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 Surrounds has an estimated 5,273 residents, down from 5,356 at the 2021 Census — a change of 83 people, or 1.5%. The population has thinned by an average 0.8% a year over five years, slower than 97% of areas nationally. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
AreaSearch evaluations estimate the population of Moree Surrounds to be roughly 5,273 as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 2021 Census tally of 5,356 residents, this represents a contraction of 83 people (1.5%). The figure is derived by combining the ABS estimated resident population of 5,271 recorded as of June 2025 with 43 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. With a resulting density of 0.30 persons per square kilometer, the locality affords considerable living space for occupants. The community's 1.5% contraction stands in contrast to the broader SA3 area, which expanded by 0.5%, demonstrating contrasting regional demographic trajectories.
Natural increase served as the primary growth engine locally, underpinning around 88.8% of all recent population additions. Population projections produced by ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline) are applied to each SA2 location, while any unrepresented areas draw upon NSW State Government SA2 forecasts (released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline). Projected age-cohort growth rates derived from these datasets are further utilized across all areas between 2032 and 2041. Going forward, the district is projected to experience demographic expansion slightly trailing the non-capital city median, gaining 476 persons through to 2041 according to recent annual ERP data, which equates to an overall 9.0% rise across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Residential construction across Moree Surrounds remains subdued, logging an average of 3 approvals annually (equating to 17 dwellings over the five-year period). Modest building volumes of this nature are typical of regional districts where building activity is restricted by local demand and infrastructure limits alongside modest accommodation requirements. Because of this limited baseline volume, singular projects possess the ability to alter annual growth figures and relative comparisons significantly. Building approvals across Moree Surrounds trail Rest of NSW by a considerable margin and sit substantially below countrywide levels. Approved residential construction is divided between standalone houses at 67.0% and townhouses or apartments at 33.0%, showing an increasing presence of multi-unit structures that provide diverse accommodation options across various budget levels, ranging from larger family homes to compact, accessible layouts.
This shift contrasts with the standing housing supply (where houses account for 93.0%), reflecting both a constrained supply of developable land and an evolving lifestyle preference toward varied, affordable housing typologies. A ratio of 1317 people per approved dwelling highlights the quiet development pace across the area. Demographic modelling suggests Moree Surrounds will add 474 residents by 2041 according to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If dwelling construction remains at current levels, residential supply may struggle to keep pace with demographic expansion, potentially driving up purchasing competition and supporting price appreciation.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Inland Rail - North Star to NSW-Queensland Border
This section connects North Star to the Queensland border, involving the upgrade of 25km of non-operational track and the construction of 5km of new track, including a 1.8km viaduct over the Bruxner Highway, Whalan Creek, and Macintyre River, 10 bridges, and a crossing loop.
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 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.
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.
Inland Rail - Narrabri to North Star - Phase Two
Phase Two of the Narrabri to North Star project involves upgrading approximately 13km of existing track crossing the Mehi-Gwydir floodplain from Alice Street, Moree to the eastern side of the Moree Gun Club, plus construction of approximately 2km of new track at Camurra, north of Moree. The project includes 1,100 drainage culverts, redevelopment of nine level crossings, rebuilding of eight bridges, and a 1.3km spur to reconnect the Weemelah line. Environmental approvals are currently being finalized with DPHI, and site investigations are continuing through 2025.
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 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.
3,179 residents of Moree Surrounds are employed, from a labour force of 3,271. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 78.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 4.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,595, about 87% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. 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 labour force in Moree Surrounds is well skilled and spans multiple industries, maintaining an unemployment rate of only 2.8%. Employed residents reached 3,179 as of March 2026, while the jobless rate sat 1.3% below the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW, alongside an exceptionally strong participation rate of 78.7% compared with 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census records indicate that 19.2% of workers performed their duties from home, though this figure was likely shaped by pandemic movement restrictions. Resident employment is primarily anchored by agriculture, forestry & fishing, education & training, as well as health care & social assistance.
Specialisation in agriculture, forestry & fishing is pronounced, with local representation reaching 9.5 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 6.8% of the local workforce, lagging behind the 16.9% recorded across Regional NSW. Comparing the Census working population against resident totals indicates a relatively constrained volume of internal job positions. Analyses conducted by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS figures indicate that the labour force contracted by 2.1% while employment fell by 3.2% during the twelve months leading up to March 2026, which resulted in unemployment increasing by 1.1 percentage points. By comparison, employment in Regional NSW dropped by 0.9% and the labour force shrank by 0.4%, leading to a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. Moree Surrounds may benefit from examining Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections published for Mar-26 to understand potential future demand. These forecasts span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid with the local employment composition to project growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% within five years and 13.7% within ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industries. When these sector-specific expectations are applied to Moree Surrounds's job mix, local employment is anticipated to rise by 4.4% over five years and by 10.2% over ten years, though it is important to note that this represents a basic weighting extrapolation intended for illustration only and does not incorporate localized population forecasts.

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 — 43 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,356 at the 2021 Census → 5,273 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 Aug 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (110031196). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
