In the 2024-25 financial year the ABS recorded 163 dwelling approvals across Strathpine. AreaSearch tracks 25 major projects here that are committed or under construction, the largest being Supernode (Quinbrook Supernode Data Centre & BESS) at an estimated $3.00bn. On the ground, 574 new addresses have been verified since the 2021 Census — growth of 3.4% on the existing address base.
These four figures are deliberately not added together. An application, an
approval and a project under construction are often the same building at three points in its life,
measured by three different bodies with three different lags. Read them as a sequence, not a total.
ApprovedBuilding Approvals in Strathpine
What councils and certifiers have formally
permitted — the ABS series, published about four months in arrears.
Approvals are running at 0.45 per 100 existing dwellings a year, below the Queensland rate of 0.77. The mix is genuinely split — 68% of recent approvals are detached houses and 32% are attached or higher-density dwellings. Detached houses make up 79% of the homes already standing here but only 70% of the past five years of approvals, so the area is densifying. The average approved dwelling is valued at $332,000 in construction cost.
For its size, Strathpine is adding 0.45 dwellings a year per 100 existing homes — below the Queensland rate of 0.77 and the national rate of 0.71. That is about 3.8 approvals a year for every 1,000 residents. Building intensity has been broadly stable across the published series.
Measured against people rather than housing stock, Strathpine is approving 5.25 dwellings a year per 1,000 residents — below the Queensland rate of 6.67. The two rate views differ by household size, which here averages 2.7 people per home. Housing the projection to 2041 would need about 6.25 per 1,000 residents a year.
Dwelling approvals a year per 100 existing
homes, with Queensland and Australia for comparison. This is the
same activity as the totals view, divided by the size of the area — which is the only
fair way to compare a large SA3 with a small one.
Dwelling approvals a year per 1,000
residents, each year divided by that year’s estimated resident
population (ABS ERP at 30 June), not by today’s — which matters most in fast-growing
areas, where a fixed denominator can understate the early years by half. The most recent periods use the latest published ERP, as the population series runs a year behind approvals. Read it alongside the per-100-homes view: the two differ wherever household size does.
Dwelling units approved each financial year. The dashed line is the five-year average of 165.

Supply & DemandIs Strathpine Building Enough Homes?
The same approvals, measured against the population
they have to house.
Strathpine approves about 3.8 new dwellings a year for every 1,000 residents. Since the 2021 Census it has added 3,755 residents but only 574 new addresses — about 6.5 extra people for every home built, against an average household of 2.7. On those numbers supply has not kept pace with growth. Housing the population projected for 2041 implies roughly 272 new dwellings a year from here, which puts the recent approval rate of 165 a year behind what the projection needs.

People added per new home6.5
Average household size2.7
A bar longer than the household average means
the area gained more residents than its new housing could hold, and the extra had to be
absorbed by existing homes.

What is being asked for right now — applications
collected from council planning portals, before any of it reaches the ABS series above.
AreaSearch tracks applications of material scale; routine minor works such as signage and
fencing changes are not carried, so these are not counts of every application lodged. 2
of them carry an AreaSearch analyst assessment — look for the
Analysed marker in the search below.
AreaSearch tracks 228 development applications of material scale lodged with council across Strathpine, the most recent in March 2026. The most common types in the queue are industrial, retail and commercial.
Number of applications by development type. This is the clearest
single picture of what kind of place Strathpine is being asked to become. Councils in
Queensland do not publish an estimated cost of works in
their planning feeds, so applications here are counted rather than valued. A further 1 application sit across

