The state is expecting to receive over $17 million across the next three years as interstate arrivals will ‘pay for the privilege’ to move to Queensland.
From July 2022, new arrivals will be required to pay roughly $80 to transfer their driver’s licence.
Queensland is expected to receive 61,700 people over the next few years.
Treasurer Cameron Dick claims this decision is a small price to pay for new Queenslanders, who will pay less tax compared to other states, particularly New South Wales.
