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.

Detail
As of Aug 2026, demographic research from AreaSearch places the population of Wellington Point at approximately 12,488. This represents an expansion of 595 people (5.0%) since the 2021 Census, when 11,893 people were recorded. This growth estimate incorporates an ABS estimated resident population figure of 12,391 as of June 2025 alongside 111 validated new addresses registered since the Census date. With 1,328 persons per square kilometer, the locality's population density exceeds the nationwide average identified across AreaSearch benchmarks. The 5.0% post-census growth rate for Wellington Point trails the wider SA3 area (5.6%) by only 0.6 percentage points, reflecting resilient demographic momentum.
International arrivals formed the primary growth driver, accounting for roughly 74.5% of recent net additions, though natural growth and interstate migration also contributed positively. AreaSearch utilises ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 population projections published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For locations lacking this coverage or extending post-2032, Queensland State Government projections released in 2023 from 2021 baseline data are applied. Because state projections lack age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch applies cohort weightings aligned with ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts released in 2023 (based on 2022 figures). Looking at forward trends, Wellington Point is projected to track in the lower quartile of statistical areas assessed by AreaSearch, adding 162 persons by 2041 according to the latest annual ERP figures, which translates to a cumulative expansion of 0.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
234 new dwellings have been approved in Wellington Point over the past five years, an average of 46 a year. That is 3.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 49 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 71% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals across Wellington Point have averaged approximately 46 dwellings annually, generating 234 homes over the past 5 financial years. With an inflow averaging just 0.9 people per year per newly approved home across the last 5 financial years between FY-22 and FY-26, construction is comfortably matching or outpacing demand, enhancing housing availability and accommodating potential population growth beyond current projections. New residences carry an average construction value of $580,000, slightly above the regional baseline to indicate a standard of high-quality development. In addition, the current financial year has recorded $10.5 million in commercial building approvals, pointing to stable non-residential development activity.
On a per-capita basis over the 5 year timeframe, development activity in Wellington Point sits 12.0% above the regional average for Greater Brisbane, fostering buyer choice while sustaining local real estate values. Recent residential approvals comprise 71.0% detached dwellings and 29.0% attached dwellings, maintaining an established family-oriented suburban character geared toward purchasers seeking space. This represents a noticeable shift from the existing housing stock of 89.0% houses, reflecting tighter land availability along with evolving lifestyle preferences and price points. A ratio of roughly 358 people per approval confirms that Wellington Point operates as an established, mature market. According to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Wellington Point is slated to add 65 residents through to 2041. At ongoing rates of planning approvals and construction, residential delivery appears well placed to satisfy demographic demand, sustaining favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling growth above existing population forecasts.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Wellington Point Village Streetscape Revitalisation
Redland City Council is upgrading the Wellington Point Village heart to create a more vibrant and walkable precinct. The project includes widening footpaths, installing new street furniture, and integrated landscaping to support local traders and enhance the public realm. Recent efforts in late 2025 and 2026 have focused on activating the precinct through collaboration between the Redlands Coast Chamber of Commerce and local businesses.
Wellington Point Recreation Reserve and Boating Facilities Upgrade
Upgrade program for Wellington Point Recreation Reserve, a regionally significant bayside parkland at the tip of the Wellington Point peninsula in Redland City. Maritime Safety Queensland is preparing a business case to upgrade the adjoining Wellington Point boat ramp, with the need identified in the Queensland Recreational Boating Facilities Demand Forecasting Study 2022 for the Redland local government area. Three concept options were released for community comment: a leading option delivering a waterside reclamation parking extension with 35 new trailer bays, 16 new car bays, four accessible bays, two floating walkways, a new breakwater with pedestrian footpath and an extension to the existing northern breakwater; an alternative landside option extending parking into the reserve with 49 trailer bays and 36 car bays; and a breakwater-only option with no parking extension.Community consultation closed on 31 May 2026 following information sessions at Redland Sporting Club on 26 and 27 May 2026, and the completed business case was due to be submitted to the Queensland Government by mid-2026 for consideration in future planning and investment decisions. The leading option requires works within Moreton Bay Marine Park and is subject to environmental approvals. Redland City Council continues to deliver reserve improvements alongside the state process, having previously completed pathway and retaining wall replacement on Main Road, LED path lighting along Reserve Esplanade, and anchor and mesh stabilisation of the eastern escarpment following the February 2022 landslip. The reserve provides picnic and barbecue facilities, playgrounds, exercise equipment, amenities blocks, car and trailer parking, the Wellington Point jetty, a swimming beach gazetted as a bathing reserve, and low tide sandbar access to King Island. No public capital cost has been released for the boating facilities upgrade; the value range shown is an estimate benchmarked against comparable Queensland four-lane ramp, breakwater and reclamation parking projects.
