Suburb (SAL) Boundary Analysis

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.

Detail

According to ABS population updates and validated addresses from AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Coomera has a population estimated at approximately 24,920 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 4,695 residents (23.2%) from the 2021 Census, when 20,225 people were recorded. This growth is calculated from an estimated resident count of 24,313 based on the June 2025 ABS ERP release, supplemented by 610 new validated addresses post-Census. The suburb of Coomera has a density of 1,020 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical AreaSearch benchmarks.

The 23.2% increase since the 2021 census outpaced the Rest of Qld (9.2%) and national figures, establishing the area as a regional growth leader. The expansion was largely fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 52.0% of the gains, though natural increase and overseas migration also contributed positively. AreaSearch utilises projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For areas missing this data and for periods after 2032, Queensland Government projections from 2023 based on 2021 records are used. Because these state figures omit age breakdowns, cohort growth is weighted using ABS Greater Capital Region projections from 2023 with a 2022 baseline. Based on these projections, the suburb of Coomera is expected to experience exceptional growth, ranking in the top 10 percent of non-metropolitan Australia. The suburb of Coomera is projected to expand by 19,139 persons by 2041, representing a 74.4% increase over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Coomera

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

1,449 new dwellings have been approved in Coomera over the past five years, an average of 289 a year. That places the area in the 96th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 270 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 26% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 22, 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

Based on building approvals data aggregated by AreaSearch, Coomera averages approximately 289 residential approvals annually. This totals 1,449 approved homes over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, with 21 approvals recorded in FY-26. With an average of 3.3 new residents for every finished dwelling over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, demand outstrips supply, which tends to drive up prices and heighten rivalry among purchasers. Newly built dwellings carry an average estimated value of $452,000, slightly higher than the regional benchmark, indicating a focus on premium construction.

In addition, commercial approvals have reached $90.7 million this financial year, pointing to robust commercial development. Coomera shows strong residential development relative to the Rest of Qld, with per capita construction running 47.0% above the regional benchmark over the 5 year period, offering options for buyers while supporting values, despite a recent slowdown in activity. This level is much higher than national figures, demonstrating high developer confidence. Recent building approvals consist of 26.0% detached houses and 74.0% multi-dwelling options like townhouses and apartments. This shift toward denser housing provides affordable entry points and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-home buyers, representing a notable departure from the existing housing stock of 73.0% houses due to a scarcity of development sites and changing consumer preferences. There are about 141 people for every residential approval, highlighting a growing market. Projections indicate Coomera will add 18,532 residents by 2041 compared to the most recent quarterly estimates. If current building rates persist, residential supply may not keep pace with population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and support upward price trends.

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 — 610 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (20,225 at the 2021 Census → 24,920 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 (SAL30688). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Coomera suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Coomera page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Coomera data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Apr 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
