Suburb (SAL) Boundary Analysis

This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.

SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.

Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Growth has averaged 6.0% a year over five years, faster than 94% of areas nationally. 219 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 86.0% of that increase. Density is about 87 people per 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 AreaSearch evaluations combining broader regional ABS releases with address validations following the Census, the suburb of Agnes Water is assessed to have a resident count of approximately 3,511 as of Aug 2026. This equates to an expansion of 782 people (28.7%) compared to the 2021 Census, when 2,729 people were documented. Such growth draws upon the ABS Estimated Resident Population release from June 2025 pointing to 3,483 residents, alongside 219 validated new addresses confirmed subsequently. At 87 persons per square kilometer, the population density remains low, offering generous space per resident as well as scope for prospective expansion.

Outperforming both the SA4 region (7.6%) and its corresponding SA3 district, the suburb of Agnes Water stands as a prominent growth focal point with its 28.7% rise since the 2021 census. Inflows from interstate migration served as the primary growth engine by generating roughly 86.0% of total gains, while overseas arrivals and natural increase also delivered positive contributions. Projections utilized by AreaSearch for every SA2 territory originate from the ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset published in 2024 (using 2022 as baseline), turning to Queensland State Government SA2 series published in 2023 (utilising 2021 figures) for subsequent timeframes after 2032 or areas without coverage. Because state-level modeling omits age breakdowns, proportional distribution weights from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (grounded in 2022 figures) are factored in across age brackets. Taking into account these demographic shifts, the suburb of Agnes Water is projected to register expansion slightly under the national non-metropolitan median, with combined SA2 models anticipating an uptick of 426 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative 11.3% climb across the 16 years.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

172 new dwellings have been approved in Agnes Water over the past five years, an average of 34 a year. That places the area in the 87th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 32 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 40, broadly in line with that longer-run average.

Detail

Examining ABS building approval statistics mapped across statistical boundaries, AreaSearch indicates that Agnes Water averages roughly 34 residential building consents per annum, totaling an estimated 172 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 40 approved to date in FY-25. Over this same window between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 5.6 people arrived annually for every new residence constructed, generating a notable undersupply relative to inbound demand, which typically intensifies buyer rivalry and upward pricing momentum alongside an average expected dwelling construction value of $564,000.

Additionally, non-residential building approvals have reached $1.5 million in the current financial year, demonstrating subdued commercial construction activity. Per capita building activity in Agnes Water outpaces Rest of Qld by 225.0%, expanding inventory options for purchasers. Every recent residential approval has consisted exclusively of detached houses, maintaining the low-density urban fabric and drawing buyers seeking spacious living environments. Logging approximately 94 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical traits of an active development corridor. Moving forward, projections derived from the most recent quarterly AreaSearch dataset indicate an influx of 398 residents in Agnes Water through to 2041. Under current construction trajectories, incoming residential supply appears well positioned to absorb demand, sustaining favourable buying environments and potentially accommodating growth beyond baseline 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 — 219 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,729 at the 2021 Census → 3,511 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL30014). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Agnes Water suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Agnes Water page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Agnes Water data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
