This figure represents a rise of 1,032 individuals, marking a 6.4% increase since the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 16,032.

For projections, AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia figures released in 2024 with a base year of 2022 for each SA2 area. Post-2032 and for areas not covered by this data, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections from 2023 based on 2021 data are adopted, applying proportional growth weightings in line with ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 using 2022 data. Considering projected demographic shifts, lower quartile growth is anticipated, with the area expected to grow by 574 persons to 2041 based on latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting a total gain of 3.3% 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 approximately 22 residential properties granted approval annually. Over the past five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25113 homes were approved, with another 7 approved so far in FY-26. On average, 4.6 new residents are associated with each home built during this period.

This high demand outpaces new supply, typically leading to price growth and increased buyer competition. The average construction value of new properties is $273,000, consistent with broader regional development trends. In FY-26, there have been $23.9 million in commercial approvals, indicating steady commercial investment activity. Compared to Greater Brisbane, Regents Park - Heritage Park shows significantly reduced construction levels, at 92.0% below the regional average per person. This scarcity of new homes often strengthens demand and prices for existing properties.

Nationally, this activity is also below average, suggesting possible planning constraints or area maturity. Recent construction comprises predominantly standalone homes (88.0%) with a smaller proportion of townhouses or apartments (12.0%), maintaining the area's suburban identity focused on family homes. The location has approximately 828 people per dwelling approval, indicating an established market. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, Regents Park - Heritage Park is expected to grow by 556 residents through to 2041. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections and providing good conditions for buyers.
