Sydney is seeing now more than ever a trend arising to move away from the city centre and even the Greater Sydney region, residents are choosing to opt for a quieter more affordable lifestyle in regional centres. Sydney’s population grew by 1.8 per cent while for the rest of the state it was up 1 per cent to reach 2.8 million. In the regions, the fastest growing included Byron Shire on the North Coast, Albury on the NSW-Victorian border and Cessnock in the Hunter Valley which has recently been names one of Australia’s top destinations.
