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.

Telina - Toolooa has an estimated 6,837 residents, up from 6,387 at the 2021 Census — a change of 450 people, or 7.0%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. Natural increase accounts for 42.3% of that increase. That puts 291 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 Telina - Toolooa is approximately 6,837 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 450 people (7.0%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 6,387 residents. This population shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 6,828 and the registration of 87 validated new addresses since the Census. Based on these numbers, the population density stands at 290 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and space for potential future expansion. The post-census growth of 7.0% is within 0.4 percentage points of the wider SA4 region (7.4%), indicating robust local growth dynamics.
Natural increase was the primary contributor to this growth, accounting for roughly 42.3% of the population increase in recent times, though interstate and overseas migration also made positive contributions. For each SA2 locality, AreaSearch utilizes projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. In cases where data is unavailable for certain SA2 areas, or for projections extending beyond 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 projections from 2023 (using 2021 data) are substituted. Because the QLD state projections lack breakdowns by age, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 data. Based on these expected demographic shifts, regional areas outside capital cities are anticipated to grow at an above-median rate, with Telina - Toolooa projected to add 1,033 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a 15.0% expansion over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
54 new dwellings have been approved in Telina - Toolooa over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 1.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 46, running ahead of 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
New residential approvals in Telina - Toolooa run at about 10 per year, yielding 54 homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 43 approvals registered. With an average of 5.4 new residents added for each completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand is outstripping new supply. This imbalance typically drives price appreciation and intensifies competition among buyers, with new homes constructed at an average cost of $355,000. In addition, $916,000 of commercial building approvals have been logged this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the neighborhood.
Building activity per capita in Telina - Toolooa is roughly half that of the Rest of Qld, placing the area in the 30th percentile of analyzed localities across the country, which limits options for buyers and bolsters demand for existing properties. This level of activity is also below the national average, reflecting a mature market and potential planning barriers. Additionally, recent residential construction has consisted entirely of detached dwellings, maintaining the low-density profile of the suburb and drawing buyers who prioritize space. A high ratio of 552 people per single dwelling approval highlights the quiet nature of local development. Long-term forecasts suggest Telina - Toolooa will add 1,024 residents by 2041 (calculated from the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch). If current construction volumes do not increase, housing supply is likely to fall behind population growth, which will probably escalate buyer competition and support property values.

The precinct is intended to support manufacturing, freight, logistics and advanced industry close to the Port of Gladstone.
Brookview Estate
Brookview Estate is a resort style master planned residential community in Glen Eden, Gladstone. Originally developed by Latitude Development Group as a gated community title estate, the project was planned for around 250 freehold home sites with staged land releases around a private residents club featuring pools, gym, function room, barbecue areas, playgrounds, landscaped parklands, walkways and cycleways. The original developer entered external administration and the balance of the estate land and recreation centre were sold to new owners from 2017 onward, but the subdivision, roads and lifestyle facilities are now in place and the area has matured into an established suburban neighbourhood with most lots built out and only infill housing occurring on remaining vacant sites.
West Gladstone Social Homes
Construction of 13 new social homes in West Gladstone designed for single people, couples, young people, people with disability, and seniors. Six homes are being built to Platinum and Gold level accessibility standards as per Social Housing Design Guidelines. The development replaces two older social homes, maximizing land use to deliver more homes for people in need. Part of the Queensland Government's Homes for Queenslanders plan to deliver one million more homes, including 53,500 social homes.
Port of Gladstone Gatcombe and Golding Cutting Channel Duplication Project
The Port of Gladstone Gatcombe and Golding Cutting Channel Duplication Project (GGCCDP) involves duplicating the existing Gatcombe and Golding Cutting channels in the outer harbour by deepening and widening them to 16.1 metres depth and 200 metres width over approximately 15 kilometres, enabling safe two-way passage for larger vessels under all weather and tidal conditions. The project includes dredging approximately 12.85 million cubic metres of seabed material, constructing reclamation bund walls for long-term dredged material placement, and relocating navigational aids.EIS approvals were granted by Queensland and Australian Governments in 2020, with final project plans approved in 2025. The first construction stage - the Northern Land Expansion Project bund wall at Fisherman's Landing - commenced in August 2025. Channel dredging works will proceed progressively based on industry demand.
Gladstone Project
Powerlink Queensland's Gladstone Project is a critical multi-stage transmission network reinforcement program to ensure electricity reliability and security as the Gladstone Power Station prepares for anticipated closure. The project supports industrial decarbonisation and the integration of renewables in the Central Queensland area. Stage 1 involves the Calvale to Calliope River 275kV transmission line and substation expansions. Stage 2 includes the Bouldercombe to Larcom Creek line and the proposed new Gladstone West Substation. The Final Assessment Report was submitted in June 2025, with Stage 1 main construction works expected to commence in mid-2026 pending formal approvals.
Clinton Vessel Interaction Project
The Clinton Vessel Interaction Project widened the Clinton Channel by about 100m to reduce vessel interaction risks such as mooring breaks or collisions, involving the dredging of approximately 800,000m3 of material to enhance safe navigation for outbound vessels in the Port of Gladstone.
3,677 residents of Telina - Toolooa are employed, from a labour force of 3,832. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 71.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,391, about 79% 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
The workforce of Telina - Toolooa is balanced between professional and industrial roles, with a strong presence in manufacturing and industrial sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of 4.0%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,677, with unemployment sitting 0.1% higher than the Regional Qld average of 3.9%. Workforce participation is unusually high, reaching 71.6% compared to the Regional Qld benchmark of 64.3%. Census data indicates that only 3.5% of the local workforce worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The local resident workforce is heavily concentrated in manufacturing, construction, and health care & social assistance.
Manufacturing is highly represented, with employment rates in this sector reaching 3.0 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance employs 10.2% of residents, which is lower than the Regional Qld average of 16.1%. Given the difference between the Census working population and resident population, this residential enclave appears to provide few local employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the latest 12-month period saw a contraction of 5.0% in the labor force and a 4.0% drop in employment, resulting in a 1.0 percentage points reduction in unemployment. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% growth in the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage points rise in unemployment. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia help clarify future employment trends for Telina - Toolooa. These projections, spanning five and ten years, are overlaid on the local industry structure to model potential changes. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with significant variation across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment distribution of Telina - Toolooa indicates that local employment would expand by 5.2% over five years and 11.6% over ten years, though this simple weighted projection is illustrative and does not incorporate local population growth forecasts.

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 — 87 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,387 at the 2021 Census → 6,837 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.
