Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Beaudesert

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Beaudesert has an estimated 16,878 residents, up from 14,674 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,204 people, or 15.0%. Growth has averaged 2.3% a year over five years, faster than 84% of areas nationally. 835 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 87.2% of that increase. Density is about 10 people per 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

Assessments from AreaSearch indicate that the population of Beaudesert stands at approximately 16,878 as of May 2026. Compared to the 14,674 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a rise of 2,204 people (15.0%). This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 16,642 as of June 2025 combined with 835 validated new addresses identified after the Census date. The population density is registered at 10.4 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious environment for residents. With its 15.0% expansion rate since the 2021 census, Beaudesert outpaced the national average (9.3%) and the state, establishing itself as a key regional growth leader.

This upward trend was largely fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 87.2% of the population growth in recent periods. Projections published in 2024 by ABS/Geoscience Australia, utilizing 2022 as the starting point, are used by AreaSearch for SA2 regions. For locations lacking this information, or for periods after 2032, projections for SA2 areas from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and using 2021 data are substituted. Because age-specific breakdowns are absent from these state-level figures, AreaSearch applies relative growth distributions matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (issued in 2023, utilizing 2022 data) across different age groups. Future demographic models suggest population expansion will exceed the median of areas assessed by AreaSearch, with the locality projected to add 2,611 persons by 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP data, representing a total rise of 14.1% over 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Beaudesert

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

1,118 new dwellings have been approved in Beaudesert over the past five years, an average of 223 a year. That places the area in the 91st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 13 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 193 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 84% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 166, well below 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

Local planning authorities have approved roughly 223 residential structures annually, amounting to 1,118 new dwellings over the previous 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 153 residential building permits have been logged. With an estimated influx of 1.6 new inhabitants annually per finished dwelling over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), local housing creation aligns closely with population growth, supporting a balanced market where the expected construction cost of new dwellings averages $300,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $31.2 million during this financial year, pointing to strong commercial expansion and investment in the community.

Per capita construction levels in Beaudesert match those in Greater Brisbane, maintaining a balanced supply of new real estate. This pace of development is significantly higher than the national standard, reflecting high builder interest in local development opportunities. The composition of new housing projects consists of 84.0% detached homes and 16.0% medium and high-density structures, maintaining a low-density urban layout characterized by single-family properties suited for buyers seeking larger plots. Having approximately 52 residents for each approved home building application shows that the district displays key indicators of an expanding growth corridor. Long-term urban forecasts indicate that Beaudesert will accommodate an additional 2,375 people by 2041, according to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Considering ongoing construction trends, the volume of new residential projects is anticipated to easily satisfy this growth, keeping purchasing options favorable and potentially allowing the community to expand at a faster rate than current models predict.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Beaudesert

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

7,108 residents of Beaudesert are employed, from a labour force of 7,574. Unemployment sits at 6.2%, with participation at 55.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. 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 labour market in Beaudesert is comprised of a diverse mix of professional and manual trades, with building and construction workers representing a notable portion of the local workforce, alongside an overall unemployment rate of 6.2%. In March 2026, there are 7,108 employed community members, with the local jobless rate standing 1.8% higher than the Greater Brisbane level of 4.3%, while the local participation rate of 55.3% is considerably lower than the regional benchmark of 70.4%. Self-reported Census data indicates that a moderate 14.3% of the working population performed their duties from home, though these figures were likely influenced by pandemic restrictions.

A large share of local jobs is held in building trades, medical and community care, and shops. The regional job market is highly specialized in farming, forestry and fishing activities, with employment concentration in this sector reaching 9.7 times the wider regional proportion. In contrast, the professional and technical services sector is underrepresented, employing only 3.7% of workers compared to the broader regional average of 8.9%. Comparing the Census figures for locally employed individuals against the overall resident workforce suggests a shortage of job opportunities within the immediate boundaries of the area. Evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch show that over the 12-month period, the local workforce contracted by 2.6% and the number of jobholders fell by 3.0%, leading to an increase of 0.3 percentage points in unemployment. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded a 3.2% expansion in employment and a 3.4% rise in its labour pool, alongside a 0.1 percentage point increase in joblessness. Future hiring trends in Beaudesert can be analyzed using the May-25 national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia. These national forecasts, which project job changes over five and ten years, are applied to local industries to model future demand. On a national scale, job numbers are projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector performance varies. Adapting these trends to the local workforce composition indicates that employment within the area could rise by 5.7% over five years and 12.2% over ten years, using a basic weighted model that excludes local population changes.

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 — 835 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (14,674 at the 2021 Census → 16,878 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (311011305). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Beaudesert SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Beaudesert page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Beaudesert data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jun 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
