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
Bundaberg Surrounds - South has an estimated 12,255 residents, up from 10,778 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,477 people, or 13.7%. Growth has averaged 2.8% a year over five years, faster than 82% of areas nationally. 361 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 89.1% 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 Bundaberg Surrounds - South stands at approximately 12,255 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,477 individuals (13.7%) from the 10,778 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This growth is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 12,134 from June 2025 alongside 361 validated new addresses identified since the Census. The resulting population density is 5.6 persons per square kilometer, indicating a low-density environment with substantial space per resident. The 13.7% growth rate since the 2021 Census outpaced the SA3 region (9.1%) and the Rest of Qld, positioning the locality as a leader in regional growth.
The primary catalyst for this demographic expansion was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 89.1% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, which use 2022 as their baseline year. For any SA2 regions excluded from that dataset, or for projections extending past 2032, the Queensland State Government's 2023 SA2 projections based on 2021 data are used. Because these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using a 2022 baseline) for each age group. Looking forward, the area is projected to experience population growth slightly below the median for non-metropolitan regions across Australia, with an expected increase of 997 residents by 2041 compared to the latest annual ERP figures, representing a 7.2% overall expansion over 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
505 new dwellings have been approved in Bundaberg Surrounds - South over the past five years, an average of 101 a year. That places the area in the 93rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 79 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 128, running ahead of 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
An average of approximately 101 new residential building approvals are recorded annually in Bundaberg Surrounds - South, totaling 505 approvals over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and another 118 in FY-26 to date. Given that the area averaged 3.1 new residents for every built home during the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, residential supply is falling short of local demand, a scenario that typically intensifies buyer competition and drives up prices. However, newly constructed properties carry an average value of $294,000, which sits below the regional average and offers more budget-friendly entry points.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $39.9 million for the current financial year, pointing to active business investment in the community. Compared to the Rest of Qld, Bundaberg Surrounds - South registered a higher rate of development, running 42.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year timeframe, which helps preserve buyer options while underpinning local property values. Newly approved projects are heavily weighted toward detached houses at 97.0%, with attached dwellings making up just 3.0%, thereby preserving the low-density profile of the community and emphasizing spacious family properties. The local market registers about 124 people for every home approval, pointing to steady market expansion. Based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, the population of Bundaberg Surrounds - South is projected to increase by 876 people by 2041. Considering current building trends, the supply of new housing is expected to easily accommodate this demand, creating favorable buying opportunities and potentially supporting population growth that exceeds the baseline forecasts.

5,557 residents of Bundaberg Surrounds - South are employed, from a labour force of 5,768. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 54.7%. 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
The workforce in Bundaberg Surrounds - South displays a balanced distribution between professional and trade-based occupations across diverse industries, accompanied by an unemployment rate of just 3.7% and estimated job growth of 7.7% over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 5,557, with the local unemployment rate sitting 0.3% below the Regional Qld figure of 3.9%. However, the labor force participation rate of 54.7% is much lower than the 64.3% recorded across Regional Qld. Census data indicates that only 11.2% of the local workforce worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by past pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for residents in the area are agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The local representation in agriculture, forestry & fishing is highly concentrated, measuring 4.3 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance has a smaller footprint locally at 12.8% compared to 16.1% across the wider region. Comparing the resident working population with the locally based jobs from the Census indicates that local employment options within the immediate area are relatively limited. Analysis from AreaSearch using SALM and ABS figures indicates that over the last twelve months, employment grew by 7.7% while the labour force expanded by 5.4%, leading to a 2.0 percentage point decline in unemployment. This trend stands in contrast to Regional Qld, where employment increased by 0.1%, the labour force grew by 0.3%, and unemployment rose by 0.1 percentage points. For additional context regarding future demand in Bundaberg Surrounds - South, Jobs and Skills Australia provides national employment forecasts originating in May-25. These projections span five and ten year horizons and have been overlaid with local employment data to estimate potential growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to the employment composition of Bundaberg Surrounds - South, local employment is expected to grow by 5.3% over five years and 11.8% over ten years, though this figure represents a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative use and does not incorporate localized 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 — 361 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,778 at the 2021 Census → 12,255 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.
