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.

Detail
As of Aug 2026, demographic assessments by AreaSearch place the population of Bundaberg Surrounds - South at approximately 12,260 residents. This indicates an expansion of 1,482 people (13.8%) following the 2021 Census, when 10,778 people were recorded. Such growth is deduced from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 12,134 in June 2025 alongside 360 validated new addresses logged after the Census. This population density settles at 5.6 persons per square kilometer, ensuring a spacious residential setting. Outpacing both the SA3 area (9.3%) and the Rest of Qld, the local 13.8% increase since the 2021 census establishes the community as a regional growth standout.
Inward interstate migration served as the core engine for this expansion, making up roughly 89.1% of recent population additions. SA2 projections published in 2024 by ABS/Geoscience Australia utilizing a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch. Where SA2 coverage is absent, as well as for timeframes following post-2032, Queensland State Government SA2 figures released in 2023 with a 2021 base are incorporated. Because these state models omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch aligns age cohorts by applying proportional weightings from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (issued in 2023, based on 2022 data). Looking toward long-term demographic shifts, expansion is projected to track slightly under the national regional median, with the locality slated to gain 1,027 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP statistics, representing a 7.3% overall rise across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
524 new dwellings have been approved in Bundaberg Surrounds - South over the past five years, an average of 104 a year. That places the area in the 93rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year.

Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Dwelling approvals in Bundaberg Surrounds - South have averaged roughly 104 per annum, reaching 524 homes throughout the last 5 financial years. With roughly 3 new residents arriving annually per newly built dwelling across the previous 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), additions to residential stock fall well short of demand, intensifying buyer competition and applying upward pressure to prices. Concurrently, average construction values sit at $382,000—under the regional benchmark—pointing to comparatively accessible entry costs for new builds. In addition, $39.9 million in commercial building approvals occurred during this financial year, underscoring solid local enterprise investment.
Residential building in Bundaberg Surrounds - South tracks somewhat higher than the Rest of Qld (exceeding the regional per-capita rate by 29.0% over the 5 year period), which supports existing valuations while ensuring sufficient options for purchasers. Structural approvals are heavily dominated by detached houses at 97.0%, alongside 3.0% townhouses or apartments, sustaining a low-density character that draws buyers prioritizing larger lot sizes. Registering approximately 102 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical growth-corridor dynamics. Projections indicate that Bundaberg Surrounds - South will add 901 residents leading up to 2041 (anchored to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Should current building trajectories persist, forthcoming residential additions appear well positioned to accommodate demand, fostering favorable buyer conditions and potentially enabling demographic growth to exceed anticipated levels.

5,557 residents of Bundaberg Surrounds - South are employed, from a labour force of 5,768. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 54.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.3% 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
A balanced mix of blue- and white-collar roles characterizes the Bundaberg Surrounds - South labor market across multiple sectors, accompanied by a low unemployment rate of 3.7% and a 7.7% annual rise in estimated jobs. By March 2026, employed locals numbered 5,557, with joblessness resting 0.3% under the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld, though the participation rate of 54.6% trails the 64.2% seen across Regional Qld. Census records indicated that a modest 11.2% of workers operated from home, a metric subject to Covid-19 restrictions during that period. The top employing sectors for local residents include agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and retail trade.
A distinct concentration exists in agriculture, forestry & fishing, where the local employment proportion is 4.3 times higher than the regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for a smaller share, employing 12.8% of workers in Bundaberg Surrounds - South against 16.1% in Regional Qld. Comparing Census resident numbers to local workplace counts suggests that job openings within the immediate district remain relatively constrained. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM figures show that in the 12 months to March 2026, local employment climbed 7.7% alongside a 5.4% expansion in the labour force, resulting in a 2.0 percentage points reduction in the unemployment rate. This diverged from Regional Qld, which recorded a 0.1% employment uptick, a 0.3% labor force gain, and a 0.1 percentage points rise in unemployment. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide broader perspective on local prospects. These five- and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce distribution to model forward trends. Nationally, jobs are expected to grow 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with varying rates across industries. Applying these sector-specific rates to the industry distribution of Bundaberg Surrounds - South projects local job growth of 5.3% over five years and 11.8% over ten years (note that this represents an illustrative weighted extrapolation rather than a local population-adjusted model).

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 — 360 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,778 at the 2021 Census → 12,260 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 (319011499). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
