Detail
According to ABS demographic updates and address records validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Donnybrook (Vic.) has an estimated population of 10,229 as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 8,129 people (387.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 2,100 residents. The estimate builds on a resident population of 9,987 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025, combined with 4,372 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. This population level translates to a density of 363 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density with ample room for future expansion.
The growth rate of 387.1% in the suburb of Donnybrook (Vic.) since the 2021 census outpaced the state rise of 9.3% and the national average, making it a regional growth leader. This expansion was mostly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 88.0% of the overall population growth during recent times, though natural growth and overseas arrivals also contributed positively. For each SA2 area, AreaSearch adopts the 2024 projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas where this data is unavailable, AreaSearch uses the 2023 Victorian State Government projections, aggregating population growth from the LGA to the SA2 level through weighted averages. The resulting age group growth rates are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic shifts, the suburb of Donnybrook (Vic.) is projected to experience exceptional growth, placing it in the top 10 percent of all areas nationwide, with the population expected to increase by 26,066 residents by 2041 based on aggregated SA2 projections, representing a total increase of 252.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
4,608 new dwellings have been approved in Donnybrook (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 921 a year. That places the area in the 96th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 90 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 921 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 1,182, running ahead of 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
Analysis of building approval statistics shows that Donnybrook has averaged roughly 921 annual dwelling approvals, totaling about 4,608 residential approvals over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 1,084 approvals have been documented so far. An average inflow of 1.8 residents per approved dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25 suggests a healthy balance between supply and demand, supporting stable conditions in the local property market, while new residential builds average an expected construction cost of $361,000. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $38.9 million have been logged this financial year, reflecting robust local business activity.
Per capita building approvals in Donnybrook are 1947.0% higher than the rate for Greater Melbourne, offering prospective buyers a wider selection of properties, even though construction activity has slowed down recently. This rate also significantly exceeds the national baseline, pointing to high developer interest in the area. Detached houses make up 93.0% of the new building activity, while medium and high-density projects account for 7.0%, preserving the low-density residential profile centered on family accommodation. With approximately 9 residents per approved dwelling, the locality displays typical attributes of a developing growth corridor. Long-term projections indicate that the local population will grow by 25,824 residents by 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly estimate. Current construction trends suggest that new housing supply will keep pace with demand, maintaining favorable conditions for property buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond the forecasted baseline.

6,198 residents of Donnybrook (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 6,630. Unemployment sits at 6.5%, with participation at 88.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 7,338, about 72% 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
The local workforce exhibits high levels of education and strong representation in essential service sectors, coupled with an unemployment rate of 6.5% and a yearly employment growth rate of 17.7%. In March 2026, 6,198 local residents were employed. The unemployment rate sits 1.7 percentage points higher than the Greater Melbourne rate of 4.8%, while the participation rate is notably elevated at 88.3%, compared to 70.2% across the metropolitan area. Census data indicates that 24.1% of working residents worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and transport, postal & warehousing. The local workforce is highly concentrated in transport, postal & warehousing, with its employment share reaching 2.2 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical services represent just 6.3% of local employment, compared to a regional average of 10.1%. The comparison between local jobs and resident worker numbers indicates that this predominantly residential community offers limited local employment opportunities. Analysis of SALM and ABS figures indicates that over the 12 months ending March 2026, the employed population grew by 17.7% and the total labor force grew by 21.1%, resulting in a 2.6 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1%, labor force rise by 2.3%, and the unemployment rate tick up by 0.2 percentage points. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional context on future labor demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential employment trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with wide variation among sectors. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local industry mix yields an estimated employment increase of 6.7% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 4,372 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,100 at the 2021 Census → 10,229 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.
