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
Naracoorte Surrounds has an estimated 2,485 residents, up from 2,395 at the 2021 Census — a change of 90 people, or 3.8%. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 population of Naracoorte Surrounds stands at approximately 2,485 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 90 people (3.8%) from the 2,395 residents counted during the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 2,475 recorded in June 2025 alongside 43 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Based on these figures, the density of the area is 0.60 persons per square kilometer, indicating a low-density environment with substantial space per inhabitant. The 3.8% increase in population since the census lags by only 1.1 percentage points behind the SA3 region (4.9%), showcasing a steady growth trajectory.
The expansion of the local population was mostly fueled by natural growth, which accounted for roughly 77.0% of the overall gains in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, and for any projections extending past 2032, regional and LGA projections by age bracket released by the SA State Government in 2023 (using 2021 baseline data) are integrated using a weighted system to aggregate growth from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. Looking ahead, population growth is anticipated to sit slightly below the national median for regional areas, with the total population projected to rise by 133 residents to reach 2041 using the latest annual ERP statistics, indicating a cumulative expansion of 5.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
24 new dwellings have been approved in Naracoorte Surrounds over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 2.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, well below 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
Naracoorte Surrounds has recorded an average of approximately 4 new dwelling approvals annually, resulting in 24 houses over the last 5 financial years. In FY-26, there have been 2 approvals registered to date. An average of 2.1 people per year relocated to the area for every new residence built during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, showing solid demand that helps sustain property valuations, with new constructions carrying an average building cost of $316,000. Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $19.0 million have been documented in the current financial year, pointing to a steady level of commercial development.
When compared to the Rest of SA, building approvals in Naracoorte Surrounds are considerably lower, standing at 60.0% below the regional per capita average. This minimal volume of new construction typically helps maintain demand and supports the value of existing homes. The level of building activity is also lower than the national average, reflecting a mature market and highlighting potential planning or geographical limitations on development. Additionally, all recent construction projects have consisted of detached houses, maintaining the low-density characteristics of the locality and drawing purchasers who prioritize open space. The ratio of 658 people in the locality for every single dwelling approval highlights the quiet, low-scale nature of local construction. Long-term forecasts indicate that Naracoorte Surrounds will gain 123 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Current home building is keeping up reasonably well with this projected population growth, though buyers might experience heightened competition as the number of residents increases.

Riddoch Highway Overtaking Lane
Planning is underway for the construction of a new southbound overtaking lane on the Riddoch Highway between Padthaway and Naracoorte to enhance road safety, improve efficiency for freight vehicles, reduce driver fatigue, and ensure consistent journey times. Key features include increased lane widths with a 1.4m wide centreline treatment, new pavement construction and surfacing, a new Weigh In Motion system, audio tactile line marking, and roadside hazard protection. This project is part of the South Australian Rural Roads Safety Package.
Moyhall Road Reconstruction
Reconstruction of pavement and shoulders with new drainage and a full-width spray-sealed surface to address pavement failure, reduce maintenance costs, and improve road safety. Jointly funded with Naracoorte Lucindale Council under the Roads to Recovery Program.
North Parklands Development
A withdrawn unsolicited proposal for a $250 million mixed-use masterplanned community on a 197-hectare State Government-owned site north of Naracoorte. Developer Robert Moore of ELM Property envisioned 500 residential allotments around the Naracoorte Golf Course, a convention centre, motel-style serviced suites, aged care facilities, and a retirement village. Following overwhelming community opposition - 64.4% of nearly 400 survey respondents opposed any development - Naracoorte Lucindale Council voted against the proposal in August 2022 and the developer withdrew.As of 2026, the site remains a dedicated nature park and community space. No active development applications exist; Naracoorte Lucindale Council CEO Trevor Smart confirmed in November 2024 that a nearby subdivision approval was entirely separate and did not affect the North Parklands.
Naracoorte Early Learning and Childcare Centre
Originally proposed as a workers' accommodation facility, the 1.68ha former Naracoorte TAFE site was repurposed for a $2 million early learning and childcare centre for 60 children. Announced in May 2024 by developer Jrod Pty Ltd with a $500,000 state government grant, construction was to begin in late 2024. As of early 2026, the project has stalled completely after a private Adelaide-based childcare provider withdrew their partnership, leaving the development in limbo with no construction started.
Naracoorte High School Major Upgrades
Major facility upgrade including refurbishment of art and design building with 3 general learning areas, 2 outdoor learning areas, amenities, and ancillary spaces; construction of new sports change rooms, amenities, agriculture learning space, and change block; refurbishment of home economics facility; and demolition of ageing infrastructure.
Naracoorte Regional Livestock Exchange Sheep eID Infrastructure Upgrade
Upgrade of sheep electronic identification infrastructure at the Naracoorte Regional Livestock Exchange to meet mandatory sheep and goat eID requirements, improve livestock traceability, and support ongoing saleyard operations.

1,551 residents of Naracoorte Surrounds are employed, from a labour force of 1,569. Unemployment sits at 1.1%, with participation at 77.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 3.9% 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 in Naracoorte Surrounds is characterized by diverse industry representation and solid skills, featuring a very low unemployment rate of 1.1% and employment growth estimated at 3.2% over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,551, with the local unemployment rate sitting 4.3% lower than the Regional SA average of 5.5%. Labor force participation is exceptionally high, reaching 77.2% in comparison to the 58.4% recorded across Regional SA. Data from the Census shows that 28.1% of working residents performed their jobs from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing. The region exhibits a high concentration of jobs in agriculture, forestry & fishing, with its share of employment reaching 3.8 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance is underrepresented, accounting for 6.3% of local employment compared to 13.9% across the wider region. Although there are employment openings within the immediate area, the ratio of Census workers to the local population suggests a significant portion of residents travel to other areas for their jobs. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, employment rose by 3.2% over the 12-month period, while the labor force expanded by 3.6%, leading to a rise in the unemployment rate of 0.4 percentage points. In comparison, Regional SA experienced a 1.2% lift in employment, a 2.6% expansion in the labor force, and a 1.4 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context regarding potential future demand patterns in Naracoorte Surrounds. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these growth rates vary widely by industry. Weighting these national sector projections against the local employment distribution suggests that jobs held by Naracoorte Surrounds residents could grow by 3.9% over five years and 9.6% over ten years, though this calculation is a basic weighted projection for illustration and 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 — 43 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,395 at the 2021 Census → 2,485 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.
