Sales Detail
Dundowran Beach has an estimated 2,551 residents, up from 2,299 at the 2021 Census — a change of 252 people, or 11.0%. Growth has averaged 2.1% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 83.0% of that increase. That puts 293 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
As of Aug 2026, demographic assessments combining regional ABS updates with AreaSearch's post-Census address verification place the resident count of the suburb of Dundowran Beach at approximately 2,551. This represents an expansion of 252 people (11.0%) from the 2,299 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such growth builds upon the 2,514 resident benchmark established by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP figures, supplemented by 5 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The suburb of Dundowran Beach features a population density of 292 persons per square kilometer, offering generous open space per resident alongside capacity for future expansion.
Outperforming both the broader nation and Rest of Qld (9.4%), the suburb of Dundowran Beach's 11.0% expansion since the 2021 census positions it at the forefront of regional growth. Inbound interstate migration served as the primary catalyst, generating roughly 83.0% of recent population additions, while natural increase and overseas arrivals also registered positive contributions. Demographic modeling applies the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections based on 2022 data, shifting to 2023 Queensland State Government SA2 series (using 2021 baselines) for unmapped areas and horizons extending beyond 2032. Because the state releases lack age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch aligns age groupings by adopting cohort weighting distributions from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region series (anchored in 2022). Forward-looking demographic projections place the suburb of Dundowran Beach among the top quartile of non-metropolitan growth destinations, with consolidated SA2 data pointing to an addition of 601 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 22.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
21 new dwellings have been approved in Dundowran Beach over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That places the area in the 69th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 21, 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
An evaluation of ABS building approval records by AreaSearch shows that the residential pipeline has averaged approximately 4 dwellings approved per year, totaling 21 homes across the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, alongside 21 approved during FY-25 to date. An inflow averaging 6.3 people per year for each newly erected home across the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25 highlights substantial excess demand over supply, a trend that typically fuels buyer rivalry and elevates property values. Meanwhile, typical residential building values stand at $502,000, aligning with broader regional construction costs.
Commercial development remains minimal, recording $173,000 in approved works during the current financial year. Residential building volume sits noticeably below the regional standard, tracking 77.0% below the per-capita rate of Rest of Qld and trailing the national benchmark, which indicates a mature residential landscape and potential planning barriers. This constrained supply pipeline typically reinforces asset values and sustains buyer interest for established dwellings, even with a recent uptick in building approvals. Recent approvals consist exclusively of detached residences, preserving the neighborhood's traditional low-density fabric and spacious family appeal. The area records approximately 152 people per dwelling approval, pointing to an expanding residential base. Long-range demographic projections anticipate an addition of 564 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figure. If residential construction remains at its current pace, additions to the housing stock could fall behind population intake, further driving buyer competition and supporting upward pricing trajectories.

1,246 residents of Dundowran Beach are employed, from a labour force of 1,266. Unemployment sits at 1.6%, with participation at 58.6%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 2,043, about 80% 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
Characterized by an adept local workforce and strong representation across vital public services, the area recorded an unemployment rate of only 1.6% alongside a 6.1% yearly rise in employment, according to AreaSearch regional aggregations. Employment figures for March 2026 show 1,246 working residents, while joblessness sits 2.3% below the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld. Labor force participation stands at 58.6%, trailing Regional Qld's 64.2%. Census figures indicated that 12.2% of workers operated from home, though this metric was captured during period-specific Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. Key employment sectors for the local labor force comprise health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction.
A clear industry concentration exists in health care & social assistance, where local workforce representation is 1.2 times that of the surrounding region. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.9% of workers, compared to 4.5% throughout Regional Qld. Comparing resident employee counts with the local workplace population from Census records highlights a heavily residential community with restricted internal commercial employment. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics over the 12 months leading to March 2026, a 6.1% surge in employment paired with a 5.1% rise in the labor pool reduced the local jobless rate by 0.9 percentage points. Over the same period, Regional Qld recorded a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% expansion in the workforce, and a 0.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-term labor forecasts released in Mar-26 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding prospective occupational demand. Nationally, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with sectoral outcomes varying widely. Applying these industry benchmarks to the local occupational breakdown projects employment growth of 6.7% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (a basic proportional distribution 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 — 5 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,299 at the 2021 Census → 2,551 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 (SAL30898). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