DistributionWhere Development Is Happening in Strathpine
Strathpine covers 4 statistical areas. Follow any of them through for a full profile of population, housing, sales and amenity at local scale.
Map builder
Each area below opens a map builder on its own page — a tool for
putting a map and a table into a report. Pick the place types you want plotted
(schools, supermarkets, medical, child care, transport and the rest of what
AreaSearch holds), add development applications as their own layer, drop your own
points, then recolour, renumber and export the result as a table or CSV.
A this area only toggle clips everything to the boundary you are looking at.
Searches are charged against your credit balance — 1 credit per 40
results from AreaSearch data — and setting filters costs nothing until
you search. The builder works on one suburb-sized area at a time, which is why it
opens per area rather than across the whole of
Strathpine.
Development in Strathpine is assessed within the Moreton Bay local government area. AreaSearch publishes development
figures at ABS statistical boundaries rather than council boundaries. That is deliberate: the ABS
issues a separate official building-approvals series for local government areas, and totals
built up from statistical areas would not match it. Reporting at SA3 keeps every figure on this page
reconcilable with the published ABS series.
CompareNearby Development Hubs
The same view of building approvals, applications and
major projects for areas neighbouring Strathpine.
Collected from council planning portals. The
earliest signal available, but the least certain: many applications are amended,
withdrawn or refused, values are the applicant’s own estimate, and coverage
varies by council. This is a curated set, not the full council feed:
AreaSearch carries applications of material scale and does not track routine minor
works such as signage, fencing or small alterations, so the counts here are lower
than a council’s own total lodgement figure and should not be compared with it. Applications still shown as under assessment more than
18 months after lodgement are reported separately
and kept out of the live-queue figures: the age profile of open applications is
sharply split between a genuine queue under a year old and a long tail of records
councils never closed. Not every state publishes a cost of works — Queensland,
the Northern Territory and the ACT publish none at all — so on those pages
applications are counted rather than valued and no dollar figure is shown
rather than a partial one. Treated here as a snapshot of the current queue only —
AreaSearch does not chart application counts over time, because the history
reflects when each portal was collected rather than when development happened.
Approved — ABS building approvals
The official series, aggregated to SA3 from
ABS building approvals data, currently published to June 2026.
Counts dwelling units approved, not buildings and not completions. The most recent
financial year is annualised from nine months of data wherever it appears and is
labelled as such.
Building — major projects
Projects tracked individually by AreaSearch
from Infrastructure Australia, state infrastructure agencies, developer disclosures
and council records. Values are estimates and delivery dates are targets. Ranked on
this page by committed value and delivery stage rather than by distance.
Delivered — verified new addresses
New residential addresses verified in the national
address register since the 2021 Census. This is the closest available measure of what has
actually been built, though address creation can lead occupation and lags
construction. It is not a completions count.

Development in Strathpine — common questions
How many new dwellings were approved in Strathpine?
The ABS recorded 163 dwelling approvals across Strathpine in the 2024-25 financial year, against a five-year average of 165 a year.
How many development applications are lodged in Strathpine?
AreaSearch tracks 228 development applications of material scale across Strathpine — routine minor works such as signage and fencing are not included, so this is not a count of every application lodged. Applications are assessed within the Moreton Bay local government area. The most recent application in our data was lodged in March 2026.
What major projects are planned for Strathpine?
AreaSearch tracks 25 current major projects in Strathpine, 13 of them under construction. The largest include Supernode (Quinbrook Supernode Data Centre & BESS), Supernode Brendale Data Centre and BESS and Quinbrook Supernode BESS and Data Centre Campus.
Which council covers Strathpine?
Strathpine is an ABS Statistical Area Level 3. It is covered by the Moreton Bay local government area. AreaSearch publishes development figures at ABS statistical boundaries rather than council boundaries, so they reconcile with the official ABS series.
Is Strathpine growing faster than the rest of Queensland?
On development approvals, Strathpine is adding new dwellings more slowly than Queensland as a whole — 0.45 approvals per 100 existing dwellings a year against the state figure of 0.77.
How current is this development data?
ABS building approvals are published with a lag of roughly four months; this page carries the series to June 2026. Development applications are collected from council planning portals and refresh continuously, with the most recent application here lodged in March 2026. Major project records are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Each section carries its own currency label so the four are never confused.
Development data is provided for general information.
Estimated values, dwelling counts and delivery dates come from the lodging or delivering party and
are not independently verified by AreaSearch. Confirm anything material with the relevant council
or agency before relying on it.
