Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Bohle Plains has an estimated population of approximately 5,588, according to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS population updates for the wider region alongside newly validated addresses recorded since the Census. When compared to the 2021 Census tally of 3,989 people, this represents an expansion of 1,599 people (40.1%). This demographic shift incorporates an estimated resident population of 5,337 derived from the ABS ERP release in June 2025 together with 545 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With a residential density of 176 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous personal space and scope for future expansion.
The 40.1% surge in the suburb of Bohle Plains outpaced both the SA4 region (7.2%) and the surrounding SA3 area, establishing it as a primary regional growth hub. Interstate migration served as the foremost catalyst, generating roughly 62.0% of recent population gains, while overseas migration and natural increase also provided positive contributions. Demographic modeling by AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) for individual SA2 regions, supplemented by 2023 Queensland State Government SA2 figures based on 2021 data for post-2032 horizons or uncovered zones. Because these state figures omit age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional distributions aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Long-term demographic forecasts indicate extraordinary expansion for the suburb of Bohle Plains, ranking within the top 10 percent of non-metropolitan localities nationwide. SA2-level aggregate forecasts project an addition of 2,361 persons to 2041, representing a total increase of 37.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
417 new dwellings have been approved in Bohle Plains over the past five years, an average of 83 a year. That places the area in the 96th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 15 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 109 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 216, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Bohle Plains has maintained a construction pace of around 83 new dwellings annually, accumulating approximately 417 homes across the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 216 approvals have been logged. Residential creation has been accompanied by an average intake of 2.8 new residents per year for each dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demonstrating steady structural demand. Expected construction costs average $446,000 per home, sitting below regional benchmarks and delivering relatively accessible entry points for purchasers.
On the commercial planning front, approvals total $4.9 million this financial year, pointing to modest commercial building activity. Per capita residential building approvals in Bohle Plains outstrip Rest of Qld by 440.0%, creating an extensive pipeline of property choices for incoming buyers. This rate sits well above national figures, highlighting intense developer engagement. Furthermore, recent building activity has consisted exclusively of standalone houses, reinforcing the low-density urban fabric and catering to households seeking detached homes and spacious allotments. Registering around 29 people per dwelling approval, the locality exhibits clear hallmarks of an expanding growth corridor. Long-range forecasts project Bohle Plains will absorb 2,110 residents through to 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction volumes remain well-matched to anticipated demographic expansion, supporting balanced property market dynamics free from excessive upward pricing pressure.

3,282 residents of Bohle Plains are employed, from a labour force of 3,325. Unemployment sits at 1.3%, with participation at 82.7%. 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, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 4,165, about 75% 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 labour market in Bohle Plains is defined by high workforce engagement and strong representation across essential services, registering an unemployment rate of only 1.3% alongside an estimated 2.6% annual employment increase based on aggregated statistical area data from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, employed residents total 3,282. The local jobless rate sits 2.6% below the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld, while the participation rate reaches an elevated 82.7% compared to 64.2% across Regional Qld. Census records show a modest 4.4% of workers operated from home, though figures were subject to Covid-19 lockdown influences.
Public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and retail trade constitute the primary employment sectors for resident workers. Bohle Plains displays an exceptional concentration in public administration & safety, where the local employment proportion is 4.3 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.1% of the workforce, lagging Regional Qld's 4.5%. Comparing the Census working population against resident workers indicates that internal job generation within the immediate area remains limited. Over the recent 12-month period, AreaSearch evaluation of broader ABS and SALM metrics shows local employment expanded by 2.6% while the labour force grew by 2.8%, causing the unemployment rate to edge up by 0.2 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1%, the labour force increase by 0.3%, and unemployment lift by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide forward visibility over five and ten-year terms. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with divergence across sectors. When mapped to the local industry composition, employment for Bohle Plains is estimated to rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, based on a simple weighted extrapolation for illustration without incorporating localized population 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 — 545 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,989 at the 2021 Census → 5,588 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 (SAL30300). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
