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
Clinton - New Auckland has an estimated 15,340 residents, up from 14,161 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,179 people, or 8.3%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years. Natural increase accounts for 47.4% of that increase. That puts 673 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 resident count in Clinton - New Auckland stands at approximately 15,340 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,179 people (8.3%) from the 14,161 people recorded during the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 15,311 alongside 38 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density is 673 persons per square kilometer, indicating a low-density environment with substantial room for future expansion. Outperforming the SA4 region's growth rate of 7.4%, the area's 8.3% increase positions it as a local growth leader.
The expansion was primarily fueled by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 47.4% of the overall population rise, though net interstate, overseas, and other migration streams also remained positive. Projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, or for periods beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (using 2021 data) are adopted. Because the Queensland state projections omit age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch distributes growth across age brackets using proportional weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which are based on 2022 figures. Looking forward, the area is projected to experience substantial growth relative to other regional Australian areas, with an expected gain of 3,628 persons by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP statistics, representing a total increase of 23.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
215 new dwellings have been approved in Clinton - New Auckland over the past five years, an average of 43 a year. That places the area in the 60th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 38, broadly in line with 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 43 residential building approvals have been granted annually in Clinton - New Auckland, representing a total of 215 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 35 approvals have been logged. Given that an average of 4.6 individuals moved to the district for every new home constructed between FY-21 and FY-25, residential supply is falling short of demand, which typically intensifies buyer rivalry and elevates price pressures. Meanwhile, newly constructed dwellings average $207,000 in value, which is below the regional benchmark and represents affordable entry points for home buyers.
Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $20.7 million in the current financial year, pointing to steady non-residential development. Construction rates per capita in Clinton - New Auckland align closely with the Rest of Qld average, assisting in maintaining market balance in step with regional trends. However, this level remains below the national average, indicating a mature market and potential development limits. Additionally, all recent construction has consisted of detached houses, maintaining the low-density profile of the community and appealing to buyers seeking larger properties. The average of 549 people per residential approval highlights the quiet and low-key nature of local building activity. Based on the most recent quarterly figures from AreaSearch, demographic forecasts project Clinton - New Auckland will add 3,599 residents by 2041. Should building rates persist at current levels, the supply of new dwellings may fail to meet this population expansion, potentially stimulating higher buyer competition and supporting upward price trends.

Originally developed by Latitude Development Group as a gated community title estate, the project was planned for around 250 freehold home sites with staged land releases around a private residents club featuring pools, gym, function room, barbecue areas, playgrounds, landscaped parklands, walkways and cycleways. The original developer entered external administration and the balance of the estate land and recreation centre were sold to new owners from 2017 onward, but the subdivision, roads and lifestyle facilities are now in place and the area has matured into an established suburban neighbourhood with most lots built out and only infill housing occurring on remaining vacant sites.
Hughes Road Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
A proposed 200MW/800MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system designed to enhance grid stability and support renewable energy integration. The project is located near the existing Wurdong Substation. Construction is anticipated to commence in early 2028, with operations expected to commence in 2029.

Port of Gladstone Gatcombe and Golding Cutting Channel Duplication Project
The Port of Gladstone Gatcombe and Golding Cutting Channel Duplication Project (GGCCDP) involves duplicating the existing Gatcombe and Golding Cutting channels in the outer harbour by deepening and widening them to 16.1 metres depth and 200 metres width over approximately 15 kilometres, enabling safe two-way passage for larger vessels under all weather and tidal conditions. The project includes dredging approximately 12.85 million cubic metres of seabed material, constructing reclamation bund walls for long-term dredged material placement, and relocating navigational aids.EIS approvals were granted by Queensland and Australian Governments in 2020, with final project plans approved in 2025. The first construction stage - the Northern Land Expansion Project bund wall at Fisherman's Landing - commenced in August 2025. Channel dredging works will proceed progressively based on industry demand.
8,048 residents of Clinton - New Auckland are employed, from a labour force of 8,397. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 70.8%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 12,952, about 84% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. 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 distribution of industrial, manufacturing, white-collar, and blue-collar roles characterizes the local workforce, with the unemployment rate sitting at 4.2%. A total of 8,048 residents were employed as of March 2026. The unemployment rate is 0.2% higher than the Regional Qld average of 3.9%, while the labor participation rate of 70.8% significantly exceeds the Regional Qld average of 64.3%. Census data indicates a low proportion of residents working from home at 4.2%, though this figure was likely influenced by temporary Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers are manufacturing, retail trade, and health care & social assistance.
There is a strong concentration in manufacturing, which has a workforce share 2.8 times higher than the regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance is underrepresented, employing 11.1% of the local workforce compared to 16.1% in Regional Qld. Comparing the size of the resident workforce to the local working population suggests that regional employment opportunities within the immediate area are relatively limited. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that in the twelve months leading to March 2026, the local labor force contracted by 5.0% and total employment fell by 3.2%, which caused the unemployment rate to drop by 1.8 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% rise in employment, a 0.3% expansion of the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context regarding long-term employment trends. These five- and ten-year projections have been applied to the local industry mix to estimate future employment trajectories. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary widely by industry. Weighting these projections against the existing industry profile of Clinton - New Auckland suggests local employment could rise by 5.3% over five years and 11.8% over ten years, assuming no localized population adjustments are factored in.

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 — 38 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (14,161 at the 2021 Census → 15,340 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.
