AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections are adopted, released in 2023 based on 2021 data. However, these state projections do not provide age category splits, so proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections are applied for each age cohort. A significant population increase in non-metropolitan areas nationally is forecast, with Eimeo - Rural View expected to increase by 5,733 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting a total increase of 38.6% over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Eimeo - Rural View among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

Eimeo - Rural View has received approximately 82 dwelling approvals annually. Between FY-21 and FY-25, a total of 413 homes were approved, with an additional 41 approved in FY-26. On average, each constructed dwelling attracted around 3.9 new residents annually over the past five financial years.

This high demand outpaces supply, typically leading to price growth and increased buyer competition. The average construction cost of new properties is $296,000, which is below the regional average, suggesting more affordable housing options for buyers. In FY-26, commercial approvals totalled $22.3 million, indicating consistent commercial investment activity. Compared to the Rest of Qld, Eimeo - Rural View has 64.0% higher new home approvals per capita, offering greater choice for buyers despite a recent slowdown in building activity.

All approved developments since FY-21 have been detached houses, maintaining the area's low-density character and appealing to families seeking space. The population density is approximately 232 people per dwelling approval, indicating potential for growth. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, Eimeo - Rural View is projected to add 5,713 residents by 2041. At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to keep pace with population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and supporting price increases.
