.. sql, pl/sql, xml, d2k , report developer..If you go to Brisbane, chances are you'll end up moving to either Melbourne or Sydney for work opportunities.

10k minimum
Isn't the Brisbane IT market divided into 2 locations; Gold Coast and Brisbane CBD. Wonder how people travel among home, Brisbane CBD, GC , Sunshine coast for job purposes. e.g. your clients may be divided among 3 cities and you may need to attend 3 meeting at different places in a day
At least in Melbourne all jobs are in the CBD which is superly connected

Re: Melbourne or Brisbane ??
I'd say having at least 3 months rent + 1 month deposit in the bank might help. So if you are looking at $350/week for rent, that's already $6,000 minimum. You will have to add setting up costs (furniture, connection to utilities, etc.) and living expenses (food, travel, bills) for at least 3 months to that if you don't have a job when you arrive. I'd say the strict minimum to have in your bank account would be about $10,000 for any real estate agent to look at you if you don't have a job.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Additional largish cities near by are usually a plus not a negative.

Can Sydney and Brisbane beat it
Sydney too has lot of jobs on Northern Beaches side.. In case of Brisbane and Sydney jobs outside of CBD proximity are much more though. I guess 20% for Sydney and 30% for Brissie.

Re: Melbourne or Brisbane ??
If you work some someone like the council I guess you could be expected to travel around their various offices.
Reminds me, must cast my eye over the job ads ...

Re: Melbourne or Brisbane ??
I would imagine the figures are something like 90%/9%/1% for Brisbane / GC / Sunshine Coast. (That could be being generous to the Gold Coast).
I worked as a consultant in Brisbane for 4 years, working at client sites. In that time I went to the GC for 2 hours and the Sunshine Coast for 5 days.
As said, interstate travel is far more likely.
