Bohle Plains lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends

Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Bohle Plains' population was around 10800 as of November 2025. This reflected an increase of 2285 people from the 2021 Census which reported a population of 8515 people. The change was inferred from the estimated resident population of 10000 from the ABS as of June 2024 and an additional 767 validated new addresses since the Census date. Bohle Plains' population density ratio was 107 persons per square kilometer, providing significant space per person and potential room for further development. Bohle Plains' growth of 26.8% since the 2021 Census exceeded the SA4 region's growth of 6.9%, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth was primarily driven by interstate migration contributing approximately 62.4% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including natural growth and overseas migration were positive factors.

AreaSearch adopted ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections released in 2023 based on 2021 data were adopted. These state projections did not provide age category splits; hence proportional growth weightings were applied in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections for each age cohort released in 2023 based on 2022 data. Future population dynamics anticipated a significant increase in Bohle Plains' top quartile of Australian non-metropolitan areas, with an expected increase of 2683 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers reflecting a gain of 17.4% over 17 years.

The level of residential development activity in Bohle Plains was found to be higher than 90% of real estate markets across the country

Bohle Plains averaged approximately 177 new dwelling approvals annually. Between FY2021 and FY2025889 homes were approved, with an additional 108 approved in FY2026 so far. Over the past five financial years, each dwelling has attracted an average of 2.2 new residents per year, indicating strong demand that supports property values.

The average construction cost for these dwellings was $285,000, below regional levels, suggesting more affordable housing options for buyers. In FY2026, commercial approvals totalled $10.2 million, demonstrating moderate commercial development activity. Compared to the rest of Queensland, Bohle Plains has shown 383% higher construction activity per person, offering greater choice for buyers and reflecting strong developer confidence in the location. All new constructions have been standalone homes, maintaining the area's traditional low-density character with a focus on family homes.
