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
Cooloola has an estimated 7,148 residents, up from 6,568 at the 2021 Census — a change of 580 people, or 8.8%. Growth has averaged 2.0% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 89.9% 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, Cooloola has an estimated resident tally of 7,148 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 580 people (8.8%) relative to the 2021 Census, when 6,568 people were counted. This demographic shift is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 7,148 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 76 validated new addresses documented following the Census date. With 6.3 persons per square kilometer, the locality maintains an uncrowded environment offering considerable personal space. The region's 8.8% post-census expansion trails Rest of Qld (9.4%) by just 0.6 percentage points, highlighting healthy underlying momentum.
Migration from other states served as the principal driver of this expansion, accounting for roughly 89.9% of total demographic additions in recent times. Projections published in 2024 (using 2022 as their starting baseline) by ABS/Geoscience Australia are utilized across SA2 areas by AreaSearch. Where these datasets are unavailable or for periods past 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 figures released in 2023 (benchmarked to 2021 data) are implemented instead. Because state-level datasets lack detailed age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales cohorts based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (anchored to 2022 statistics). Over the long term, demographic expansion is anticipated to trail the median across regional non-metropolitan Australia, with recent annual ERP baselines pointing to an increase of 333 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 4.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
233 new dwellings have been approved in Cooloola over the past five years, an average of 46 a year. That places the area in the 76th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 47 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 91% 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
Residential building approvals across Cooloola have averaged roughly 46 per year, totaling 233 homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over this same span of 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), approximately 2.9 new residents were added for every newly constructed residence, underpinning sustained demand that bolsters local asset values. These dwellings are being constructed at an average expected building cost of $389,000, presenting a more accessible price point than typical regional figures. Furthermore, commercial building approvals reached $18.9 million during this financial year, pointing to steady non-residential development.
On an individual basis, construction volume in Cooloola tracks at roughly three-quarters of the level observed across Rest of Qld, placing the locality in the 71st percentile nationally. Detached single-family dwellings represent 91.0% of recent construction while medium and high-density housing makes up 9.0%, maintaining the open character of the district and catering to households pursuing spacious living environments. There are roughly 164 people per dwelling approval, signaling a growing local market. According to the most recent quarterly calculation from AreaSearch, Cooloola is projected to expand by 333 residents by 2041. Provided current building trends persist, the supply of incoming dwellings appears well-positioned to absorb this population trajectory, supporting accessible conditions for prospective buyers while potentially accommodating even greater population growth than currently anticipated.

Cooloola Sands
Cooloola Sands is a masterplanned residential community in Cooloola Cove by Pradella, providing around 800 homes in a mix of traditional, park and water view lots. The estate is a short walk from the Cooloola Cove shopping centre and retains more than 40 percent of its land as natural bushland and waterway park reserves, with local parks and recreation facilities for residents.
Cooloola Cove Shopping Centre
Cooloola Cove Shopping Centre is a single level neighbourhood centre completed in 2009, anchored by a Woolworths supermarket and supported by around 10 specialty stores with approximately 4,300 square metres of lettable area and about 233 on grade car parks. Located on the corner of Queen Elizabeth Drive and Nautilus Drive in Cooloola Cove, it serves the wider Cooloola region as the main local retail hub. The centre is owned and managed by Region Group (formerly SCA Property Group) and continues to operate as a stable convenience based shopping destination.
Forest Wind Farm
A proposed 1,200 MW wind farm of up to 226 turbines sited within the state-owned Tuan-Toolara exotic pine plantation between Gympie and Maryborough in the Wide Bay region. The project would generate enough clean energy for roughly 500,000 Queensland homes and avoid around 2.62 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year. Forest Wind was enabled by the Forest Wind Farm Development Act 2020 and obtained state development approval, but its future was thrown into serious doubt in September 2025 when the Queensland LNP government announced the repeal of that Act, citing community concerns and the earlier exit of co-developer Tilt Renewables in August 2024.The proponent disputes the basis for the decision and maintains it is still seeking a path forward, while the federal EPBC environmental assessment remains incomplete.
Tin Can Bay Road Overtaking Lanes Investigation

2,342 residents of Cooloola are employed, from a labour force of 2,459. Unemployment sits at 4.8%, with participation at 37.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 employment landscape in Cooloola is characterized by a mix of white and blue collar jobs, with tourism and hospitality playing major roles, an unemployment rate of 4.8%, and an estimated employment growth of 8.9% over the past year. As of March 2026, 2,342 residents are employed, and the unemployment rate stands at 0.8% higher than the Regional Qld average of 3.9%, while workforce participation is considerably lower at 37.8% compared to the regional figure of 64.2%. Census data indicates that 13.9% of residents worked from home, although the effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
The primary employers of local workers consist of accommodation & food, retail trade, and health care & social assistance. Local workforce concentration is exceptionally pronounced in accommodation & food, where employment presence reaches 1.9 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for a smaller footprint locally at 9.9% compared to 16.1% regionally. Evaluating the balance between the Census working population and resident headcount suggests the area provides a relatively small volume of local employment opportunities. AreaSearch evaluation of figures from the ABS and SALM indicates that over a 12-month timeframe, local jobs grew by 8.9% while the overall pool of workers grew by 5.4%, reducing the unemployment rate by 3.0 percentage points. By contrast, across Regional Qld, employment edged upward by 0.1%, the workforce expanded by 0.3%, and unemployment rose by 0.1 percentage points. Future workplace demand can be evaluated through national employment outlooks published in Mar-26 by Jobs and Skills Australia. These national models project an overall expansion of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. When these industry rates are weighted against Cooloola's existing sector distribution, local employment is modeled to rise by 5.6% over five years and 11.9% over ten years (note that this is an illustrative weighting model and excludes local demographic 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 — 76 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,568 at the 2021 Census → 7,148 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.
