Sales Detail
Ashburton has an estimated 8,515 residents, up from 7,952 at the 2021 Census — a change of 563 people, or 7.1%. 141 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 2,916 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Ashburton has an estimated population of approximately 8,515, according to AreaSearch evaluations of broader ABS demographic releases and post-Census address validations. This marks an expansion of 563 people (7.1%) from the 7,952 people recorded at the 2021 Census. Such gains stem from an estimated resident population of 8,471 derived from the June 2025 ABS ERP figures, alongside 141 validated new addresses registered since the Census date. With 2,916 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Ashburton sits in the upper quartile nationally for population density across AreaSearch benchmarks.
Furthermore, the 7.1% increase outpaced the 6.6% recorded across the broader SA3 area, establishing the suburb of Ashburton as a regional leader in expansion, with recent additions fueled almost entirely by overseas migration. Demographic modeling by AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, supplemented by 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA figures aggregated via weighted methods to SA2 boundaries where necessary. Age-specific rates from these calculations are similarly projected across all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, the suburb of Ashburton is projected to track within the lower quartile nationally, adding 246 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 forecasts, representing an overall rise of 2.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
471 new dwellings have been approved in Ashburton over the past five years, an average of 94 a year. That places the area in the 58th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 11 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 60 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 47% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 68, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Annual residential approvals in Ashburton have averaged approximately 94 dwellings according to AreaSearch analysis of ABS figures, totaling an estimated 471 homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 68 logged to date in FY-25. Because population influx has averaged just 0.5 people per year for every home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), construction volume comfortably matches or outstrips demand, providing substantial buyer variety and room for future expansion beyond baseline projections. Newly approved residences carry an average construction cost of $855,000, illustrating an emphasis among developers on higher-tier, premium builds.
Alongside residential activity, commercial approvals have reached $16.3 million this financial year, underscoring solid non-residential investment. On a per-person basis, construction activity in Ashburton exceeds the Greater Melbourne benchmark by 41.0% over the 5 year period, maintaining healthy market options while supporting ongoing demand. The profile of recent approvals comprises 47.0% detached houses and 53.0% medium and high-density housing. This shift toward multi-unit dwellings delivers more accessible price thresholds tailored to first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers. It also represents a marked evolution from the existing built form of 76.0% houses, responding to site constraints as well as changing lifestyle and affordability requirements. Generating approximately 139 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical traits of an expanding urban growth precinct. Projections based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release indicate that Ashburton will add 202 residents through to 2041. Given prevailing building trends, incoming residential development appears well placed to satisfy demographic requirements, fostering favorable purchasing opportunities and creating capacity to accommodate growth beyond current projections.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Ashburton Baptist Church Redevelopment
Planned mixed-use redevelopment of the Ashburton Baptist Church site to deliver a new multi-purpose church auditorium, community facilities, a childcare centre and approximately 38 apartments within a 5-storey building.
Ashburton Place
Large scale mixed use redevelopment of the former Ashburton Shopping Centre site at 207-219 High Street in Ashburton. The project is expected to deliver around 450 new apartments in several mid rise buildings above a new supermarket, street facing shops and improved public open space and laneway connections into the Ashburton Village shopping strip.
Ashburton Station Activity Centre Plan
A state-led planning initiative under the Victorian Government's Activity Centres Program to increase housing density and diversify dwelling types around Ashburton Station. The plan introduces a 'core' area with new building height and setback controls (typically 4 to 6 storeys) and a 'catchment' area for incremental growth. It aims to support approximately 800 new dwellings by 2040 while improving walking and cycling links, public spaces, and local retail vitality along the High Street shopping strip.
Alamein Line Duplication (Ashburton to Alamein section)
Proposed duplication of the single-track section of the Alamein Line between Ashburton and Alamein stations, with associated signalling and rail infrastructure upgrades to improve service frequency, reliability and network resilience. As of July 2026, no funded construction program or approved delivery timetable has been announced by the Victorian Government, and the project remains a long-term proposal.
Suburban Rail Loop East
SRL East is delivering 26km of twin underground rail tunnels and six new underground stations connecting Cheltenham, Clayton, Monash, Glen Waverley, Burwood, and Box Hill[cite: 1]. Major construction and site preparation are active across all station sites, with tunnel boring machines launching from the Burwood site[cite: 1]. The new orbital rail line will connect major educational, health, and commercial precincts while integrating with existing regional and metropolitan rail networks[cite: 1]. Trains are scheduled to commence passenger operations by 2035[cite: 1].
Sycamore Place

Housing Choices Carnegie - Egan Street
106 one and two-bedroom affordable housing apartments across 10 levels, part of the Victorian Government's Big Housing Build program. Designed by Bruce Henderson Architects and constructed by Buxton Construction, the project includes office space, a 3-level basement, and a landscaped rooftop terrace, aiming to provide quality affordable housing for low to moderate income earners.
4,672 residents of Ashburton are employed, from a labour force of 4,925. Unemployment sits at 5.1%, with participation at 70.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,364, about 86% 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
The local labor force is characterized by high levels of education and substantial participation in professional services, featuring an unemployment rate of 5.1% and year-on-year estimated employment growth of 2.0% as compiled by AreaSearch. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 4,672, with unemployment sitting 0.4% higher than the 4.8% recorded across Greater Melbourne, while workforce participation aligns with Greater Melbourne's 70.1%. Additionally, Census data showed 50.5% of workers operating from home, an outcome influenced in part by Covid-19 lockdown settings. Resident employment is concentrated primarily within professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and education & training sectors.
Notably, professional & technical roles exhibit significant local specialization, capturing 1.6 times the regional average share. Conversely, construction accounts for only 5.3% of workers locally versus 9.7% regionally. As reflected by the disparity between working and resident populations at the Census, this largely residential locality generates relatively few jobs within its own borders. Over the 12 months to March 2026, ABS and SALM figures synthesized by AreaSearch show local employment expanding by 2.0% alongside a 2.6% increase in the labour force, resulting in a 0.5 percentage points rise in unemployment. Across Greater Melbourne, employment grew by 2.1% and the labour force by 2.3%, leading to an unemployment uptick of 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking guidance from Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts dated Mar-26 provides context on future local workforce requirements over five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, jobs are projected to increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years; weighting these sector trends against the specific occupational structure of Ashburton indicates local workforce gains of 7.1% over five years and 14.5% over ten years (calculated as an illustrative weighting extrapolation without incorporating localised population projections).

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 — 141 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,952 at the 2021 Census → 8,515 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 (SAL20077). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
