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
Beerwah has an estimated 10,673 residents, up from 9,255 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,418 people, or 15.3%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years, faster than 84% of areas nationally. 498 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 45.0% of that increase. Density is about 72 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
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Beerwah reached approximately 10,673 by Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,418 people (15.3%) compared to the 9,255 people recorded during the 2021 Census. Such growth is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 9,938 as of June 2025 alongside 498 validated new addresses registered following the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 71 persons per square kilometer, leaving substantial space per resident and ample capacity for upcoming construction. Outpacing both the Rest of Qld figure of 9.4% and nationwide benchmarks, Beerwah's 15.3% post-2021 census surge highlights its role as a key regional expansion hub.
Overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 45.0% of recent population additions, though natural increase and interstate migration also delivered positive contributions. Projections published jointly by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, utilizing 2022 as their baseline year, are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 regions. For post-2032 timeframes or SA2 locations lacking this coverage, 2023-released Queensland State Government projections underpinned by 2021 figures are utilized instead. Because those state models do not disaggregate by age brackets, AreaSearch integrates proportional growth distributions derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (issued in 2023 with 2022 baseline figures) across each demographic cohort. Driven by these anticipated shifts, local expansion is forecasted to track higher than the national regional median, with demographic gains projected at 1,711 persons through 2041 relative to recent annual ERP data, translating into an overall 16-year increase of 9.1%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
650 new dwellings have been approved in Beerwah over the past five years, an average of 130 a year. That places the area in the 85th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 130 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 33% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Annual residential approvals in Beerwah have averaged approximately 130 dwellings, amounting to 650 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Balanced market conditions were maintained between FY-22 and FY-26, when roughly 1.1 people arrived per newly constructed dwelling over the 5 financial years, while the last 2 financial years recorded a reduction to 0.5 people per dwelling, reflecting a notably steady supply environment. Estimated construction expenses for new residential dwellings average $375,000, which sits below regional figures and highlights cost-effective building opportunities. Furthermore, commercial building consents reached $25.0 million during this financial year, underscoring ongoing commercial capital expenditure.
Per-capita construction volumes in Beerwah align closely with the Rest of Qld, sustaining local stability that matches regional trends while substantially exceeding countrywide averages due to solid builder confidence. The current pipeline of residential work comprises 33.0% detached houses alongside 67.0% townhouses or apartments. This pivot toward higher-density dwelling options delivers economical entry points for first-home purchasers, downsizers, and property investors. This represents a distinct shift from the existing built environment (which consists of 88.0% houses), reflecting rising affordability considerations, changing household habits, and a tightening supply of greenfield residential land. The broader market shows continuous momentum, evidenced by a ratio of roughly 40 people per dwelling approval. Long-term forecasts based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update anticipate that Beerwah will gain 976 residents by 2041. Should current building activity persist, upcoming residential construction will easily accommodate anticipated demand, preserving favorable buyer conditions and potentially enabling expansion beyond current demographic estimates.

Beerwah East SEQ Development Area
Beerwah East is a 5,200-hectare SEQ Development Area (Category 2) under ShapingSEQ 2023 and the long-term preferred growth front for the Sunshine Coast. Subject to detailed planning, the area has the potential to accommodate up to around 35,000 dwellings and approximately 95,000 residents over the long term, with earlier estimates of 20,000 homes by 2041. The site sits between the Bruce Highway, Steve Irwin Way and Roys Road, with the planned Direct Sunshine Coast Rail Line (The Wave) running through it from Beerwah toward Caloundra and Birtinya.Most of the land is owned by the State and held under a 99-year HQPlantations forestry lease, with parts also subject to native title held by the Kabi Kabi First Nation. In March 2025 the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning conditionally endorsed the proposed Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme but directed Council to revert most of Beerwah East from Emerging Community zoning back to Rural, allowing only land not subject to native title to be zoned Emerging Community. Sunshine Coast Council subsequently identified two early-release parcels totalling about 45 hectares near the Beerwah Golf Course off Roys Road, bordered by Foley Road, as the first land to potentially come forward for residential development. The proposed planning scheme remains in the review process and is expected to progress through 2026, while the Queensland Government continues investigations alongside Council, HQPlantations and the Kabi Kabi First Nation to unlock the broader area.

The Queensland and Australian Governments each committed 2.75 billion AUD in March 2025 to deliver Stage 1.Pre-delivery activities including site investigations, reference design and procurement are underway, with major construction expected to start in early 2027, targeting completion in time for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Beerwah Marketplace Shopping Centre
Combined shopping precinct in heart of Beerwah featuring Woolworths, Fresh & Save, Khub, EG Fuel petrol station, banks and 40+ specialty retailers. Includes medical centre, optometrist, cafes and restaurants. Provides essential retail services for local community.
4,832 residents of Beerwah are employed, from a labour force of 5,077. Unemployment sits at 4.8%, with participation at 61.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% 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
Beerwah maintains an evenly distributed employment profile across professional and manual occupations, characterized by a standout building and construction workforce and an overall unemployment rate of 4.8%. As of March 2026, total employed persons stood at 4,832, accompanied by an unemployment level 0.9% higher than the Regional Qld figure of 3.9%, while the participation rate of 61.7% tracked below the Regional Qld rate of 64.2%. Census figures showed only 13.1% of workers operating from home, though pandemic-related movement restrictions during Covid-19 must be noted when interpreting this metric. Retail trade, construction, and health care & social assistance represent the primary sectors employing local residents.
The area displays a distinct concentration in construction, where its workforce share is 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, only 4.0% of local workers belong to public administration & safety, trailing the Regional Qld level of 5.9%. Comparisons between Census counts of resident workers and locally available jobs suggest an undersupply of proximate workplace opportunities. Analysis of ABS and SALM records by AreaSearch indicates that during the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 2.3% alongside an employment contraction of 3.2%, which lifted the jobless rate by 0.9 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Regional Qld experienced 0.1% employment growth, a 0.3% rise in the labour force, and a 0.1 percentage points uptick in unemployment. Further context regarding prospective local labor needs is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia projections from Mar-26. These five- and ten-year projections have been applied across Beerwah's existing industry profile. Across the nation, total employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. When mapped against Beerwah's industry distribution, projected local employment gains equate to 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (note that this represents a direct weighted extrapolation for demonstration and excludes localized demographic 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 — 498 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,255 at the 2021 Census → 10,673 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 (316061439). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
