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.

Ormiston has an estimated 7,054 residents, up from 6,379 at the 2021 Census — a change of 675 people, or 10.6%. Growth has averaged 2.1% a year over five years. 206 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 63.6% of that increase. That puts 1,431 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Ormiston had a population of 7,054 in May 2026, according to analysis from AreaSearch. This represents a 10.6% rise, or 675 more individuals, compared to the 6,379 people recorded in the 2021 Census. The calculation is based on the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 7,042 and a subsequent 206 validated new addresses. The resulting density stands at 1,430 persons per square kilometer, a figure that is higher than the national average. The local growth rate of 10.6% since the 2021 census outpaced both the national average and the SA4 region's 8.3% increase, establishing the suburb as a leader in regional growth.
The primary contributor to these gains was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 63.6% of the population growth in recent times. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, are used for SA2 areas. For any SA2 regions lacking this dataset, or for projections extending past 2032, Queensland State Government projections from 2023 based on 2021 statistics are utilized. Since the Queensland state projections omit age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch distributes growth using proportional weights from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 figures) for each age category. These demographic projections indicate that the suburb will experience growth just below the national median for statistical areas, with a projected increase of 709 people to 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, which equates to a 9.9% expansion over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
291 new dwellings have been approved in Ormiston over the past five years, an average of 58 a year. That places the area in the 83rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 43 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 72% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 57, 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
Around 58 building approvals have been granted annually in Ormiston, resulting in 291 new dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In FY-26 to date, 53 approvals have been registered. An average population increase of 2.4 residents for every new home built between FY-21 and FY-25 points to strong demand that is likely to sustain local property values. Construction costs average $429,000 per dwelling, indicating that developers are focusing on the higher-end, premium tier of the market. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $4.4 million have been logged this financial year, highlighting the area's predominantly residential makeup.
Ormiston's development activity per capita aligns closely with Greater Brisbane, indicating market stability in step with wider regional trends. Recent home building consists of 72.0% detached houses and 28.0% apartments or townhouses, maintaining a suburban environment that appeals to buyers seeking space. Representing approximately 104 people per approved dwelling, the suburb displays the hallmarks of a developing area. Demographic forecasts based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch indicate that Ormiston will add 697 new residents by 2041. Present construction activity suggest that housing supply is on track to satisfy demand, creating a balanced environment for purchasers and potentially supporting growth that exceeds current predictions.

Ormiston College Master Plan Redevelopment
Ormiston College is pursuing a major campus expansion via a Ministerial Infrastructure Designation (MID) lodged with the Queensland Department of State Development in 2025. The proposal covers a 27.1-hectare campus and includes new multi-use educational buildings, a 50m Olympic aquatic centre extending the existing 25m pool, a new boarding facility, indoor multipurpose courts with enclosed cricket pitch, junior sports ovals, a full perimeter security fence with koala crossings, and extensive landscaping. The MID pathway was chosen after a prior development application was rejected by Redland City Council due to koala habitat impacts.Community consultation closed in September 2025 with the State Planning Minister yet to decide. Rohrig Constructions is engaged as the project builder. Enrolments are forecast to exceed 1,600 students by 2026.
Cleveland Line Duplication (Park Road to Cleveland)
Major rail capacity project involving the duplication of single-track sections on the Cleveland Line to enable 15-minute service frequencies and support the Brisbane 2032 Games. Current 2026 status involves advanced planning and corridor investigations, integrated with the SEQ Rail Connect strategy. Significant sub-projects include the Lindum rail crossing upgrade (in design phase) and Transit Oriented Developments (TOD) at Cleveland and Thorneside stations. The project remains a critical priority for the post-Cross River Rail network redesign to improve reliability and capacity across the eastern corridor.
Redlands Health and Wellness Precinct
Master-planned health precinct centred on Redland Hospital and Mater Private Hospital Redland in Cleveland. Metro South Health has invested more than $300 million in staged Redland Hospital upgrades, including new inpatient beds, a new ICU, expanded mental health services, a 7-level car park, a completed 37-bed Stage 1 expansion and further Transit Care Hub works. Redland City Council, Metro South Health and Mater Health are also progressing a precinct master plan for land at Wellington Street and Weippin Street to support public and private hospital expansion and related health industry clustering.

Toondah Harbour Priority Development Area
As of April 2026, Walker Corporation has officially withdrawn as the development partner for the Toondah Harbour PDA, ending a decade-long planning saga. The decision follows the inability to meet federal environmental approval milestones within required timeframes after the 2024 proposed refusal by the Federal Environment Minister. Redland City Council and the Queensland Government are now reassessing the precinct's future, focusing on a rejuvenated marine facility and essential ferry terminal upgrades to North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah) without the large-scale residential components previously proposed.
3,897 residents of Ormiston are employed, from a labour force of 3,991. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 66.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,053, about 86% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Ormiston is characterized by an educated workforce and strong representation in essential services, with an unemployment rate of 2.4% and an estimated annual job growth rate of 3.4%. There were 3,897 employed residents in March 2026, with an unemployment rate 2.0% lower than the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%. The labor participation rate of 66.3% is lower than the Greater Brisbane average of 70.4%. Census records show that a moderate 23.1% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training.
In contrast, public administration & safety employs 6.0% of the working population, which is below the 7.0% regional average. The balance between the local working population and resident workforce suggests that local employment opportunities are limited in this predominantly residential suburb. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the 12 months ending March 2026, the local workforce grew by 3.4% and the labor force expanded by 4.1%, leading to a 0.6 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same period in Greater Brisbane, employment rose by 3.2%, the labor force grew by 3.4%, and unemployment increased by 0.1 percentage points. National employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide a benchmark for potential future demand in Ormiston. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce mix to model growth trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these national sector projections to the local workforce suggests employment could rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, representing a simple weighting extrapolation 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 — 206 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,379 at the 2021 Census → 7,054 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (301021008). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
