New state residents are moving to Victoria at their fastest pace in 10 years, and Melbourne is expected to become Australia's most populous city in the 1930s.
More than 5000 residents moved out of the state in the first quarter of June, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. In fiscal year 2017-2018, a total of 21,000 residents of leave moved to New State, the fastest pace since 2008, with most of them choosing to move to Victoria. The state's population grew by 13,999 over the same period.
In fiscal year 2017-2018, the number of new-born babies was 52,000 higher than the number of deaths and the number of immigrants was 88836. The net value of newborn babies in Victoria is 39,700, and the number of immigrants is 84143.
Immigration growth has raised concerns about infrastructure capacity. But data show that without immigration, the two cities' population growth rate will be difficult to significantly exceed the natural growth rate.
An increasing number of Australian-born women have chosen to postpone or give up births, reducing the number of births per parent to 1.74 births. In 2007, that number was 1.99.
But overall, although Australia's fertility rate has fallen, population growth has reached 1.6%, far behind Papua New Guinea's (Papua New Guinea), among the 20 countries surveyed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Twice as much as the United States and Canada. Most of the growth fell in Sydney and Melbourne, with as much as 60% immigrants.
Melbourne's population growth rate is among the highest in developed countries, rising 2.53 percent since 2011, compared with just 1.8 percent in Sydney. Since 2011, the city of Melton, north-west of Melbourne, has grown by 5% a year.
The southward migration of new state residents, combined with an influx of immigrants from abroad, could bring Melbourne's population to 7 million in 2036, surpassing Sydney. According to more radical estimates, Melbourne's population will catch up or reach 10 years ahead of schedule-by 2026, Melbourne's population will be 6.1 million, and the new state's population will be 6.2 million.
In addition, the new data could serve as a reason for Mosuisse (Scott Morrison) government to guide more migrants to rural areas. Of the new immigrants in fiscal year 2016-2017, only 4.3% chose to settle in remote areas of the new state, 4% chose to settle in Adelaide,2% outside of Grand Melbourne, Victoria, and less than 1% chose remote areas in Western Australia, Darwin or Horbart.
