Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Shailer Park

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Shailer Park has an estimated 12,728 residents, up from 12,073 at the 2021 Census — a change of 655 people, or 5.4%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 62.7% of that increase. That puts 1,585 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

According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Shailer Park stands at approximately 12,728 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 655 individuals (5.4%) relative to the 12,073 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated utilizing the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 12,717 and 39 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Consequently, the local population density is 1,585 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical figure observed across the country. The expansion of the local population has been driven mostly by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 62.7% of the total population gains in recent times.

AreaSearch employs population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For areas where these figures are unavailable, and for all projections beyond 2032, the Queensland State Government projections from 2023 based on 2021 data are utilized. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdown details, AreaSearch allocates cohort growth weightings based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 baseline data). Looking at future demographic trends, projections show a forthcoming reduction in the overall population, with the number of residents expected to decrease by 218 persons by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, expansions are anticipated within particular age cohorts, led by the 75 to 84 age group, which is forecast to grow by 330 people. See the age section for more details.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

138 new dwellings have been approved in Shailer Park over the past five years, an average of 27 a year. That is 2.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, well below 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

In Shailer Park, dwelling approvals have run at a yearly average of approximately 27, resulting in a total of 138 residential approvals over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 14 approvals have been documented. Given that an average of 3.5 people relocated to the area for every completed home between FY-21 and FY-25, demand is outpacing local supply, a scenario that typically drives prices upward and intensifies buyer competition. Concurrently, new dwellings are constructed with an average value of $144,000, which falls below the regional average and points to more accessible pricing for buyers.

Additionally, commercial development approvals totaling $40.9 million have been registered during this financial year, indicating robust local business investment. Relative to Greater Brisbane, Shailer Park registers approximately half the building activity per capita, positioning it in the 14th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide, which translates to fewer options for buyers while increasing the appeal of existing homes. This rate of development is also low on a national scale, reflecting the established state of the local market and pointing to possible planning restrictions. Detached houses account for 92.0% of the new building activity, while townhouses or apartments make up the remaining 8.0%, preserving the suburban character of the area with a focus on family-oriented housing. With a ratio of 1104 people per approval, Shailer Park demonstrates the characteristics of a mature, settled community. Given that population forecasts indicate a stable or decreasing number of residents, Shailer Park is anticipated to experience lighter housing demand pressures, which should assist prospective buyers.

Detail

Shailer Park has a skilled resident workforce with a strong representation in essential services, alongside an unemployment rate of only 2.1%. As of March 2026, there are 7,526 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate is 2.2% lower than the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%. The participation rate of 74.6% is relatively typical, comparing to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane. Census data indicates that a moderate 17.4% of employed residents worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The resident workforce is primarily employed in health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.

The construction sector shows a particularly high concentration, employing workers at 1.5 times the regional average rate. In contrast, health care & social assistance is less prevalent locally, accounting for 13.7% of employment compared to 16.1% across the wider region.

Over the same timeframe in Greater Brisbane, employment rose by 3.2%, the labour force grew by 3.4%, and the unemployment rate ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand trends for Shailer Park. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry mix to project local growth. Although national employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary greatly across different industries. Applying these sectoral forecasts to the specific employment profile of Shailer Park suggests local employment could expand by 6.4% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and 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 — 39 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,073 at the 2021 Census → 12,728 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 (311051327). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Shailer Park SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Shailer Park page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Shailer Park data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
