Regents Park - Heritage Park

Regents Park - Heritage Park is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Regents Park - Heritage Park's population is around 17,064 as of Feb 2026. This reflects an increase of 1,032 people (6.4%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 16,032 people. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 17,046 from the ABS as of June 2024 and an additional 64 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level equates to a density ratio of 1,819 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by natural growth, which contributed approximately 51.9% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted. It should be noted that these state projections do not provide age category splits; hence where utilised, AreaSearch is applying proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Considering the projected demographic shifts, lower quartile growth of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch is anticipated, with the area expected to grow by 574 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting a gain of 3.3% in total over the 17 years.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Regents Park - Heritage Park according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

Regents Park - Heritage Park has recorded around 22 residential properties granted approval annually, with 113 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 7 so far in FY-26. At an average of 4.6 new residents per year for every home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand significantly exceeds new supply, which usually results in price growth and increased buyer competition, while new properties are constructed at an average value of $273,000, aligned with broader regional development. There have also been $23.9 million in commercial approvals this financial year, indicating steady commercial investment activity.

When measured against Greater Brisbane, Regents Park - Heritage Park shows substantially reduced construction (92.0% below regional average per person). This scarcity of new homes typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties. This activity is also below average nationally, reflecting the area's maturity and pointing to possible planning constraints. Recent construction comprises 88.0% standalone homes and 12.0% townhouses or apartments, sustaining the area's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space. The location has approximately 828 people per dwelling approval, demonstrating an established market.

Looking ahead, Regents Park - Heritage Park is expected to grow by 556 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.
