Gulliver - Currajong - Vincent has shown very soft population growth performance across periods assessed by AreaSearch

AreaSearch's analysis shows Gulliver - Currajong - Vincent's population was around 7,889 as of November 2025. This reflects an increase of 303 people from the 2021 Census figure of 7,586, indicating a 4% growth rate since then. The change is inferred from ABS's estimated resident population of 7,863 in June 2024 and an additional 14 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 1,600 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds national averages assessed by AreaSearch.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections from 2023 are used, based on 2021 data. However, these state projections do not provide age category splits, so AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings in line with ABS Greater Capital Region projections for each age cohort. Looking ahead, population projections indicate a decline by 2041. The area's population is expected to shrink by 355 persons by that year. However, specific age cohorts are anticipated to grow, notably the 25 to 34 age group, which is projected to increase by 233 people.

The level of residential development activity in Gulliver - Currajong - Vincent is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch

Gulliver-Currajong-Vincent averaged approximately 14 new dwelling approvals per year over the past five financial years, from FY21 to FY25, with a total of 72 homes approved during this period. In FY26, up until now, there have been 4 dwelling approvals. The average number of people moving to the area for each dwelling built over these five years was around 0.6 per year, indicating that new supply is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, providing ample buyer choice and creating capacity for population growth beyond current forecasts.

The average construction value of new properties in the area is $336,000, which aligns with regional patterns. This financial year has seen $5.4 million in commercial approvals, reflecting the primarily residential nature of the area. Comparatively, Gulliver-Currajong-Vincent shows substantially reduced construction activity when measured against the Rest of Qld, at 56.0% below the regional average per person. This scarcity of new properties typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties in the area. Nationally, this level is also below average, which reflects the area's maturity and may indicate possible planning constraints. New building activity in the location shows a significant shift from existing housing patterns. Currently, 87.0% of dwellings are houses, but new approvals demonstrate a skew towards compact living, with 23.0% detached houses and 77.0% townhouses or apartments.

This shift offers affordable entry pathways and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. The location has approximately 1952 people per dwelling approval, indicating an established market. With population projections showing stability or decline, Gulliver-Currajong-Vincent is expected to see reduced housing demand pressures in the future, benefiting potential buyers.
