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.

Growth has averaged 1.9% a year over five years, faster than 77% of areas nationally. 619 new addresses have been validated here since Census night.

Detail
According to evaluation by AreaSearch, the resident count of Parrearra - Warana reaches approximately 11,639 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 10,392 people recorded during the 2021 Census, this indicates an expansion of 1,247 people (12.0%). This shift is determined using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 11,380 alongside 619 validated new addresses established following the Census benchmark. The resulting population density stands at 1,689 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the typical national benchmark evaluated by AreaSearch. Surpassing both the national average and the 9.4% recorded across Rest of Qld, Parrearra - Warana's 12.0% post-2021 Census expansion positions it among regional growth frontrunners.
International migration served as the primary catalyst for demographic expansion, generating roughly 55.3% of total population additions over recent intervals. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 demographic models published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For locations outside this coverage or horizons extending beyond 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts published in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are used. Because state-level datasets omit age bracket breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional distribution weightings corresponding to the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 from 2022 data) across each cohort. Looking forward, long-term projections place the area in the highest quartile among non-metropolitan Australian localities, with an anticipated expansion of 3,054 persons through to 2041 relative to the newest annual ERP figures, representing a cumulative 24.0% increase across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
653 new dwellings have been approved in Parrearra - Warana over the past five years, an average of 130 a year. That places the area in the 56th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 11 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 131 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 17% 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
Dwelling consent volumes in Parrearra - Warana have tracked at roughly 130 per year, yielding 653 homes throughout the preceding 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, incoming residents averaged 1.5 people per year for every residential completion over the past 5 financial years, signaling an equilibrium between supply and demand that fosters market stability. However, over the past 2 financial years, this measure accelerated to 7.6 people per dwelling, underlining heightened appeal and emerging constraints on construction. Expected construction costs for new residences average $606,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals reached $29.6 million during this financial year, demonstrating considerable momentum across non-residential sectors.
Per capita construction in Parrearra - Warana sits 12.0% below Rest of Qld, placing the locality in the 37th percentile across Australia; this moderates options for prospective purchasers while heightening competition for existing housing stock. Nationally, this activity levels well above standard benchmarks, reflecting sustained developer appetite. Current building permits comprise 17.0% detached houses and 83.0% townhouses or apartments. This pivot toward higher-density stock creates accessible purchasing pathways for first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. It contrasts with the local standing stock of 68.0% houses, illustrating diminished land availability alongside changing lifestyle preferences and demand for diverse housing types. A metric of roughly 403 people per approval characterizes a mature residential sector. Moving forward, population numbers in Parrearra - Warana are projected to increase by 2,794 residents through to 2041 relative to the newest AreaSearch quarterly assessment. Maintained at existing construction tempos, future residential additions appear well positioned to satisfy demand, generating supportive purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating expansion above current baseline forecasts.

5,499 residents of Parrearra - Warana are employed, from a labour force of 5,660. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 58.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years.

Detail
Parrearra - Warana possesses a capable labour base with substantial representation in foundational service industries and a low jobless rate of 2.8%. Employed locals numbered 5,499 as of March 2026, with unemployment tracking 1.1% beneath the 3.9% recorded for Regional Qld, while the local participation rate of 58.9% trails the 64.2% found across Regional Qld. Census records show that 17.9% of workers operated from home, though historical Covid-19 restrictions provide context for this figure. Local workers are predominantly engaged across retail trade, construction, and health care & social assistance. Construction represents a distinct regional specialisation, capturing an employment concentration 1.3 times the Regional Qld benchmark.
Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.5% of local employment, compared with 4.5% across the broader region. While local jobs are present within the boundaries, comparisons between local resident counts and Census workplace data suggest a substantial proportion of workers commute outside the area for employment. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures indicates that in the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 2.2% alongside a 3.0% decline in working residents, causing the jobless rate to climb by 0.8 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1%, the workforce grow by 0.3%, and unemployment increase by 0.1 percentage points. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context regarding future labor requirements for Parrearra - Warana. These five and ten-year sectoral forecasts have been applied against the local industry baseline to project trajectory patterns. Across Australia, workforce gains are expected to hit 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across sectors. Applying this sectoral distribution to Parrearra - Warana indicates prospective employment expansion of 7.0% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (a basic weighted projection for modeling purposes that excludes local population adjustments).

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 — 619 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,392 at the 2021 Census → 11,639 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (316021423). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
