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.

Sales Detail
Woree has an estimated 5,263 residents, up from 5,127 at the 2021 Census — a change of 136 people, or 2.7%. That puts 919 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 investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Woree is estimated at 5,263 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 136 residents (2.7%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 5,127 individuals. This calculation is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 5,252 recorded in June 2025 alongside 2 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The population density is calculated at 918 persons per square kilometer, a figure that aligns closely with standard averages across evaluated regions. Natural increase was the primary contributor to local growth, accounting for approximately 50.0% of the overall population rise in recent times.
Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised for SA2 areas. For locations lacking this coverage, and for the years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 using 2021 data are substituted. Because these state-level projections omit age breakdowns, proportional growth weights are applied to each age bracket based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections with a 2022 base year. Looking ahead, population growth in non-metropolitan zones is anticipated to exceed the national median, with Woree projected to increase by 1,023 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a 19.2% overall expansion over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
23 new dwellings have been approved in Woree over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 0.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 511, 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
Woree averages approximately 4 residential approvals annually, with a total of 23 homes approved during the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 469 registered during the current FY-26 period. With an average of 3.7 new residents moving in per completed home over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, the demand for housing outpaces new construction, typically driving up values and boosting competition among buyers. The average value of new builds stands at $479,000, which is moderately higher than regional averages and points to a focus on premium construction.
Additionally, commercial development is moving at a moderate pace, with commercial approvals reaching $25.5 million this financial year. Woree exhibits significantly lower construction activity compared to the Rest of Qld, trailing the regional average per capita by 75.0%. This limited supply of new dwellings generally supports demand and prices for pre-existing homes. This volume is similarly below national trends, pointing to a mature market and potential development limitations. Recent building activity has consisted entirely of detached houses, maintaining the low-density profile of the neighborhood and appealing to buyers seeking extra space. New construction is more heavily weighted toward detached options than the 49.0% recorded at the Census, indicating sustained demand for family housing despite mounting density pressures. The low-development activity and tranquil nature of the area are highlighted by an estimated ratio of 963 people for every single home approval. Based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Woree is projected to add 1,012 residents by the year 2041. If building rates remain unchanged, housing production may fail to keep pace with population expansion, which is likely to escalate competition among buyers and support upward pressure on prices.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Bayview Heights to White Rock Underground Cable Project
Essential maintenance and refurbishment of 2.7km of 275kV underground high voltage transmission cables installed in 1997. The project addresses critical infrastructure risks through the removal of approximately 400 high-risk trees and the refurbishment of cable joint bays. Significant community enhancements include the installation of park benches, water bubblers with dog bowls, and shade structures along the Crowley Creek walking path. As of 2026, core transmission works are complete, and the project is in the extended maintenance phase for the establishment of 24,000 new compatible plants, with final completion expected in 2027.
Cairns Reservoirs Remediation Package 2
Remediation works are underway across nine Cairns Regional Council reservoirs at eight sites: Mayer Street, Panguna, Bayview Large, Barron View, Runnymede, Brinsmead, Dempsey Street A and B, and Crest Close. The program includes concrete rehabilitation and strengthening, internal protective coatings, steel roof replacements at two reservoirs, access upgrades, minor civil works, access road repairs and temporary water supply works to improve water quality, reliability and security. Council reported in October 2025 that safety assessments, geotechnical surveys and structural testing had been completed, with repair and cleaning works progressing.
Woree Social and Affordable Housing Precinct
Queensland's largest social and affordable housing precinct is currently under construction at a former drive-in site in Woree, delivering 490 modern, energy-efficient apartments for seniors over 55 and people living with disability. The project utilizes innovative volumetric timber modular construction delivered by Modscape and FCC Construction Australia, backed by the Queensland Government, Tetris Capital, and Community Housing Limited.
NQ Petro Service Station and Convenience Store
Development of a 24-hour service station and convenience store on a 3,761 sqm site at the former Woree drive-in theatre. The project includes fuel dispensers under a canopy, a retail building featuring a food and drink outlet, and two mixed-use tenancies. The site is strategically positioned to serve the adjacent 490-unit social housing precinct and handles high traffic volume from the Bruce Highway.
