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.

Yorkeys Knob - Machans Beach has an estimated 6,327 residents, up from 6,133 at the 2021 Census — a change of 194 people, or 3.2%. That puts 301 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 findings by AreaSearch, the population of Yorkeys Knob - Machans Beach stands at approximately 6,327 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 194 individuals (3.2%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the cohort was 6,133 people. This population variance is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 6,319 as of June 2025 and 84 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. With these numbers, the local density ratio is 301 persons per square kilometer, indicating substantial personal space and capacity for potential development. The primary driver of this population expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 91.8% of the total population gains in recent times.
AreaSearch utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. In instances where SA2 areas lack this coverage, or for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are substituted. Because these state-level projections omit age group breakdowns, AreaSearch scales cohort growth proportionally in alignment with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data) for every age bracket. Looking at future demographic trends, population expansion is projected to remain just under the median rate for Australia's non-metropolitan areas, with the region forecast to add 522 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, representing a total rise of 8.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
106 new dwellings have been approved in Yorkeys Knob - Machans Beach over the past five years, an average of 21 a year. That is 3.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 29, 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
Yorkeys Knob - Machans Beach has averaged about 21 residential building approvals per year, totaling 106 residential completions over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 27 during FY-26 so far. Since the region registered an average of just 0.6 new residents per constructed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), building activity is keeping pace with or running ahead of demand, providing home buyers with more choices and supporting population gains that could outpace current projections, while new properties carry an average building cost of $294,000—a figure below regional averages—offering relatively affordable buying opportunities.
Additionally, commercial development approvals total $323,000 this financial year, reflecting a very quiet period for commercial construction. In comparison to the Rest of Qld, construction activity in Yorkeys Knob - Machans Beach is exceptionally quiet (52.0% below the regional average per capita). This low supply of new dwellings generally supports demand and prices for existing stock. The rate of building is also below the national average, highlighting the mature nature of the local market and hinting at potential planning constraints. Of the recent builds, 26.0% were standalone houses and 74.0% were townhouses or multi-unit dwellings. This orientation toward higher-density options offers affordable entry points and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This trend shifts away from the established property mix (currently 55.0% houses), indicating a decline in available land for development alongside changing lifestyle options and affordability concerns. The ratio of 1077 people in the area per dwelling approval highlights the quiet, low-scale nature of local construction. Projections indicate that Yorkeys Knob - Machans Beach will add 514 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Based on current construction trends, new dwelling supply is expected to easily accommodate this demand, ensuring favorable conditions for home buyers and potentially helping population growth exceed current forecasts.

As of March 2026, employed residents count 3,442, with the jobless rate tracking 0.7% higher than the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld, while workforce participation is closely aligned with the Regional Qld rate of 64.3%. Census data indicates that a moderate 15.2% of the local workforce operated from home, though the influence of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions should be taken into account.

This stands in contrast to Regional Qld, where employment rose by 0.1%, the labor force expanded by 0.3%, and the unemployment rate increased by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future labor demand in Yorkeys Knob - Machans Beach. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to project future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these sectoral growth rates directly to the industry profile of Yorkeys Knob - Machans Beach suggests local employment could expand by 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (note that this is a simple weighted mapping for comparison and does not integrate specific local population trends).

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 — 84 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,133 at the 2021 Census → 6,327 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 (306011143). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
