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.

Sales Detail
Earlville has an estimated 4,454 residents, up from 4,200 at the 2021 Census — a change of 254 people, or 6.0%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. That puts 1,262 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, the suburb of Earlville has an estimated population of approximately 4,454, determined through AreaSearch evaluation of broader regional ABS population updates alongside 68 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. When compared against the 2021 Census tally of 4,200 people, this indicates an expansion of 254 people (6.0%). This trajectory is drawn from the resident population figure of 4,437 calculated by AreaSearch following the ABS June 2025 ERP data release. Across the suburb of Earlville, population density stands at 1,261 persons per square kilometer, tracking higher than the national benchmark across AreaSearch locations.
With its 6.0% post-census gain, the locality remains within 0.9 percentage points of the wider SA3 area (6.9%), pointing to solid underlying growth. Inflows from interstate migration served as the primary contributor, accounting for roughly 39.0% of recent population increases, supplemented by positive additions across overseas migration and natural growth. Population forecasting by AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas omitted from this series or extending beyond 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 area projections released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are applied. Because these state figures omit age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates proportional growth weightings matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 from 2022 data) across age groups. Over the 16 years running to 2041, aggregated SA2-level modelling indicates the suburb of Earlville will expand by 409 persons, representing an overall rise of 8.8% and placing demographic growth marginally beneath the median recorded across Australian non-metropolitan areas.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
111 new dwellings have been approved in Earlville over the past five years, an average of 22 a year. That is 2.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, 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
Residential construction figures derived by AreaSearch from ABS building approval data show that Earlville recorded an average of roughly 22 new dwelling approvals per year, accumulating an estimated 111 homes over the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 8 approvals have been logged. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the local influx averaged 4.2 new residents per year per dwelling built, indicating that structural demand has outpaced newly delivered supply and created conditions typical of heightened buyer competition and upward pricing pressure. Newly approved dwellings have had an average expected construction cost of $626,000, aligning with regional benchmarks.
Non-residential building activity has been subdued, with $55,000 in commercial approvals logged during this financial year. Residential building approval volumes per capita in Earlville track at roughly two-thirds the level observed across Rest of Qld, ranking the locality in the 23rd percentile nationally; this constrained flow of new stock restricts options for purchasers while reinforcing demand for established housing. This below-average building pace reflects both the established fabric of the area and potential planning constraints. Approvals across new residential development are evenly divided, comprising 50.0% detached houses and 50.0% attached dwellings, offering attainable price points for first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. A mature profile is further illustrated by a ratio of approximately 635 people per approval. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projections, Earlville is forecast to add 392 residents by 2041. Sustaining current construction rates would allow incoming residential supply to comfortably absorb projected household growth, establishing favourable buying conditions and enabling the local population to potentially expand beyond existing baseline expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Bayview Heights to White Rock Underground Cable Project
Essential maintenance and refurbishment of 2.7km of 275kV underground high voltage transmission cables installed in 1997. The project addresses critical infrastructure risks through the removal of approximately 400 high-risk trees and the refurbishment of cable joint bays. Significant community enhancements include the installation of park benches, water bubblers with dog bowls, and shade structures along the Crowley Creek walking path. As of 2026, core transmission works are complete, and the project is in the extended maintenance phase for the establishment of 24,000 new compatible plants, with final completion expected in 2027.
Bayview Heights Reservoir Refurbishment
Remediation works are ongoing at the Bayview Heights water reservoir as part of a critical package to extend the service life of nine reservoirs across the Cairns region. Following an unsuccessful re-lining attempt in 2024 due to deteriorated roof conditions, the reservoir remains offline through the 2025-26 wet season. Current plans involve removing the roof in the 2026 dry season to restore serviceability. The project is vital for maintaining network pressure and water security, particularly during peak demand and extreme weather events which recently triggered Level 4 water restrictions in March 2026.
