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
Banana has an estimated 9,316 residents, up from 8,817 at the 2021 Census — a change of 499 people, or 5.7%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. Natural increase accounts for 42.1% of that increase. 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
According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Banana stands at approximately 9,316 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 499 individuals (5.7%) compared to the 8,817 residents documented in the 2021 Census. This population adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 9,297 alongside 21 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such population numbers translate to a density of 0.30 persons per square kilometer, ensuring a spacious environment for residents. This 5.7% expansion rate since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (4.5%), positioning the area as a local growth frontrunner.
Natural increase was the main driver, accounting for roughly 42.1% of the population rise in recent times, though all indicators including interstate and overseas migration remained positive. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 localities, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this data, and for all years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilising 2021 baseline data) are applied. Because these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using proportional weights derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Future demographic forecasts points to a downward trend in the overall population, with a projected reduction of 448 residents by 2041 under this framework. Conversely, expansion is predicted within particular age brackets, led by the 25 to 34 age cohort, which is expected to rise by 194 individuals. Refer to the age section for further details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
67 new dwellings have been approved in Banana over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, broadly in line with 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
Banana averages approximately 13 residential building approvals annually, with a total of 67 homes approved over the preceding 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 11 recorded so far in FY-26. With an average of 8.3 new residents per year arriving for each finished dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand runs well ahead of new supply, which typically drives up prices and intensifies competition among buyers, even as new homes are built at an average value of $309,000—below the wider region's average—offering more budget-friendly purchasing options.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $9.1 million this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential character of the locality. Relative to the Rest of Qld, Banana displays slightly elevated construction activity (39.0% higher than the regional average per capita over the 5 year period), which helps maintain options for buyers while supporting current property demand. This volume is nonetheless lower than the national level, indicating a mature market and pointing to possible development constraints. New construction consists of 90.0% standalone homes and 10.0% attached dwellings, maintaining the low-density footprint of the area through a focus on detached houses that appeal to buyers wanting space. An estimated ratio of 612 people in the area per single dwelling approval highlights a quiet, low-intensity construction landscape. As demographic forecasts point to stable or decreasing numbers, Banana is anticipated to experience lighter pressure on housing demand, which should benefit prospective purchasers.

Toowoomba to Gladstone Inland Rail Extension
A proposed freight rail extension from the Inland Rail terminus at Toowoomba to the Port of Gladstone, spanning approximately 500km via Miles, Banana and Moura through Central Queensland. The project is being jointly led by the Australian and Queensland governments. Technical work for the Preliminary Evaluation phase of the business case was completed in 2023 under the Queensland Government Project Assessment Framework, and both governments are currently considering those findings to determine next steps. The Australian Government has committed $10 million to the business case, with TMR providing an in-kind contribution.The extension aims to build resilience in the national freight network, support thermal coal, hydrogen, alumina and emerging resource industries, and complement the primary Melbourne-to-Brisbane Inland Rail route.
Theodore Water Treatment Plant Upgrade
Stage one of the upgrade to the Theodore Water Treatment Plant.
Banana Range Wind Farm
The Banana Range Wind Farm is a 452 MW renewable energy project featuring 75 turbines across two stages in Central Queensland's Renewable Energy Zone. The project includes a large-scale battery storage system and a 44km 275kV transmission line connecting to the Calvale Substation. It is expected to power 270,000 homes annually and support approximately 150-350 construction jobs.
Theodore Wind Farm
RWE Renewables Australia, through Theodore Energy Development Pty Ltd, is developing the Theodore Wind Farm about 22 km east of Theodore and 50 km south-west of Biloela in Banana Shire, Queensland. The project has Queensland state development approval for up to 170 wind turbines, a 240 MW battery energy storage system, ancillary infrastructure and a potential solar component within the broader investigation area. It is proposed to deliver about 1.1 GW of generation capacity, supply electricity for around 500,000 Queensland homes, support up to 500 peak construction jobs and provide a long-term community benefit fund.As of May 2026, the project remains in the Federal EPBC assessment process, with the draft Public Environment Report comment period closing on 6 May 2026. Initial operations are targeted from 2027, with full operation expected in 2029.
Callide Solar Power Station
Edify Energy is developing the Callide Solar Power Station north-east of Biloela within the Callide Renewable Energy Zone. The project is planned for up to 240 MWp of solar PV and a 200 MW / 800 MWh battery energy storage system, with development approvals in place. Edify states the project is in development phase, with construction now anticipated around Q2 2027 and a 30 month construction period. The project is expected to support about 250 construction jobs and around 10 operational jobs.
Baralaba Solar Farm
Baralaba Solar Farm is an approved but long-dormant utility-scale solar photovoltaic project proposed by FRV Australia (Fotowatio Renewable Ventures) on cleared grazing land roughly 4 kilometres from the township of Baralaba in Queensland's Banana Shire. FRV lodged a Material Change of Use application with Banana Shire Council in December 2014 and Council issued its decision notice approving the development on 28 October 2015. The project is sized at approximately 115 MWp (about 92 MW AC) across a site of up to 520 hectares, using single-axis tracking modules that follow the sun from east to west.Its key advantage is location: the site adjoins an existing substation, giving direct access to the national electricity grid without lengthy new transmission. At the time of approval FRV estimated up to 200 jobs during an 18-month construction program originally flagged for 2017. That construction never commenced. FRV continues to list Baralaba in its Australian portfolio as "Under Development", but the project does not appear in Banana Shire Council's Renewable Energy Projects Pipeline as updated in November 2025, and it has been absent from FRV's recent Australian financing, construction and acquisition announcements, which have focused on Walla Walla, Terang, Gnarwarre, Axedale and Dalby. On that evidence the project is best treated as approved but shelved, with no confirmed construction start, no announced offtake agreement and no published financial close. Banana Shire is meanwhile hosting a very large pipeline of newer renewable projects, including the Moura Solar Farm, Smoky Creek and Callide solar power stations and several wind farms, which may affect grid capacity and the commercial case for reviving Baralaba.

5,352 residents of Banana are employed, from a labour force of 5,481. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 73.7%. 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. 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 evenly distributed between white and blue collar occupations, with manufacturing and industrial sectors heavily represented, alongside an unemployment rate of only 2.4%. As of March 2026, there are 5,352 employed residents, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.6% below the Regional Qld level of 3.9%, and labor force participation is exceptionally high (73.7% relative to 64.3% in Regional Qld). Census records indicate that a moderate 23.7% of working residents operated from home, though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions must be taken into account. Local employment is largely centered around agriculture, forestry & fishing, mining, and health care & social assistance.
The region exhibits an exceptionally high concentration of workers in agriculture, forestry & fishing, with a share that is 7.0 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 7.2% of the local workforce, which is lower than the 16.1% average for Regional Qld. The presence of 0.7 workers for every resident at the time of the Census indicates a higher-than-average volume of local job opportunities. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that over the 12-month period, the total labour force shrank by 5.0% while employment dropped by 4.4%, leading to a 0.6 percentage point decrease in unemployment. This stands in contrast to Regional Qld, which recorded a 0.1% rise in employment, a 0.3% increase in the labour force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context on future demand trends within Banana. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although total national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion rates vary widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the current workforce mix in Banana suggests local employment could expand by 4.4% over five years and 10.5% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not incorporate local 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 — 21 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,817 at the 2021 Census → 9,316 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.
