Sales Detail
Avenell Heights has an estimated 5,198 residents, up from 5,028 at the 2021 Census — a change of 170 people, or 3.4%. That puts 1,704 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 Avenell Heights has an estimated resident count of around 5,198, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader regional ABS population updates with 28 validated new addresses recorded since the 2021 Census. This represents an addition of 170 people (3.4%) above the 5,028 people tallied at the 2021 Census. The updated figure builds on an estimated resident population of 5,182 determined by AreaSearch from the ABS June 2025 ERP release. Across the suburb of Avenell Heights, living density stands at 1,704 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across national locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Recent expansion has been largely underpinned by overseas migration, accounting for approximately 56.00000000000001% of total local population gains. Demographic modeling by AreaSearch incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections with a 2022 base year, supplemented by 2023 Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts (using 2021 data) for uncovered locations and post-2032 periods. Because state figures lack age-bracket breakdowns, AreaSearch applies age-cohort growth weightings derived from 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 data. Looking forward, the suburb of Avenell Heights is anticipated to record population growth tracking slightly underneath the nationwide non-metropolitan median. Aggregated SA2-level figures indicate the suburb of Avenell Heights is projected to expand by 396 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 7.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Residential building volume in Avenell Heights remains constrained, averaging 2 dwelling approvals annually and reaching a total of 14 across the past five years. Modest building levels of this scale align with rural environments where overall dwelling requirements are subdued and building delivery is bounded by community demand alongside infrastructure constraints. Because total approval numbers are so low, isolated building projects can exert a substantial effect on yearly growth rates and comparative statistical measures. Building output in Avenell Heights trails behind both Rest of Qld and broader Australian benchmarks. Among recent residential construction authorizations, 27.0% are standalone homes while 73.0% comprise attached dwellings.
This orientation toward higher-density options delivers budget-friendly entry points suitable for first-time purchasers, downsizers, and investors. Such a distribution represents a major shift from the existing residential landscape (which features 80.0% houses), driven by shrinking supplies of developable land alongside shifting lifestyle demands and affordability pressures. With around 253 people per approval, the locality maintains the hallmarks of a low-density community. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Avenell Heights is projected to add 380 residents through to 2041. Should dwelling approval and construction volumes persist at their present pace, new residential supply could fall short of demographic expansion, likely intensifying buyer competition and placing upward pressure on property values.

Retaining a local water body as the centerpiece, the estate will deliver 152 residential lots and 2 reserve lots across 15 stages, accommodating around 380 residents. Early stages have commenced with land sales recorded in 2025 and 2026.
Edenbrook Estate
Premium master-planned residential community by Santalucia Corporation in Norville, Bundaberg. Offering large lots from 740m2 to 1,080m2 with 23m average frontages, fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) internet, underground power and town water. Stages 2 and 3 are now sold out, with Stage 4 approvals currently underway. The estate is located minutes from major shopping centres, schools, childcare, and dining precincts, and has been recognised as one of Bundaberg's most desirable addresses.
432-434 Goodwood Road Land Lease Community
DA approved 7.34 hectare land lease community on the southern fringe of Bundaberg, planned to deliver 149 residential home sites in a managed estate. The project targets secure and affordable housing featuring six architectural designs. The site is currently being offered for sale via Expressions of Interest, with construction originally targeted to commence in late 2025.
Kalkie Heights Residential Estate
Kalkie Heights is a master planned house and land estate in Kalkie, near Bundaberg, delivering about 194 residential lots over multiple stages. Stages 1 and 2 are sold out, civil works and infrastructure for the first stage are complete, titles have begun to issue, and homes and house and land packages are under construction, with further stages planned. The estate sits on elevated land above the floodplain and is positioned between Bundaberg CBD and Bargara beaches.
Gympie Estate Affordable Housing Project
PROJECT CANCELLED - SEPTEMBER 2025. A proposed 101-home affordable housing estate on 26 hectares adjacent to Baldwin Swamp Environmental Park. Following comprehensive geotechnical and environmental assessments, Regional Housing Limited and Bundaberg Regional Council determined the project was not feasible due to infrastructure costs exceeding development thresholds. The land is now planned to be incorporated into Baldwin Swamp Environmental Park as environmental reserve. The site, bounded by Telegraph Road, Ring Road, FE Walker Street and Mellifont Street, was intended to deliver affordable rental housing while preserving green spaces, but investigations confirmed civil infrastructure costs would be too high and lot numbers overly restricted to achieve affordable housing outcomes.
2,375 residents of Avenell Heights are employed, from a labour force of 2,489. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, with participation at 56.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,984, about 77% 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
AreaSearch statistical area aggregations indicate that Avenell Heights maintains a diversified labor pool distributed across white and blue collar occupations, with strong participation across essential services. The local unemployment rate stands at 4.6%, with an estimated 8.4% in employment growth recorded over the preceding twelve months. As of March 2026, 2,375 residents are employed, with the local jobless rate sitting 0.7% above the 3.9% recorded for Regional Qld. Furthermore, labor force participation is comparatively subdued at 56.2% compared to Regional Qld's 64.2%. Census figures reveal that only 4.3% of workers operated from home, though pandemic restrictions during Covid-19 should be noted in context.
The primary industries providing jobs for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training. High concentration is evident in health care & social assistance, where the local workforce proportion is 1.3 times the regional level. Conversely, construction generates a smaller footprint, engaging only 7.6% of Avenell Heights's employed population relative to 10.1% in Regional Qld. Given the disparity between the Census working population and total resident numbers, this largely residential district provides relatively few jobs within its own boundaries. Aggregated ABS and SALM metrics compiled by AreaSearch show that across the 12-month period, local employment expanded by 8.4% while the labor pool grew by 5.5%, resulting in a 2.6 percentage points reduction in the unemployment rate. This outperformed Regional Qld, where employment rose by 0.1%, the labour force grew by 0.3%, and unemployment climbed by 0.1 percentage points. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26 provide indicative workforce trajectories. While overall Australian employment is projected to climb 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry variations exist; weighting these sector projections against the local job composition indicates Avenell Heights employment could rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (serving as an illustrative proportional extrapolation without localized demographic adjustments).

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 — 28 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,028 at the 2021 Census → 5,198 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 (SAL30106). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
