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
Zillmere has an estimated 10,148 residents, up from 9,323 at the 2021 Census — a change of 825 people, or 8.8%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 70.7% of that increase. That puts 2,743 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 evaluation by AreaSearch, the population of Zillmere stands at approximately 10,148 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 825 individuals (8.8%) from the 9,323 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This shift is calculated from the ABS estimated resident population of 10,132 in June 2025 alongside 38 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Consequently, the suburb has a density ratio of 2,742 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the top quartile of all Australian localities analyzed. The 8.8% growth rate since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (7.7%), establishing the suburb as a local expansion leader.
Net overseas migration was the primary driver of this growth, accounting for roughly 70.7% of the total population increase during the recent timeframe. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with 2022 as the starting point, are utilized for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this data, or for periods extending past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (using 2021 baseline data) are adopted. Because these state-level projections omit age group breakdowns, AreaSearch scales growth proportionally using ABS Greater Capital Region projections from 2023 (with a 2022 baseline) for individual age groups. Looking ahead, growth is projected to rank in the lower quartile of national statistical areas, with the suburb expected to add 373 residents by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP statistics, indicating a total expansion of 3.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
126 new dwellings have been approved in Zillmere over the past five years, an average of 25 a year. That places the area in the 50th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 37, 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
Approval figures show Zillmere averaging approximately 25 new residential properties each year, with 126 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 34 recorded so far in FY-26. Because the area added 4.8 new residents for each completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand is outstripping supply. This trend generally triggers price increases and intensifies buyer competition, while new builds carry an average construction value of $298,000. Additionally, commercial approvals reached $22.4 million this financial year, reflecting active business investment.
Compared to Greater Brisbane, per capita development in Zillmere is 14.0% lower, placing the suburb in the 25th percentile of locations evaluated across Australia, which limits choices for purchasers and sustains demand for existing properties. This volume sits below the national average, showcasing the established character of the area and indicating potential planning constraints. The split for new construction activity is 50.0% detached houses and 50.0% medium and high-density dwellings. This shift toward denser housing provides affordable entry points and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. With roughly 912 people for each approved dwelling, Zillmere represents a highly established market. Demographic projections indicate that Zillmere will add 357 residents through to 2041, based on the latest quarterly estimation from AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, the supply of new housing will easily accommodate this demand, establishing favorable conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating growth that exceeds current demographic forecasts.

Carseldine Village - 5-Star Green Star Community
A pioneering 15-hectare sustainable precinct on the former QUT campus featuring 100% net-zero energy emission homes. The project integrates the Village Heart retail hub, Rockpool's 150-bed aged care facility, a 98-place C&K childcare centre, and 'The Green' $6.5M recreation area. Recent milestones include the structural progress of 152 social and affordable housing units in partnership with SGCH and Bric Housing, and the nearing completion of the Village Heart Stage 1 retail precinct.
Carseldine Village

Stage V civil works are complete, the first Village Heart stage is under construction, and SGCH started construction in June 2025 on 152 social and affordable apartments at 49 Plaza Place, to be operated by Bric Housing.
Zillmere Station Transit Oriented Development Investigation
A potential transit oriented development precinct around Zillmere railway station in Brisbane's north. Current official TMR material identifies Queensland's active TOD projects at other stations, and Brisbane City Council's published current suburban renewal precinct list does not identify Zillmere as an active precinct plan. Treat this record as a proposed or early investigation opportunity rather than a confirmed delivery project. Future outcomes would likely focus on walkable mixed-use development, housing choice and better integration with rail and local centre uses.
291-293 Zillmere Road Townhouse Development
A townhouse development site with Brisbane City Council approval for 12 two-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouses across two lots (1,214m2). The development is strategically located opposite O'Callahan Park and is part of Zillmere's urban renewal project.

The project is jointly funded by the Australian Government ($56.24M), Queensland Government ($138.76M) and Brisbane City Council ($40M), and is estimated to support approximately 185 direct jobs.
Taigum Gardens Estate (Stage 3 & 4)
Final stages of the Taigum Gardens land estate in Taigum, releasing new house and land packages along Lemke Road with homes expected to be delivered from late 2025 through 2026.
5,792 residents of Zillmere are employed, from a labour force of 6,324. Unemployment sits at 8.4%, with participation at 74.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,317, about 82% 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
A qualified workforce characterizes Zillmere, with strong representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of 8.4%, and an estimated 7.2% growth in jobs over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 5,792, while the unemployment rate was 4.1% higher than the 4.3% rate recorded across Greater Brisbane, suggesting potential for improvement. Labor force participation is relatively standard, sitting at 74.8% compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane. According to Census details, a moderate 14.6% of residents performed their jobs from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.
Resident employment is primarily clustered in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and transport, postal & warehousing. The local workforce shows a particularly strong concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, where employment levels are 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, education & training is less represented, accounting for 7.2% of employment compared to 9.4% across the region. This largely residential suburb offers few local jobs relative to its size, as shown by comparing the count of the Census working population against the resident population. AreaSearch assessment of SALM and ABS statistics shows that during the 12-month timeframe, employment grew by 7.2% while the labor force expanded by 7.2%, which kept the unemployment rate stable. This is in contrast to Greater Brisbane, where employment grew by 3.2%, the labor force increased by 3.4%, and unemployment ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide context on potential future demands in Zillmere. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce profile to model 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 industry projections to the local workforce mix suggests employment in Zillmere should rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, representing a basic weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes that excludes 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 — 38 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,323 at the 2021 Census → 10,148 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 (302041046). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
