The Harvey Region is once again in the National spotlight, with new data from the Regional Movers Index confirming an influx of people making the move to the region.
The report, using Commonwealth Bank data, shows migration to regional areas remains 40% higher than pre-COVID levels — and the Harvey Region is one of the standout destinations recording a massive 194.5% increase and achieving top 5 status in the Nation.
According to CBA’s acting executive general manager of regional and agribusiness banking, Josh Foster, the Harvey Region’s growth is being fuelled by increased investment, competitive property prices, job opportunities, and its prime location near Bunbury and Mandurah.
A growing trend of subdividing larger farming properties into smaller lifestyle blocks is also contributing to the Harvey Region’s appeal and rising property values. The area’s charm, connectivity, and balance of lifestyle and opportunity are making it a top choice for those looking for a change of pace.
With this steady population growth, the Harvey Region continues to position itself as a vibrant and welcoming regional hub for those seeking space, community, and a better quality of life.
