How can your community entice people to #makethemove?

Every day people from capital cities and overseas are choosing to make the move to regional Australia.

Some are attracted by the opportunity to settle down; buy their first home, start a new job and or a family. Others are entering a new stage of life and are making their favourite holiday destination their full-time home.

Whatever you are looking for in your move, there is a strong chance you will find it in regional Australia.

To help people make the move, many regional communities are using locally led initiatives to help attract and retain new people. These initiatives vary in their approach; offering cheap rent, organising events to help international migrants settle into the community and projects to connect new arrivals with local services and facilities.

The Regional Australia Institute is showcasing local initiatives helping to attract new people to regional Australia.

Put your region on the map and share with us how your community is attracting and retaining new people in your area.
