CSIRO and the Tech Council of Australia have published a report exploring the geography of Australia's digital industry. They found that there are "96 digital technology industry clusters" across Australia accounting for 62% of the nation's tech jobs and 4 "super-clusters" - The Sydney Arc (20% of Australia's digital occupations employed here), The Melbourne Diamond (16%), The Brisbane Corridor (5.6%) and the Canberra Triangle (3.3%). The top suburbs for software programmers are Lavender Bay & Redfern in Sydney, Docklands in Melbourne and Greenway in Canberra, all with over 6x the number of people calling themselves programmers than the national average. Interesting report to flick through, but I don't know what this means in the age of remote working. The phrase "remote working" isn't mentioned once in the entire document.
