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
According to investigations by AreaSearch, the resident count for Collingwood Park - Redbank stands at approximately 15,414 in May 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census record of 11,686 people, this represents an expansion of 3,728 individuals (31.9%). This development is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 14,921 for June 2025 alongside 876 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Such population numbers translate to 979 persons per square kilometer in density, a ratio that aligns closely with standard figures across areas evaluated by AreaSearch. The growth rate of 31.9% since the 2021 census outstripped the national benchmark of 9.3% and regional statistics, positioning the locality as a leader in expansion.
Inward migration from other states was the primary engine of this rise, accounting for roughly 59.5% of the overall increase, though natural increase and migration from overseas also registered positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline for each SA2. For localities not covered by these datasets, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 utilizing 2021 data are substituted. Since these Queensland state metrics lack breakdowns by age, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 figures. Future demographic trends indicate substantial expansion, placing this locality within the top quartile of areas assessed by AreaSearch, with projections indicating a rise of 5,049 persons by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP figures, indicating a 16-year increase of 29.6%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,017 new dwellings have been approved in Collingwood Park - Redbank over the past five years, an average of 203 a year. That places the area in the 99th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 13 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 150 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Approval records indicate Collingwood Park - Redbank averages approximately 203 residential consents yearly, amounting to 1,017 dwellings over the previous 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 207 approvals documented. With a ratio of 3.9 new inhabitants per year for each home constructed between FY-21 and FY-25, residential supply is falling short of demand, which typically intensifies buyer rivalry and drives up prices, even though new completions average $246,000 in value, which is below typical regional rates and provides more budget-friendly alternatives for home buyers. Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $193.0 million during this financial year, pointing to strong corporate investment locally.
Collingwood Park - Redbank exhibits 61.0% more development approvals per capita than Greater Brisbane, giving home buyers a broader selection. This volume is considerably higher than the Australian norm, demonstrating high builder confidence in the locality. Recent building activity is composed of 93.0% detached houses and 7.0% medium to high-density structures, maintaining a suburban atmosphere that attracts buyers looking for space. The ratio of roughly 70 people per approval characterizes this as a growing district. Projections show Collingwood Park - Redbank adding 4,556 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, the supply of new dwellings should comfortably satisfy demand, establishing favorable purchasing conditions and potentially helping the population expand beyond current forecasts.

7,726 residents of Collingwood Park - Redbank are employed, from a labour force of 8,057. Unemployment sits at 4.1%, with participation at 70.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% 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 labor force of Collingwood Park - Redbank presents a balanced mix of professional and manual occupations across diverse industries, featuring an unemployment rate of 4.1% and job growth estimated at 11.5% over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 7,726, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.2% below the 4.3% recorded for Greater Brisbane, while labor force participation matched the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 70.4%. Census records show a modest 11.5% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic lockdowns.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing. The manufacturing sector shows a particularly high concentration, with employment density at 1.8 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, accounting for 4.5% of jobs locally compared to 8.9% across the wider region. Although there are jobs within the immediate vicinity, comparison between the Census working population and local jobs suggests a high number of workers travel outside the area for employment. An examination of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, employment expanded by 11.5% and the labor force grew by 10.1%, resulting in a 1.2 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. This trend diverged from Greater Brisbane, which saw employment rise by 3.2%, the labor force expand by 3.4%, and unemployment tick up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context for future demand in Collingwood Park - Redbank. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate employment trends. Nationally, employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with significant variation among sectors. Applying these national sector trends to the employment distribution of Collingwood Park - Redbank suggests local jobs will grow by 6.0% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, representing a simple weighted model for illustration that does not incorporate local population projections.

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 — 876 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,686 at the 2021 Census → 15,414 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.
