Gembrook has an estimated 2,662 residents, up from 2,559 at the 2021 Census — a change of 103 people, or 4.0%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. Density is about 13 people per 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
Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census Gembrook's population is estimated at around 2,662 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 103 people (4.0%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,559 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 2,658, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 22 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 13.2 persons per square kilometer, a level providing ample space per person.
Population growth for the area was primarily driven by natural growth that contributed approximately 56.00000000000001% of overall population gains during recent periods. VIC State Government projections and ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year are utilized by AreaSearch to map future demography. For statistical divisions lacking direct coverage, figures are calculated via weighted aggregation of population changes from local government to SA2 scales. Age cohort expansions determined from these consolidations are projected forward from 2032 to 2041. Future expectations suggest that the suburb of Gembrook will experience population gains tracking slightly below the national median, with local numbers projected to expand by 152 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2-level figures, indicating a total growth of 5.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
55 new dwellings have been approved in Gembrook over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That is 4.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, 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
Analysis by AreaSearch of ABS building permit figures distributed across statistical boundaries shows that the suburb of Gembrook has averaged approximately 11 dwellings in yearly approvals, translating to an estimated 55 homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, 4 approvals have been registered. Given that 1.3 people relocated to the locality for every completed residence built over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), supply and demand remain well-balanced, supporting a stable property market, though recent records indicate this has quickened to 5.5 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, pointing to rising demand and shrinking supply.
Approved developments carry an average construction value of $847,000, revealing that developers are targeting premium, upscale residential projects. Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $32.3 million this financial year, showing strong commercial development momentum. Compared with Greater Melbourne, building activity in the suburb of Gembrook is notably restrained, coming in 59.0% below the regional average per person. This limited construction pipeline typically supports demand and protects values for existing properties. Recent building approvals consist of 80.0% detached houses and 20.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving the traditional low-density lifestyle of the locality with a focus on family-oriented residences. This indicates a clear shift from the current housing mix (presently 98.0% houses), signaling a decline in available development sites and reflecting changing buyer needs for more diverse, affordable housing. The ratio of 883 people per dwelling approval highlights a quiet, low-activity building landscape. Long-term projections indicate the suburb of Gembrook will add 148 residents through to 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. In light of existing construction trends, new dwelling supply is expected to easily satisfy this demand, maintaining favorable conditions for buyers and potentially allowing population growth to outpace current forecasts.

1,598 residents of Gembrook are employed, from a labour force of 1,636. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 75.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% 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
The suburb of Gembrook has a highly skilled labor force, with particularly strong representation in the construction sector, an unemployment rate of just 2.3%, and 5.3% estimated job growth over the past year, according to consolidated statistical area data from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, 1,598 residents are employed, while the local unemployment rate sits 2.4% below the Greater Melbourne level of 4.8%, and workforce participation is exceptionally high (75.8% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%). Census responses indicate that a moderate 24.1% of residents worked from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 lockdowns.
Residential employment is largely concentrated in construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The suburb of Gembrook shows a clear industrial specialization in construction, with its employment share standing at 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented at 5.8% compared to the metropolitan average of 10.1%. While some local jobs are available, Census comparisons of the working population to the local population indicate that many residents travel outside the area for employment. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical regions, during the year ending March 2026, employment figures grew by 5.3% and the total labor force grew by 5.2%, maintaining a stable unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded employment growth of 2.1% and labor force growth of 2.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase. National forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide additional context for future labor demand within the suburb of Gembrook. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Weighting these industry-specific projections against the local employment profile suggests employment for residents should rise by 6.1% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for illustration and does not incorporate local population forecasts).

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 — 22 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,559 at the 2021 Census → 2,662 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL20979). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
