OUR REGION

South East Queensland is one of Australia's most desirable & fastest growing regions

South East Queensland attracts people from around the world because of its climate, livability, economic opportunities, quality education, biodiversity, natural assets and affordable living.

It is home to around 3.5 million people and is expected to grow by almost 2 million people over the next 25 years.

This growth is exciting, but it brings with it some inherent challenges in managing the region to ensure all the demands on these resources are balanced, so future South East Queensland can continue to be a frontrunner as a region where people love to live, learn, work, invest and visit.