Cairns Reservoirs Remediation Package 2
Remediation works are underway across nine Cairns Regional Council reservoirs at eight sites: Mayer Street, Panguna, Bayview Large, Barron View, Runnymede, Brinsmead, Dempsey Street A and B, and Crest Close. The program includes concrete rehabilitation and strengthening, internal protective coatings, steel roof replacements at two reservoirs, access upgrades, minor civil works, access road repairs and temporary water supply works to improve water quality, reliability and security. Council reported in October 2025 that safety assessments, geotechnical surveys and structural testing had been completed, with repair and cleaning works progressing.
Woree Social and Affordable Housing Precinct
Queensland's largest social and affordable housing precinct is currently under construction at a former drive-in site in Woree, delivering 490 modern, energy-efficient apartments for seniors over 55 and people living with disability. The project utilizes innovative volumetric timber modular construction delivered by Modscape and FCC Construction Australia, backed by the Queensland Government, Tetris Capital, and Community Housing Limited.
Westcourt Walking Network Plan
A comprehensive infrastructure strategy endorsed by Cairns Regional Council and the Department of Transport and Main Roads to transform pedestrian connectivity within a 2km radius of the DFO Shopping Centre. The plan identifies priority infrastructure upgrades, including missing footpath links and improved crossings, to enhance safety and accessibility for schools, community facilities, and public transport hubs. It is supported by the 2025/2026 Active Travel Program with a city-wide budget allocation of $3 million to address high-priority missing links and safety concerns.
NQ Petro Service Station and Convenience Store
Development of a 24-hour service station and convenience store on a 3,761 sqm site at the former Woree drive-in theatre. The project includes fuel dispensers under a canopy, a retail building featuring a food and drink outlet, and two mixed-use tenancies. The site is strategically positioned to serve the adjacent 490-unit social housing precinct and handles high traffic volume from the Bruce Highway.
Enclave Cairns Residential Estate
Enclave Cairns is a boutique residential subdivision located in Earlville, approximately 7km from the Cairns CBD. Developed by Urbex, the estate covers 5.4 hectares and consists of 60 residential homesites ranging from 397sqm to 830sqm. Marketed as the last available near-CBD land release, the project features tropical urbanism design, local parklands, and proximity to major shopping hubs like Stockland Cairns and DFO Cairns. The estate is now fully sold out.
Manoora Infill Housing Development
A council-approved infill development delivering 150 rental units across three standalone buildings in Manoora, Cairns. The mix comprises 45 one-bedroom and 105 two-bedroom units with approximately 160 car parks. The site at 10-30 Pease Street and 164-172 Hoare Street replaces around 14 caravan park cabins and two houses. Developer NQ Villas Pty Ltd is seeking state and federal government funding support before commencing construction, targeting a start in 2025. The project addresses a critical shortage of rental housing stock in Cairns and is designed for low-to-medium cost occupancy.
2,132 residents of Earlville are employed, from a labour force of 2,253. Unemployment sits at 5.4%, with participation at 59.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Workforce data aggregated by AreaSearch indicates that Earlville maintains a skilled labour pool with strong representation across essential service sectors, accompanied by an unemployment rate of 5.4%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,132, while the jobless rate stood 1.5% higher than the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld. Labour force participation reached 59.9%, trailing the Regional Qld benchmark of 64.2%. Findings from the Census revealed that 11.2% of workers operated from home, though broader Covid-19 restrictions should be considered when assessing this level. Employment among local residents is concentrated primarily within health care & social assistance, accommodation & food, and retail trade.
By contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.7% of the workforce, well below the regional standard of 4.5%. A comparison between local resident jobholders and positions physically located in the suburb suggests that substantial numbers of workers travel outside the immediate area for their daily employment. Analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical areas indicates that over the 12 months to March 2026, the labour force fell by 1.6% alongside a 3.8% drop in employment, which caused the unemployment rate to climb by 2.2 percentage points. In contrast, the Regional Qld area saw employment grow by 0.1% and the labour force expand by 0.3%, with unemployment increasing by 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context regarding potential future demand in Earlville. These projections span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid onto the local employment profile to estimate growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific projections are applied to Earlville's employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though this represents a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localised population 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 — 68 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,200 at the 2021 Census → 4,454 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 (SAL30917). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
