New centre to track where migrants settle in Australia

The Centre for Population will track where new migrants decide to settle and will advise the government on how to reduce the strain on major cities. The centre, which is being set up inside the federal Treasury, will be responsible for coordinating the work of state and territory authorities, academics and think tanks with the goal to better predict how Australian's population will grow and advise the government on the best ways to encourage growth away from capital cities.
