Geebung

Geebung is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

As of November 2025, the estimated population of the Geebung statistical area (Lv2) is around 4,987 people. This reflects an increase from the 2021 Census figure of 4,850 people, a rise of 137 individuals or approximately 2.8%. The latest estimate, 4,977 residents, was derived by AreaSearch through examination of the June 2024 ABS ERP data release and validation of 34 new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 1,315 persons per square kilometer, exceeding national averages assessed by AreaSearch. Overseas migration accounted for roughly 80% of overall population growth recently.

AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered or years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections from 2023, based on 2021 data, are used. Age category splits for these state projections are applied proportionally according to ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023, based on 2022 data. Future demographic trends indicate a projected decline of 32 persons by 2041 within the Geebung (SA2). However, specific age cohorts like the 75 to 84 group are expected to grow, with an anticipated increase of 140 individuals.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Geebung according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

Geebung has averaged approximately 12 new dwelling approvals annually. Between financial years FY-21 and FY-25, around 62 homes were approved, with an additional 10 approved in FY-26 so far. On average, about 1.9 new residents arrive per year for each new home over the past five financial years.

This indicates a balanced supply and demand market supporting stable conditions. The average construction cost value of new homes is around $639,000, suggesting developers target the premium market segment with higher-end properties.

In FY-26, approximately $5.4 million in commercial approvals have been registered, indicating limited focus on commercial development. Recent building activity consists solely of standalone homes, maintaining Geebung's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited for buyers seeking space. With around 332 people per dwelling approval, Geebung exhibits characteristics of a low-density area. Given the expected stable or declining population, reduced pressure on housing is anticipated, potentially creating opportunities for buyers in the area.

Geebung has very high levels of nearby infrastructure activity, ranking in the top 10% nationally
