Recent figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) show that migration is increasing to South Australia. During the 12 months ending 31 March 2007, the Australian state recorded a net overseas migration gain of 12,600 people.

During the first quarter of 2007, net migration to South Australia was 4,800 -- the largest quarterly gain recorded by the ABS in 25 years.

ABS noted that for every year since 1986, with the exception of June 1993 and June 1994, a net increase in migration has contributed to South Australia's resident population.

The state has been actively recruiting overseas skilled professionals in an attempt to reach its population target of 2 million people by 2050.

"I think the state is doing an excellent job," said Michael Hickinbotham, Australian Population Institute chairman.

"It's a great example of a state government being proactive in the effort to grow the population in a responsible and sustainable way and it's supported by the federal government with the regional visa program," he added.
