This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Moree has an estimated 8,027 residents, up from 7,845 at the 2021 Census — a change of 182 people, or 2.3%. That puts 116 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to evaluation by AreaSearch, the population of Moree stands at approximately 8,027 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 182 residents (2.3%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 7,845 individuals. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 8,020 alongside 24 validated new addresses identified after the Census. With this population level, the density stands at 115 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and capacity for future expansion. The growth rate of 2.3% since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (0.5%), positioning the locality as a regional leader in population gains.
Natural increase was the main driver of growth, accounting for roughly 72.9% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 areas, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. In cases where this data is unavailable, SA2 level projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are applied. Demographic age bracket growth rates derived from these sources are extended to cover the years 2032 to 2041. Projections indicate a substantial population expansion in the upper quartile of regional locations across the country, with this specific area forecast to grow by 2,392 individuals by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP figures, representing a 16-year increase of 29.7%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
23 new dwellings have been approved in Moree over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 0.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 14, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential development approvals in Moree average approximately 4 dwellings annually, totaling 23 approved homes over the preceding 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 13 during FY-26 so far. Because the population decreased over the prior period, the incoming supply has likely matched local demand, providing buyers with adequate options, with new homes constructed at an average cost of $397,000—a figure exceeding regional averages that suggests a focus on quality. Furthermore, commercial approvals valued at $10.1 million have been logged in the current financial year, demonstrating ongoing commercial investment.
Relative to the Rest of NSW, Moree experiences approximately three-quarters of the per capita construction volume, placing it in the 11th percentile of all analyzed locations nationwide, which restricts choice for buyers and reinforces demand for existing properties, even though building rates have risen recently. This level of activity also falls below the national average, suggesting a mature market and potential developmental barriers. All recent building permits have been for detached houses, preserving the established low density aesthetic and emphasizing spacious family residences. This construction pattern is more heavily weighted toward detached housing than the existing mix (83.0% at the Census), highlighting persistent demand for single-family homes despite density trends. A ratio of 1500 people per dwelling approval highlights the quiet pace of local development. Looking forward, Moree is projected to add 2,385 residents by 2041 based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If development remains at current levels, the volume of housing may not keep pace with population expansion, which could intensify competition among buyers and support upward pressure on prices.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Moree Hospital Redevelopment
A 105 million AUD transformation of Moree Hospital delivering a new purpose-built Acute Services Building. Key features include an expanded emergency department, modern operating theatres, medical imaging, birthing and inpatient units, and pathology services. As of early 2026, the project has reached the structural phase with concrete pours finalized and works progressing on the roof and internal partitions, alongside the demolition of the Crane and Glennie buildings.
Moree Special Activation Precinct
A NSW Government-led Special Activation Precinct designed to leverage Moree's location on the Newell Highway and the Melbourne-Brisbane Inland Rail to attract investment in high-value horticulture, agrifood processing, freight and logistics, and renewable energy. The masterplan covers 4,716 hectares with a 40-year vision to create up to 4,000 jobs. In March 2026, the NSW Government adopted a scaled-back delivery approach proposed by Moree Plains Shire Council, reducing the initial activation area from 300 to around 100 hectares of fully serviced government-owned industrial land and from 3.3 km to about 1.9 km of new road, in order to limit ongoing maintenance costs to ratepayers.Stage 1 enabling infrastructure works (roads, drainage, water, sewer and electrical services) are valued at around 79 million dollars, with NSW Public Works having closed tenders in late 2025 and contract award expected in 2026. A 13.5 million dollar Essential Energy zone substation upgrade is anticipated for completion in 2027. Construction works on Stage 1 are scheduled to commence in 2026.
Moree Regional Airport Upgrades
Staged upgrades to Moree Regional Airport led by Moree Plains Shire Council to increase capacity and resilience for passenger, freight and aeromedical operations supporting the Moree Special Activation Precinct. A multi-stage apron expansion was completed in mid-2024, enabling regular Q400 aircraft operations and larger arrivals such as RAAF C130J-30 Hercules. In February 2025 the Australian Government committed 1 million AUD under the Regional Airports Program to upgrade the northern apron, taxiway and three parking bays, establishing a 24-hour aeromedical facility for emergency retrieval services.Earlier stages delivered runway, taxiway and apron lighting upgrades including a Precision Approach Path Indicator system, funded jointly by the NSW Restart NSW Fund, the Australian Government's National Stronger Regions Fund and Council. Further terminal and runway enhancements remain flagged in planning documents to align with growth from the adjoining Special Activation Precinct.
