Regional Jobs, Population and Migration in New South Wales
Regional Australia is changing, and with this transformation comes boundless opportunities to rethink what regional Australian means. Change is also bringing many challenges for our regions with regional jobs, population and migration on the agenda in NSW.
Sydney’s outer suburban population could double by 2056, to 7.4 million people, putting enormous pressure on the city’s resources. With supporting policies to maximize education and employment opportunities, as well as job creation initiatives in regional areas alongside increased population growth, a more widely distributed population growth outcome may achieve superior levels on these economic indicators.
Regions Rising NSW is part of the RAI’s national roadshow where we use our evidence based research to present the facts, we bring key regional stakeholders together, and we work to change the narrative of regional Australia.
The focus for this Regions Rising event is on Regional Jobs, Population and Migration in New South Wales with NSW Deputy Premier, The Hon. John Barilaro, sharing his vision for Regional NSW in the keynote address.
