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 Wamuran

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Wamuran has an estimated 4,538 residents, up from 4,228 at the 2021 Census — a change of 310 people, or 7.3%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 84.1% of that increase. Density is about 51 people per 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Wamuran stands at roughly 4,538 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 310 people (7.3%) compared to the 2021 Census, when 4,228 people were recorded. This net movement is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 4,522 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 70 validated new addresses added post-Census. With these numbers, the local population density sits at 50 persons per square kilometer, ensuring spacious living conditions. Wamuran's 7.3% expansion post-Census trails the broader Australian benchmark (9.5%) by only 2.2 percentage points, highlighting solid demographic momentum.

The primary engine of this population intake has been overseas migration, which made up roughly 84.1% of recent net gains. Projections compiled by ABS/Geoscience Australia (published in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures) serve as the foundation for AreaSearch's SA2 modelling. For periods beyond 2032 or areas without coverage, figures utilise the Queensland State Government's SA2 projections published in 2023 from 2021 data. Because these state figures omit demographic age splits, AreaSearch integrates proportional age weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (issued in 2023 based on 2022 numbers). Looking ahead, demographic modeling anticipates stellar gains that place the district among the top 10 percent of Australian statistical areas, with a projected expansion of 3,913 persons to 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to an overall growth rate of 85.9% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Wamuran

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

75 new dwellings have been approved in Wamuran over the past five years, an average of 15 a year. That places the area in the 56th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Residential building approvals in Wamuran have averaged approximately 15 new homes annually, adding up to 75 homes throughout the preceding 5 financial years. Over this 5 financial years span (between FY-22 and FY-26), an average of 3.8 people arrived locally for every new home constructed, indicating that dwelling additions are running well behind population intake. This shortfall tends to intensify buyer competition and place upward pressure on prices, with fresh builds carrying an average construction cost of $391,000, aligning with regional averages. Concurrently, non-residential activity saw $344,000 in commercial approvals this financial year, underlining the dominant residential focus of the locality.

Relative to Greater Brisbane, construction volumes across Wamuran are substantially subdued (trailing the broader regional per-capita rate by 72.0%). Such constrained additions of new housing stock typically reinforce buyer interest and bolster values across existing homes. This pace also tracks below national averages, signalling an established market environment alongside potential planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent construction approvals were exclusively for detached dwellings, preserving the traditional low-density neighborhood fabric centered on family living and open space. With roughly 299 people per approval, Wamuran demonstrates characteristics of an evolving market. Long-term demographic forecasts indicate Wamuran will welcome an additional 3,897 residents by 2041 (benchmarked from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Should residential construction continue at prevailing speeds, additions to housing stock could fall short of demographic expansion, likely driving stronger buyer competition and supporting local real estate valuations.

Frequently Asked Questions - Development

How many dwelling approvals have occurred in the Wamuran SA2 recently?
Dwelling approval activity in the the Wamuran SA2 area has seen 35 residential approvals over the past two financial years, based on AreaSearch's SA2 aggregation method. The Wamuran SA2's current population of 4,538 has been supported by 15 approvals on average over recent years.
How does the Wamuran SA2's development activity compare to the broader region?
The Wamuran SA2 has seen 0.34 approvals per 100 people in recent years, compared to 0.79 approvals in the broader region. This means that one dwelling has been approved for every 299 people in the Wamuran SA2, compared to one for every 117 in the broader region.
Is the Wamuran SA2 keeping up with housing demand?
With the population expected to increase by 3,897 people by 2041, around 1,299 new dwellings will be necessary. Recent approval levels may be insufficient to meet these forecasts, considering the census average of 3.0 persons per dwelling. This indicates potential housing shortages if current approval trends continue.
What has been the trend in development approvals over the past five years in the Wamuran SA2?
Looking at development activity over the past five years, the Wamuran SA2's approval levels have been slightly above the yearly average of 15, showing modest growth in recent years.

How does recent development compare to population growth in the Wamuran SA2?
Over the past five years, the population in the Wamuran SA2 has grown by approximately 1,800 people, while 75 residential approvals were recorded. This equates to a ratio of 24.0 people added for each new dwelling approval. This high ratio suggests strong population growth relative to housing supply, potentially indicating unmet housing demand.
Are there opportunities for residential developers in the Wamuran SA2?
With dwelling approval activity running at an average of 15 approvals per year and a population of 4,538, there appears to be a supply shortfall relative to projected demand, presenting strong opportunities for residential developers. With the population expected to increase by 3,897 people by 2041, around 1,299 new dwellings will be necessary.

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 — 70 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,228 at the 2021 Census → 4,538 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 (313021369). 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 Wamuran 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 Wamuran 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 Wamuran 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Sep 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 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.
