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.

Population
D'Aguilar lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends
As per AreaSearch's analysis of ABS population updates and new addresses validated since May 2026, the suburb of D'Aguilar has an estimated population of around 2,207. This figure represents a 49.7% increase from the 2021 Census count of 1,474 people. The current population is inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of 2,116 residents, based on their examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2025, and an additional 278 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 216 persons per square kilometer. D'Aguilar's population growth since the 2021 census exceeded both national (9.3%) and state averages, making it a notable growth leader in the region. Interstate migration contributed approximately 82.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although natural growth and overseas migration also played positive roles.
AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data or years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections are used, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data. However, these state projections do not provide age category splits; thus, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort when utilizing state projections. Looking ahead, an above median population growth is projected for the suburb of D'Aguilar. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, the area is expected to grow by 457 persons to reach a total population of around 2,664 by 2041, reflecting a 16.6% increase over the 16-year period.

Queensland Energy Roadmap 2026
The Queensland Energy Roadmap 2026 is a state policy framework released on 10 October 2025. It reverses earlier plans by extending state-owned coal asset operations until at least 2046 supported by a 1.6 billion dollar maintenance guarantee. The plan focuses on a market-driven approach to Regional Energy Hubs, doubling gas capacity to 8.3GW by 2035, and accelerating large-scale battery storage. Significant infrastructure includes the 400MW Central Queensland Gas Power Tender and the CopperString Eastern Link (330kV) transmission project.
Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan - South East Queensland
The Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan is a long-term strategy to transition the state's energy grid. In 2026, the plan has evolved under the Queensland Energy Roadmap, which extends the operation of state-owned coal assets until 2046 while continuing the development of the SuperGrid. A primary feature in South East Queensland is the Borumba Pumped Hydro Project (2,000 MW), currently in the exploratory works phase to gather geotechnical data. Accompanying this are major transmission projects, including the Borumba to Halys and Borumba to Woolooga 500kV lines, which are undergoing environmental assessments and Public Environment Report (PER) development as of mid-2026.

South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan and Supplement (SEQIP & SEQIS)
The South East Queensland Infrastructure Supplement (SEQIS), released in December 2023, provides a strategic framework for coordinating regional infrastructure to support housing supply and growth across the 12 SEQ local government areas. It aligns with ShapingSEQ 2023 and prioritises Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games infrastructure delivery. A full South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan (SEQIP) is now being developed concurrently with the review of the SEQ Regional Plan, which will give the infrastructure plan statutory weight. The region is projected to reach a population of around 6 million by 2046, requiring nearly 900,000 new homes and one million new jobs. Key focus areas include unlocking housing supply, delivering transport infrastructure such as Cross River Rail and the Coomera Connector, and supporting the $2 billion Residential Activation Fund.
