Detail

Analysis of ABS population updates for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census estimates that the suburb of Banksia Beach has a population of approximately 7,432 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 252 residents (3.5%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 7,180 residents. The variation is calculated from the resident population of 7,432, determined by AreaSearch after reviewing the ABS June 2025 ERP release and another 183 validated new addresses post-Census. This population translates to a density of 1,228 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical figure across national locations evaluated by AreaSearch.

Throughout the past ten years, the suburb of Banksia Beach has shown stable expansion with a 2.1% compound annual growth rate, outperforming the SA3 territory. Local growth was mostly driven by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 79.0% of the overall population rise during recent timeframes. AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for individual SA2 zones, published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 locations lacking this data, and for any years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government for SA2 regions, published in 2023 using 2021 data, are implemented. These state-level projections do not segment by age categories; therefore, where they are used, AreaSearch distributes proportional growth weights matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 using 2022 data) for every age group. Future population projections suggest growth in the lower quartile of statistical areas studied by AreaSearch, with the suburb of Banksia Beach projected to grow by 291 residents to 2041 based on compiled SA2 data, representing an overall increase of 3.9% across the 16 years.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Banksia Beach

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

2,762 residents of Banksia Beach are employed, from a labour force of 2,854. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 42.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,177, about 83% 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

Banksia Beach possesses a qualified workforce across a variety of sectors, with a jobless rate of just 3.2% and a yearly estimated employment expansion of 4.1%, according to compiled regional data from AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 2,762 employed residents, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.1% lower than the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%. However, the participation rate of 42.3% is far lower than Greater Brisbane's 70.4%. Census records show that a moderate 22.8% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions.

The main industries employing local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The local workforce is highly concentrated in construction, representing 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 14.3% of local employment, which is below the 16.1% seen in Greater Brisbane. Given the difference between the local working population and resident numbers, this mainly residential community seems to present few local employment opportunities. AreaSearch assessment of SALM and ABS data for the broader region shows that during the year ending March 2026, the number of employed persons grew by 4.1% and the labor force expanded by 4.4%, leading to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Brisbane saw employment rise by 3.2% and the labor force grow by 3.4%, while its unemployment rate ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on expected demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with local workforce data to project future trends. Although overall national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change differ widely by sector. Applying these industry forecasts to the local workforce mix suggests employment for Banksia Beach residents will rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted projection for comparison and excludes local population growth 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 — 183 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,180 at the 2021 Census → 7,432 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 (SAL30146). 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 Banksia Beach 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 Banksia Beach 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 Banksia Beach 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 (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 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.
