AndrewRomford Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I heard this on a radio show recently. If this is accurate, can anyone on the ground in Melbourne give a general picture of who all these new Melbourne Residents are - if it is in the general 'news, radio etc' 1. People moving from Rural victoria into the city? (Looking for work) 2. People moving from other countries such as the UK, NZ ect 3. Just lots of different people...from who knows where At this rate, the infrastructure must be creaking in some parts. Interesting numbers....about 5,000 per month. This must be putting strains on the rental market, transport, schools somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Unfortunately it is putting strains on resources especially in the outer new suburbs. When we moved there it was fields beyond Berwick now it's new suburbs, new estates all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flag of convenience Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Not only in Victoria the strains on infrastructure is noticable in Perth as well. All very well bringing in many thousands of new folk but provision needs to be made to cater for the increased numbers. WA has the highest growth in Australia at the moment. Not sure what they are all doing as can't all be in the mines surely? Already areas like teaching appear to have an excess of folk seeking few positions. In certain respects it is good in the sense Perth is starting to raise itself from a long slumber...but no point just allowing folk to come here and think somehow it will sort itself out.
