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
Bushland Beach has an estimated 7,433 residents, up from 6,641 at the 2021 Census — a change of 792 people, or 11.9%. Growth has averaged 1.5% a year over five years, faster than 77% of areas nationally. 111 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Natural increase accounts for 47.0% of that increase. That puts 843 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining ABS regional population updates and 111 validated new addresses recorded post-Census, the suburb of Bushland Beach has reached an estimated population of approximately 7,433 as of Aug 2026. This equates to an expansion of 792 people (11.9%) compared to the 6,641 people counted in the 2021 Census. The calculation stems from an estimated resident population of 7,222 derived from the ABS June 2025 ERP figures alongside subsequent address additions. Consequently, the suburb of Bushland Beach registers a population density of 842 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader benchmarks tracked by AreaSearch.
Outpacing both the wider SA3 area and the SA4 region (7.2%), the suburb of Bushland Beach stands out as a regional growth leader with its 11.9% post-2021 census gain. While interstate migration and overseas migration also contributed positively, natural growth served as the primary demographic engine, generating roughly 47.0% of overall population increases during recent periods. Demographic projections across SA2 boundaries utilise ABS/Geoscience Australia figures published in 2024 (taking 2022 as their baseline), supplemented for post-2032 horizons and uncovered SA2 areas by Queensland State Government SA2 releases from 2023 based on 2021 figures. Because state datasets omit specific age brackets, AreaSearch distributes age cohort growth using ABS Greater Capital Region proportions published in 2023 from 2022 data. Forward-looking aggregated SA2-level estimates position the suburb of Bushland Beach among the top 10 percent of regional Australian territories for demographic expansion, with the population projected to expand by 3,688 persons to 2041, representing a total 16-year increase of 46.8%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
151 new dwellings have been approved in Bushland Beach over the past five years, an average of 30 a year. That places the area in the 67th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 30 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 83% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 36, broadly in line with 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
Building approval records compiled from ABS statistical data by AreaSearch show that Bushland Beach averaged roughly 30 residential dwelling approvals per annum, accumulating an estimated 151 homes across the prior 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, 36 approvals have been documented. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 3.2 new residents arrived for each dwelling built over the past 5 financial years, creating an environment where residential demand outstrips newly delivered stock, generally fostering competitive purchasing conditions and upward price momentum. The mean anticipated construction cost for new dwellings sits below regional figures at $441,000, pointing to relatively affordable development opportunities.
Concurrently, non-residential activity remains minor, with $302,000 in commercial approvals lodged this financial year, underscoring a strong residential emphasis. Per capita building activity in Bushland Beach tracks closely with Rest of Qld, preserving structural alignment with wider regional trends. Recent residential construction comprises 83.0% detached houses alongside 17.0% attached dwellings, largely upholding the established low-density setting tailored to family living and space requirements. Nonetheless, this introduces greater diversity relative to the existing structural baseline of 98.0% houses, reflecting shifting buyer preferences and constraints on land availability. Currently, local development metrics record approximately 203 people per dwelling approval within this developing residential market. Long-term projections indicate that Bushland Beach is poised to expand by 3,477 residents through to 2041, measured against the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If prevailing construction volumes remain unchanged, residential additions may fail to keep pace with population inflows, potentially intensifying buyer competition and reinforcing upward price pressure.

3,697 residents of Bushland Beach are employed, from a labour force of 3,796. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 66.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,696, about 77% 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
Workforce data aggregated across statistical areas by AreaSearch indicates that Bushland Beach maintains a capable labour pool heavily oriented toward essential services, supported by a low unemployment rate of 2.6%. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,697, with local joblessness sitting 1.3% below the Regional Qld benchmark of 3.9%. Labour force participation is healthy at 66.9%, exceeding the Regional Qld figure of 64.2%. Census figures showed 6.8% of workers operating from home, though this metric was subject to Covid-19 lockdown circumstances. Resident employment centers primarily on public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and construction.
Concentration is especially pronounced in public administration & safety, where the local representation reaches 2.3 times the regional average. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.5% of workers compared to 4.5% regionally. A comparison between Census resident counts and local workplace numbers confirms that the locality is overwhelmingly residential with constrained internal commercial employment opportunities. Analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, indicates that the 12-month period witnessed a 3.3% reduction in the labour force and a 3.7% drop in employment, which led to a 0.4 percentage point increase in unemployment. This trend stands in contrast to Regional Qld, where employment increased by 0.1%, the labour force expanded by 0.3%, and unemployment grew by 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context regarding potential future demand in Bushland Beach. These projections, which span five and ten-year periods, have been overlaid with the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary considerably across different industry sectors. When these industry-specific projections are applied to Bushland Beach's employment mix, local employment is expected to rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, though this represents a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized 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 — 111 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,641 at the 2021 Census → 7,433 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 (SAL30460). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
