Sales Detail
Bunyip has an estimated 3,495 residents, up from 3,131 at the 2021 Census — a change of 364 people, or 11.6%. Growth has averaged 2.8% a year over five years, faster than 76% of areas nationally. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 40.0% of that increase. That puts 144 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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch, drawing on broader ABS population releases and 40 validated new addresses recorded since the Census date, place the resident count for the suburb of Bunyip at approximately 3,495 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 364 people (11.6%) compared to the 2021 Census baseline of 3,131 people. Underlying this figure is an estimated resident population of 3,464 derived from the ABS ERP release in June 2025 alongside post-Census address additions. Human density stands at 144 persons per square kilometer, indicating generous personal space and scope for future residential expansion.
By expanding 11.6% since the 2021 census, the suburb of Bunyip outpaced both the state mark of 9.5% and nationwide averages, establishing itself as a regional growth hotspot. Inward interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 40.0% of recent population increases, though natural increase and overseas arrivals also registered positive contributions. Projections for the suburb of Bunyip incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling anchored to 2022 as the base year, complemented by 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA datasets where local coverage is absent, using weighted LGA-to-SA2 growth aggregation. Furthermore, cohort-specific growth rates from these aggregations are applied to all locations across the 2032 to 2041 period. Based on these demographic models, the suburb of Bunyip is expected to achieve above median population growth relative to other statistical areas evaluated by AreaSearch, expanding by 545 persons to 2041 according to aggregated SA2-level figures, which represents an overall increase of 14.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
145 new dwellings have been approved in Bunyip over the past five years, an average of 29 a year. That places the area in the 74th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 28 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 89% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 20, 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
Data on residential construction permits compiled by AreaSearch from ABS statistical area releases shows Bunyip approving roughly 29 dwellings each year, totaling approximately 145 homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) alongside 20 permits issued during FY-25 to date. An intake of 3 new residents per annum per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) points to healthy underlying demand. Meanwhile, new residential builds exhibit an average construction cost of $586,000, marginally exceeding regional benchmarks and highlighting a focus on quality builds.
In addition, commercial building approvals have reached $858,000 during this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential orientation of local development. On a per-capita basis, Bunyip records 11.0% less new building activity than Greater Melbourne, though its volume ranks within the 81st percentile among locations nationwide. The mix of building approvals is heavily weighted toward detached houses at 89.0%, with attached dwellings accounting for 11.0%, reinforcing the low-density urban character of the neighborhood for buyers seeking larger allotments. Overall, a ratio of roughly 122 people per approval illustrates an active development pipeline. Long-term urban growth models from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate indicate that Bunyip will add 514 residents through to 2041. Present construction pipelines suggest that residential additions will comfortably satisfy incoming demand, supporting favorable buyer conditions while potentially enabling population expansion beyond projected baseline figures.

1,909 residents of Bunyip are employed, from a labour force of 1,954. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 71.1%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 2,712, about 78% 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
Bunyip maintains a well-distributed labor market comprising both professional and trade vocations, highlighted by significant representation within the building sector, a low jobless rate of 2.3%, and an estimated 6.1% annual employment increase based on aggregated statistical area records from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, 1,909 residents are employed, with unemployment tracking 2.5% below the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8% and labor force participation matching closely with the metropolitan rate of 70.1%. According to Census records, 19.8% of workers were based at home, though pandemic lockdown settings should be taken into account.
Resident employment centers predominantly around construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. Specialization is particularly pronounced in construction, which captures an employment proportion 2.0 times the broader regional benchmark. In contrast, professional & technical occupations are less represented locally at 5.2%, trailing the regional level of 10.1%. Comparisons between resident counts and Census workplace data suggest local job availability remains relatively constrained. According to AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics over the 12 months to March 2026, the local job count grew by 6.1% alongside an identical 6.1% expansion in the total labor force, keeping unemployment stable. Over the same interval, Greater Melbourne recorded employment growth of 2.1%, a 2.3% rise in labor supply, and a 0.2 percentage points increase in joblessness. Further insights from national Jobs and Skills Australia projections released in Mar-26 outline broader employment trajectories over five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, overall employment is forecast to climb 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying by industry. When weighted against Bunyip's industry profile, local employment is projected to expand by 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, representing an illustrative structural extrapolation that excludes localized demographic 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 — 40 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,131 at the 2021 Census → 3,495 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.
