Population Mobility, Victoria
| Page tools: | ||
NAME OF ORGANISATION Understanding why people are moving away from regional areas, or motivations to consider moving to regional areas will be valuable in working out mechanisms to attract people to regional areas or stop them from leaving. A better understanding of the linkages between employment and mobility, as well as an understanding of what could work to attract people to regional areas will assist the government in developing strategies to attract people to work in these areas. Meeting the housing and service needs of the population is also an important issue. Understanding the main reasons that people choose the suburbs and houses that they do will allow better planning.Understanding why people are moving away from regional areas, or motivations to consider moving to regional areas will be valuable in working out mechanisms to attract people to regional areas or stop them from leaving.