Botanix
Masterplanned community on the former nine hectare Botanix Lifestyle Garden Centre site, delivering around 299 homes across detached houses, terraces and mid scale apartments plus a mixed use precinct with retail, health, dining and community spaces. Redland City Council approved the Botanix Preliminary Approval and Plan of Development on 17 July 2024 after a multi year community master planning process led by Fiteni. Fiteni is now progressing a concept design for a new neighbourhood park in the site's south west corner, alongside detailed development applications for site works and the first stage of housing.
Wellington Point Commercial Development
New base build retail development delivering four shop tenancies. Works included civil earthworks, detailed excavation, block and structural steel superstructure, and base build fit out with infrastructure services.
Redland Hospital Expansion
A multi-stage expansion of Redland Hospital to enhance healthcare capacity on the Redlands Coast. Stage 1 delivered the new Amity Ward featuring an ICU and inpatient beds, while current works focus on Stage 2 construction of a new mental health and sub-acute building. The project is delivered by the Queensland Government, Metro South Health, and ADCO Constructions with completion expected in 2027.
Redlands Coast Smart and Connected City Strategy
Ongoing multi-year initiative by Redland City Council to enhance liveability, prosperity, and sustainability through smart solutions, including digital infrastructure, IoT sensors, smart traffic systems, and data-driven management.
Ormiston College Master Plan Redevelopment
Ormiston College is pursuing a major campus expansion via a Ministerial Infrastructure Designation (MID) lodged with the Queensland Department of State Development in 2025. The proposal covers a 27.1-hectare campus and includes new multi-use educational buildings, a 50m Olympic aquatic centre extending the existing 25m pool, a new boarding facility, indoor multipurpose courts with enclosed cricket pitch, junior sports ovals, a full perimeter security fence with koala crossings, and extensive landscaping. The MID pathway was chosen after a prior development application was rejected by Redland City Council due to koala habitat impacts.Community consultation closed in September 2025 with the State Planning Minister yet to decide. Rohrig Constructions is engaged as the project builder. Enrolments are forecast to exceed 1,600 students by 2026.
Wellington Point Jetty Structural Repairs Stage 2
Stage 2 structural rehabilitation of the Wellington Point Jetty delivered by Maritime Safety Queensland to restore safe public access[cite: 1]. Works included replacing and reinforcing timber headstocks and girders, remediating marine piles, and replacing decking and handrails[cite: 1]. The repairs were carried out by principal contractor Mitchell Marine Constructions[cite: 1].
7,531 residents of Wellington Point are employed, from a labour force of 7,695. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 73.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,726, about 78% 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
Wellington Point is characterized by a skilled resident workforce and strong representation in essential industries, maintaining a low unemployment rate of 2.1% after experiencing estimated job growth of 4.2% over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 7,531, with local joblessness tracking 2.2% lower than the Greater Brisbane level of 4.3%. Labor participation stands at 73.9%, compared to 70.1% across Greater Brisbane. In addition, 20.7% of workers indicated working from home at the Census, although historical Covid-19 restrictions should be factored into this figure. Local resident employment centers primarily on health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
The suburb exhibits a notable concentration in construction, where the workforce proportion is 1.2 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 7.0% of local jobs versus 8.9% regionally. Comparing the Census working population against the resident count indicates that this predominantly suburban residential community offers relatively few internal employment opportunities. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the 12-month timeframe, local employment expanded by 4.2% while the labor pool grew by 4.0%, leading to a 0.2 percentage points decrease in the jobless rate. By comparison, Greater Brisbane recorded a 3.2% rise in employment, a 3.4% expansion in the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage points increase in unemployment. Further labor outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 project national employment to increase by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. Weighting these projections against the industry breakdown in Wellington Point suggests potential local employment gains of 6.5% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, noting that this simple industry-weighted extrapolation serves illustrative purposes without accounting for localized demographic shifts.

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 — 111 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,893 at the 2021 Census → 12,488 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.
