pre- and post-COVID-19 impacts for property as seen by realestate.com.au, as well as the success factors for a growing inland region.

Get in quick - registrations close today at 6.00pm AEST!