Bruce Highway Cairns Southern Access Corridor Stage 5 - Foster Road Intersection Upgrade
Grade separation and intersection upgrade at Bruce Highway and Foster Road in Cairns, forming Stage 5 of the Cairns Southern Access Corridor. Jointly funded by the Australian Government ($180 million) and Queensland Government ($45 million) on an 80:20 basis, totalling $225 million. The project builds on earlier corridor upgrades and will improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and enhance road safety at one of Cairns' key southern access points. Planning is being undertaken by AECOM Australia and forms part of the broader Bruce Highway Upgrade Program.
Bayview Heights Reservoir Refurbishment
Remediation works are ongoing at the Bayview Heights water reservoir as part of a critical package to extend the service life of nine reservoirs across the Cairns region. Following an unsuccessful re-lining attempt in 2024 due to deteriorated roof conditions, the reservoir remains offline through the 2025-26 wet season. Current plans involve removing the roof in the 2026 dry season to restore serviceability. The project is vital for maintaining network pressure and water security, particularly during peak demand and extreme weather events which recently triggered Level 4 water restrictions in March 2026.
Sewage Pumping Station W1A
Cairns Regional Council is replacing the existing SPSW1 sewage pumping station off Links Drive in Woree with the new SPSW1A station. The existing 1976 concrete wet well was found to be in very poor condition and at the end of its useful life, with access restrictions in place. The works will maintain sewerage services for the Whiterock catchment and improve safety, access and network reliability. Council awarded Contract 2927 to Koppens Developments Pty Ltd, with delivery planned across the 2023/24 and 2024/25 financial years and an approved end date of 30 June 2025.Council procurement reporting in March 2026 still lists the contract, indicating the project remains a current council works item or recently active contract.
Blenners Transport Coldstore Facility
State-of-the-art cold storage warehouse and transport depot facility in Woree, Cairns, constructed by Keir QLD for Blenners Transport. The 3,200 square metre building sits on a 16,000 square metre site and features nine loading docks, freezer and chiller storage (900 pallet capacity), dry storage (600 pallet capacity), ammonia refrigeration technology, hardstand areas, and washbays. Officially opened December 2023, the facility serves as Blenners Transport's main Far North Queensland distribution hub, servicing national food chains including Bidfood, PFD Foods and IGA with produce from Cairns and the Atherton Tablelands.
2,423 residents of Woree are employed, from a labour force of 2,678. Unemployment sits at 9.5%, with participation at 61.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 local workforce is evenly distributed between white-collar and blue-collar occupations, with a strong presence in essential services and an unemployment rate of 9.5%. In March 2026, there were 2,423 employed residents, while the unemployment rate was 5.6%, which is 3.9% higher than the rate in Regional Qld and indicates potential for improvement. The labor force participation rate of 61.9% is somewhat lower than the 64.3% recorded for Regional Qld. Census data indicates that a low 11.5% of workers performed their duties from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.
Resident employment is primarily concentrated in the fields of health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food. The local economy demonstrates a strong specialization in transport, postal & warehousing, where the employment share is 1.7 times the regional average. Conversely, the agriculture, forestry & fishing sector employs only 1.1% of the local workforce, compared to 4.5% across Regional Qld. Although there are local jobs available within the area, the ratio of the Census working population to the local population indicates that many residents commute to other districts for work. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that over a 12-month period, the local labor force contracted by 1.9% and total employment fell by 5.8%, leading to a 3.7 percentage point rise in unemployment. This trend diverged from Regional Qld, which recorded a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% growth in the labor force, and a modest 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-term employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 provide further context for future job demand in Woree. These projections for five and ten-year horizons have been matched to the local industry mix to model growth. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by industry. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce structure indicates that employment in Woree should rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local population 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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,127 at the 2021 Census → 5,263 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 (306021157). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
