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.

Sales Detail
Beachmere has an estimated 4,963 residents, up from 4,782 at the 2021 Census — a change of 181 people, or 3.8%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. That puts 156 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 Beachmere has an estimated resident count of around 4,963, determined through AreaSearch evaluation of broader regional ABS updates alongside validated post-Census address records. This marks an expansion of 181 people (3.8%) compared to the 2021 Census count of 4,782 people. The estimate builds upon the ABS June 2025 ERP figure of 4,898 residents identified by AreaSearch, combined with 94 validated new addresses recorded after the Census date. With a density of 155 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers ample space per occupant and opportunities for future expansion.
During the prior decade, the suburb of Beachmere recorded steady demographic gains with a 1.6% compound annual growth rate that exceeded the nationwide benchmark, with interstate migration serving as the core catalyst by generating approximately 83.0% of recent population additions. Projections for each SA2 area utilise ABS/Geoscience Australia figures published in 2024 using 2022 as a base, supplemented by Queensland State Government SA2 projections released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) for post-2032 horizons or areas lacking coverage. Because state datasets omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch incorporates proportional weighting from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections published in 2023 (based on 2022 data) across each age bracket. Under these combined SA2 modeling parameters, demographic expansion in the suburb of Beachmere is projected to track slightly below the median of Australian statistical areas, adding 510 persons by 2041 to register an overall increase of 9.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
94 new dwellings have been approved in Beachmere over the past five years, an average of 18 a year. That is 4.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 85% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Beachmere averages around 18 dwellings approved annually, amounting to an estimated 94 homes across the preceding 5 financial years, with 8 approvals logged to date in FY-25. Across the 5 financial years from FY-21 and FY-25, the ratio of 1.6 new residents per year per dwelling constructed pointed to balanced supply and demand conditions, which shifted to -1.7 people per dwelling across the last 2 financial years to indicate enhanced equilibrium. Newly built residences carry an average construction cost of $426,000.
Residential building approvals consist of 85.0% detached dwellings and 15.0% attached dwellings, preserving the community's low-density profile with detached properties tailored to buyers seeking spacious family accommodation. A low development tempo is further illustrated by a ratio of 492 people in the area for every approved dwelling. Projections based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate indicate Beachmere will gain 445 residents by 2041. Current residential development activity remains well aligned with anticipated community requirements, fostering balanced property conditions without generating severe cost escalation.

Bruce Highway Upgrade - Anzac Avenue to Caboolture-Bribie Island Road
A major 18.8 kilometre upgrade of the Bruce Highway between Anzac Avenue at North Lakes and Caboolture-Bribie Island Road at Caboolture, designed to address congestion on a corridor carrying up to 110,000 vehicles per day. Between Anzac Avenue and Uhlmann Road, the existing median will be repurposed to add an extra lane in each direction, increasing capacity from three to four lanes each way over a 12.9 kilometre section. Between Uhlmann Road and Caboolture-Bribie Island Road, multi-lane one-way collector-distributor roads will be built on both sides of the highway to separate local trips from through traffic and reduce weaving around interchanges and service centres.The project includes replacing the Frawley Avenue/Potassium Street and Arthur Drewett Drive overpasses with longer, higher bridges, replacing the Burpengary Creek bridges, upgrading the Uhlmann Road, Buchanan Road and Caboolture-Bribie Island Road interchanges, and delivering a separated active transport corridor with pedestrian and cycle facilities on the western side of the highway. Planning began in 2023 and a preferred solution was confirmed in mid-2025 following two phases of community consultation. Detailed onsite investigations and early works started in mid-2025. Funding has been committed to detailed design and construction of the Anzac Avenue to Uhlmann Road section, while the remaining sections await further funding decisions.
1,947 residents of Beachmere are employed, from a labour force of 2,015. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 46.0%. 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 4,192, about 84% 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
Beachmere features a balanced workforce with both white and blue collar employment, essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of only 3.4%, and 3.1% in estimated employment growth over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,947 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 1.0% below Greater Brisbane's rate of 4.3%, and workforce participation lags significantly (46.0% compared to Greater Brisbane's 70.1%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 14.5% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
The primary employment sectors for local residents consist of health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Construction represents a specialized sector for the locality, holding a concentration 1.6 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, the professional & technical sector is less prevalent, engaging 4.1% of the workforce in Beachmere against 8.9% throughout Greater Brisbane. Comparing Census working figures against local resident counts highlights a constrained volume of employment within the immediate area. Aggregated ABS and SALM figures assessed by AreaSearch show that over the 12 months to March 2026, local employment grew by 3.1% alongside a 3.5% increase in the labour force, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.4 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded a 3.2% increase in employment, a 3.4% expansion in the labour force, and a 0.1 percentage points rise in unemployment. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context for future workforce requirements in Beachmere when mapped to local industry concentrations, projecting nationwide growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Extrapolating these industry trends to the employment distribution of Beachmere indicates potential job increases of 6.4% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (representing a baseline weighting exercise for illustration that excludes 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 — 94 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,782 at the 2021 Census → 4,963 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 (SAL30190). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
