Detail
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch combining regional ABS statistical releases with 135 post-Census validated new addresses indicate that the suburb of Clifton Beach (Qld) has an estimated population of 3,489 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 297 people (9.3%) compared to the 2021 Census count of 3,192 people, calculated from ABS ERP figures published in June 2025 alongside ongoing address verifications. Currently, the suburb of Clifton Beach (Qld) records a population density of 603 persons per square kilometer, preserving generous living space and capacity for prospective development. Expanding by 9.3% since the 2021 census, the suburb of Clifton Beach (Qld) outpaced the broader SA4 region (7.6%) to emerge as a local growth frontrunner.
Net overseas migration served as the principal growth catalyst, generating roughly 50.0% of recent population additions, alongside positive contributions from both natural increase and interstate arrivals. For forward projections, AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling published in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline), transitioning to 2023 Queensland State Government SA2 series (based on 2021 data) beyond 2032 or where federal coverage is unavailable. Because state figures lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch applies age-cohort distributions aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (using 2022 baseline figures). Taking these demographic trajectories into account, the suburb of Clifton Beach (Qld) is forecast to achieve growth exceeding the national regional median, adding 530 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 boundaries, which equates to an overall expansion of 15.2% across the 16 years.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Deep Creek Estate
Masterplanned house-and-land estate by Kenfrost Homes spanning pockets near Cottesloe Drive, Clifton Beach. The Clifton Beach side launched in late 2023 with ongoing construction and sales. Estate marketing highlights generous lots, proximity to beach and schools, and on-site agents daily.
Reefsedge Resort & Waterpark
A state-of-the-art $235 million waterpark and luxury resort development on the former Paradise Palms site. The project features 22 slides, including a three-level tower and the King Cobra slide, plus wave and lagoon pools. The masterplan includes 364 villas, 127 ensuited caravan sites, and a fully renovated clubhouse. Designed as a catalytic tourism project for Far North Queensland, it expects to attract 379,000 annual visitors and create over 400 operational jobs.
The Palms
The Palms is a major masterplanned redevelopment of the former Paradise Palms Golf Course into a mixed-use precinct. The project features approximately 330 residential lots and the $210 million Reefsedge Waterpark and Tourist Park, which includes over 20 water slides, resort pools, 364 villas, and 47 caravan sites. The site also incorporates a proposed Catholic primary school and a village hub with retail and dining. Civil works are ongoing, with the waterpark and resort components targeted for a mid-2026 opening.
Breakwaters - Clifton Beach Erosion Management
Construction of three shore-connected rock breakwaters along Arlington Esplanade at Clifton Beach, designed to trap northward-moving sand and reduce long-term coastal erosion. The $2.5 million project was partly funded by more than $985,000 from the Queensland Government under the Coastal and Estuarine Risk Mitigation Program, prompted by beach damage from ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper. Works were expected to be complete by October 2025, with sand nourishment to follow, reducing the frequency of future beach replenishment.
The Golden Lakes Development
A large-scale residential development at the site of an old quarry in Kewarra Beach, Cairns. The approved project involves 216 apartments across three six-storey buildings and two single-storey buildings, with four lakeside villas. Located 20 minutes north of Cairns CBD, it features recreational facilities including a gym, pool, and walking paths surrounded by rainforest.

1,828 residents of Clifton Beach (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 1,864. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 61.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,655, about 76% 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
Clifton Beach features a qualified local labor pool with strong participation in essential services and an unemployment rate of only 1.9%, according to AreaSearch statistical modeling. As of March 2026, the employed resident count stands at 1,828, while local unemployment sits 2.0% beneath the Regional Qld benchmark of 3.9%, alongside a labor force participation rate of 61.8% compared to 64.2% across Regional Qld. Census data recorded 18.3% of workers operating from home, an outcome influenced in part by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for resident workers are health care & social assistance, accommodation & food, and education & training.
The community shows an especially high reliance on accommodation & food, where local worker representation reaches 1.6 times the regional norm. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.5% of working residents, well below the 4.5% seen across Regional Qld. Given its residential orientation, the locality exhibits a structural deficit between resident workers and locally available positions based on Census daytime working counts. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM releases show that over the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 1.8% and total employment fell by 2.5%, driving an unemployment increase of 0.7 percentage points, whereas Regional Qld posted 0.1% employment growth, a 0.3% labor force gain, and a 0.1 percentage point unemployment uptick. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26 provide sector-based guidance on local labor requirements over five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely by industry. Weighting these projections against the Clifton Beach industry distribution indicates potential local job growth of 6.8% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, representing a baseline 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 — 135 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,192 at the 2021 Census → 3,489 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 (SAL30625). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
