More About Queensland

Queensland, the second largest state in Australia, is about the size of seven Great Britains put together and boasts of a Wonder of the World — the Great Barrier Reef (for the uninitiated, it is the largest living system on earth). Called the “Sunshine State” because of almost 266 days of sunshine (and 8-9 hours of it) in the year, Queensland is home to Fraser Island, world’s largest sand island. With so much going for it, it attracts a lot of people and migrants form about than one-third of its 4.6 million-strong population.

Because of its proximity to global markets, skilled workforce, a great legal framework, awesome infrastructure, Queensland has always been a favourite of investors, with Brisbane being a top pick. That, combined with the state delivering approximately $5.6 billion in rebates and concessions to households in the 2018 budget, has made it a popular destination for people who want to relocate to Queensland, all while the property sector is booming! The budget also includes a grant of over $338 million for housing and upgradation of existing facilities and over $1.5 billion for infrastructure projects across the state.

Because of its reputation for natural heritage sites (it has 5 out of the country’s 11) and awesome outback locations for thrill seekers, Queensland seems to have a lot for everyone and attracts approximately 24 million local and foreign tourists every year. Around 10% of Queenslanders are directly or indirectly employed by the tourism industry and contribute more than $12.7 billion towards Queensland’s economy. Other important industries include manufacturing, aerospace, defence, biotechnology and mining and are billed as the “priority” industries by the Queensland government.
