Melbourne residents contemplate move to countryside

Recent studies have revealed that Melbourne residents from suburbs such as Essendon want to move to regional or rural Victoria. This is because they want a better quality of life. The survey was made up of 2,000 Melbourne residents.

Researchers believe that the survey results mean that Melbourne residents are now considering alternatives to living in a big city. The reasoning behind their desire to move are diverse. Some motivating factors included wanting to raise a family in a smaller town, having more community involvement, employment opportunities and housing affordability.

Experts have stated that a more even population distribution would be beneficial to the economy and environment. The infrastructure of Melbourne needs to be updated due to population growth. Due to this, the government is trying to encourage people to move into surrounding areas.

In the meantime, Melbourne residents will need to plan their move. Those who cannot move for a few years may want to try enjoying the outdoor areas in Melbourne. The city is well known for its gardens. People who want to get away could opt to take weekend trips to surrounding areas and towns. This could help satisfy their hunger for country life.

Businesses can also profit from this trend. Hotels, motels, bars and restaurants surrounding Melbourne could encourage visitors to check them out. This can be done by using printing services to make up brochures and flyers. Melbourne residents will find that they will not have to venture too far out of the city to enjoy some greenery.
