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 Bundall

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Bundall has an estimated 5,105 residents, up from 4,895 at the 2021 Census — a change of 210 people, or 4.3%. That puts 1,309 residents on each 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 population of Bundall stands at approximately 5,105 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 210 people (4.3%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 4,895 people. This demographic trajectory is drawn from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 5,048 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 35 validated new addresses identified post-Census. Consequently, population density is calculated at 1,309 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the benchmark across nationwide locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Inbound international migration served as the core growth engine locally, accounting for around 82.5% of total population additions in recent periods.

SA2-level projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised by AreaSearch. Where SA2 regions lack coverage or extend past 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 figures released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are integrated. Because state projections lack age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional distribution weights derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, using 2022 baseline figures) across each cohort. Based on these projected demographic patterns, Bundall is anticipated to record strong growth placing it in the highest quartile among Australian non-metropolitan regions, expanding by 1,131 persons to 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP metrics, which equates to an overall 16-year increase of 21.0%.

Detail

Over the past 5 financial years, residential approvals in Bundall have maintained an annual average of about 14 dwellings, accumulating to 70 homes. In the 5 financial years between FY-22 and FY-26, incoming population averaged 1.1 people per year for every finished home, pointing to well-aligned market supply and demand conditions; over the past 2 financial years, this metric shifted to -0.8 people per dwelling, reflecting a tighter supply-demand balance. Approved residential schemes show an average construction cost of $1,025,000, underscoring a strong concentration among developers on high-end, luxury stock.

Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $9.6 million this financial year, evidencing ongoing non-residential capital investment. When measured against Rest of Qld, construction volumes in Bundall are substantially muted, trailing the per-capita regional benchmark by 89.0%. Constrained additions to the housing stock generally bolster price levels and buyer interest across established dwellings. Building rates also sit below nationwide figures, illustrating the established character of the suburb and potential regulatory or spatial restrictions. Detached dwellings make up 64.0% of recent residential development, while townhouses or apartments comprise 36.0%, showcasing a growing assortment of medium-density options catering to diverse budgets, ranging from expansive detached houses to lower-maintenance residences. The current ratio of roughly 434 people per approval highlights a mature residential property market. Projections indicate that Bundall will welcome an additional 1,074 residents through to 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If residential development activity remains at current levels, the volume of newly built homes may fail to match population expansion, which could heighten competition among purchasers and provide upward momentum for dwelling values.

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 — 35 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,895 at the 2021 Census → 5,105 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 (309101268). 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 Bundall 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 Bundall 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 Bundall 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 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.