Moree Water Treatment Plant Upgrades
Planned upgrades to the Moree water treatment system to improve drinking water security, treatment reliability, monitoring and capacity. Current Moree Plains Shire planning documents continue to identify water treatment works under the Integrated Water Cycle Management program, alongside other water infrastructure upgrades across the shire.
Moree Secondary College Campus Consolidation
The project consolidated Moree Secondary College's two campuses into a single operational campus at Albert Street, with associated minor upgrades and works to enable one-site delivery from Term 1 2024.
Aboriginal Housing Development Program - Moree
Affordable housing program led by the NSW Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) to deliver culturally appropriate homes for Aboriginal families in Moree, with community-oriented features and design. Recent AHO activity in Moree includes delivery of modular duplex homes via contracted builders; this record tracks a broader 45-dwelling program across the township.
Moree East Public School Redevelopment
Substantial rebuild and refurbishment of Moree East Public School delivering around 15 new and refurbished classrooms, two shared learning spaces, a new hall and library, and upgrades to community hub facilities to support modern teaching and learning.
Burnt and Derelict Housing Remediation Program
Program to remediate burnt and derelict housing throughout Moree, improving community safety and housing availability.
4,359 residents of Moree are employed, from a labour force of 4,624. Unemployment sits at 5.7%, with participation at 72.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The local workforce is characterized by strong representation in essential service industries, with an unemployment rate of 5.7%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 4,359, while the unemployment rate was 1.6% higher than the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, and participation in the labour force was exceptionally high (72.0% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW). Census data indicates that only 6.5% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 restriction periods. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, agriculture, forestry & fishing, and education & training.
The region exhibits a distinct concentration in agriculture, forestry & fishing, where the employment proportion is 2.1 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance is under-represented, employing 11.9% of the local workforce compared to 16.9% across Regional NSW. Although there are employment opportunities within the boundary, the relationship between the Census working population and local population suggests a significant number of residents travel outside the area for employment. AreaSearch evaluated SALM and ABS figures to show that between the 12 months ending March 2026, the labour force shrank by 2.1% while employment fell by 4.6%, leading to a 2.4 percentage point increase in unemployment. Meanwhile, employment in Regional NSW dropped by 0.9% and the labour force by 0.4%, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia released national employment forecasts from May-25 to help anticipate future demand in Moree. Those forecasts span five and ten year horizons and were aligned with Moree's current employment structure to project future growth. The national outlook predicts a 6.6% rise in employment over five years and a 13.7% rise over ten years, though sectoral growth varies considerably. When these industry projections are applied to Moree's job composition, local employment is expected to grow by 5.9% over five years and 12.4% over ten years (this reflects a basic weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and excludes local population projections).
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Moree is $1,494 a week (about $78,000 a year), with median personal income at $828 a week. ATO records put median taxable income at $57,223 a year against an average of $71,306. Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
Based on AreaSearch's compilation of postcode-level ATO statistics from the 2023 financial year, taxpayers in the Moree SA2 recorded a median income of $57,223 and an average income of $71,306. These figures exceed the national average and compare to regional NSW metrics of $52,390 (median) and $65,215 (average). Adjusting for a Wage Price Index increase of 10.32% since the 2023 financial year yields estimated values of approximately $63,128 for median income and $78,665 for average income in March 2026. The 2021 Census reports that individual income ranks at the 54th percentile ($828 per week), while household income ranks at the 35th percentile.
The dominant income bracket consists of 32.6% of residents (2,616 individuals) earning between $1,500 and $2,999 weekly, which aligns with the wider regional trend of 29.9% in this bracket. Housing costs are generally manageable, with residents keeping 88.1% of their income, though disposable income is below average at the 40th percentile.

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 24 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,845 at the 2021 Census → 8,027 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to May 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
