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
Benalla has an estimated 10,864 residents, up from 10,822 at the 2021 Census. 457 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Density is about 35 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
Based on scrutiny of ABS population updates for the wider region and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Benalla has a population estimated at approximately 10,864 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 42 people (0.4%) since the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 10,822 residents. This shift is deduced from the resident population of 10,862, estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 457 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This size of population corresponds to a density ratio of 34 persons per square kilometer, a level offering plenty of space per person. The 0.4% growth in the suburb of Benalla since census positions it within 0.7 percentage points of the SA3 area (1.1%), indicating competitive growth fundamentals. Population growth for the area was majorly driven by interstate migration that contributed approximately 83.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch is utilising the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections released in 2023 with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied across all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Considering the projected demographic shifts, over this period, projections indicate a decline in overall population, with the population of the suburb of Benalla expected to reduce by 676 persons by 2041 according to this methodology. However, growth across specific age cohorts is anticipated, led by the 35 to 44 age group, which is projected to expand by 192 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
437 new dwellings have been approved in Benalla over the past five years, an average of 87 a year. That places the area in the 65th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 86 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 174, running ahead of 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
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, Benalla has seen around 87 new homes approved annually, with an estimated 437 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 160 so far in FY-26. At an average of just 0.4 new residents per year arriving per new home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), supply is meeting or surpassing demand, providing greater buyer choice while supporting potential for population growth above projections, while new homes are being built at an average value of $377,000—somewhat higher than regional norms—reflecting quality-focused development.
There have also been $23.4 million in commercial approvals this financial year, indicating steady commercial investment activity. When measured against Rest of Vic., Benalla has slightly more development (30.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period), maintaining good buyer choice while supporting existing property values. New building activity shows 93.0% detached houses and 7.0% townhouses or apartments, maintaining the area's traditional low density character with a focus on family homes appealing to those seeking space. The location has approximately 129 people per dwelling approval, indicating a low density market. Given stable or declining population forecasts, Benalla may experience less housing pressure, creating favourable conditions for buyers.

Benalla Zone Substation Upgrade
A 16.5 million dollar lifecycle renewal of the Benalla Zone Substation on the Midland Highway at Benalla, delivered by AusNet as part of its wider network upgrade program. The project replaced 66kV switchgear, protection and control equipment that had reached the end of its serviceable life, extending the facility's operating life by a further 50 years. One of the 66kV powerlines running out of the substation supplies more than 12,500 customers across the Benalla Rural City and Mansfield Shire areas, including Mansfield, Bonnie Doon, Jamieson, Merrijig, Mount Buller and Woods Point.The critical asset switchover from old to new equipment was carried out during a single planned full-day outage on Sunday 4 May 2025, scheduled on a weekend and ahead of the alpine snow season to limit disruption to schools, commercial and industrial customers and regional tourism. AusNet used the same outage window to complete more than 70 parallel maintenance jobs across the two shires, including power pole and fuse replacements, reducing the need for future outages. Remaining substation works were programmed for completion in March 2026, and the project has since been retired from AusNet's active project register.

4,724 residents of Benalla are employed, from a labour force of 5,049. Unemployment sits at 6.4%, with participation at 53.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Benalla features a balanced workforce spanning white and blue collar employment, with essential services sectors well represented, and an unemployment rate of 6.4%, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 4,724 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 2.8% above Regional Vic.'s rate of 3.7%, and workforce participation lags significantly (53.9% compared to Regional Vic.'s 61.1%). Based on Census responses, a low 12.0% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. The key industries of employment among residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
The area shows particularly strong specialization in construction, with an employment share of 1.4 times the regional level. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing employs just 4.8% of local workers, below Regional Vic.'s 7.5%. While local employment opportunities exist in the area, it appears many residents commute elsewhere for work, based on the count of Census working population to local population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, the 12-month period saw labour force decreasing by 2.2% alongside a 2.2% employment decline, with unemployment remaining essentially unchanged. This compares to Regional Vic., where employment fell by 0.1%, labour force contracted by 0.3%, and unemployment fell 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Benalla. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Benalla's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.2% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account 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 — 457 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,822 at the 2021 Census → 10,864 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 (SAL20204). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
