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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Cooloola stands at approximately 7,148 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 580 residents (8.8%) from the 6,568 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 7,148 alongside 75 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 6.3 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious environment for residents. This 8.8% post-census growth rate is within 0.4 percentage points of the Rest of Qld (9.2%), showing competitive growth indicators.
The primary driver of this population growth was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 89.9% of the overall population gains in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2. For areas lacking this data, and for all years after 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 projections from 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are substituted. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales cohort growth proportionally using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Demographic trends suggest population growth will land just under the median for non-metropolitan areas of Australia, with the region projected to grow by 328 individuals by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a 4.6% increase over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
267 new dwellings have been approved in Cooloola over the past five years, an average of 53 a year. That places the area in the 78th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 38 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 42, 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
Approximately 53 residential builds receive approval annually in Cooloola, totaling 267 dwelling approvals over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 39 during the current FY-26. Over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an average of 2.5 new residents was added for every home constructed, indicating strong demand that supports property values, while new dwellings average $261,000 in construction costs—a figure below regional averages that points to more affordable building options. Furthermore, commercial project approvals have reached $18.9 million this financial year, pointing to steady business development.
Compared to the Rest of Qld, new building activity per capita in Cooloola is 11.0% lower, placing it in the 76th percentile of all analyzed locations nationwide. Standalone houses represent 95.0% of recent construction projects, with townhouses or apartments comprising the remaining 5.0%, preserving a low-density character focused on detached properties for buyers wanting space. With approximately 160 people per approval, Cooloola exhibits the characteristics of a developing area. Long-term projections indicate that Cooloola is on track to add 328 residents by 2041 (compared to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch). Given current construction trends, the supply of new housing is expected to easily accommodate this demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially enabling population increases that exceed current forecasts.

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
Planning and investigation by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) to identify locations for dedicated overtaking lanes along Tin Can Bay Road between Gympie and the Cooloola Coast.

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
A balanced mix of blue-collar and white-collar workers characterizes the Cooloola labor force, with a notable concentration in tourism and hospitality, an unemployment rate of 4.8%, and job growth estimated at 8.9% over the past year. Employed residents numbered 2,342 as of March 2026, with an unemployment rate sitting 0.8% higher than the Regional Qld level of 3.9%, and participation in the workforce remaining low at 37.8% relative to the 64.3% seen in Regional Qld. Census data indicates a moderate 13.9% of residents worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of Covid-19 restrictions.
The local workforce is mostly employed in accommodation & food, retail trade, and health care & social assistance. Accommodation & food is a major regional specialization, with its employment share reaching 1.9 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance has a minor footprint, accounting for 9.9% of jobs compared to 16.1% regionally. Comparing the count of local workers in the Census to the resident population indicates that the area offers limited local job options. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, employment rose by 8.9% and the labor force grew by 5.4% in the 12 months ending March 2026, leading to a 3.0 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Regional Qld experienced employment growth of 0.1%, labor force expansion of 0.3%, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context on future local demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary. Projects mapped to Cooloola's specific industry mix suggest local jobs will grow by 5.6% over five years and 11.9% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population forecasts).
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment

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 — 75 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 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 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.
