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
Gilgandra has an estimated 2,960 residents. The population has thinned by an average 0.5% a year over five years, slower than 95% of areas nationally. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to population updates from the ABS for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch, the suburb of Gilgandra had a population of approximately 2,960 in May 2026. This represents a decline of 23 residents (0.8%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 2,983 individuals. This trend is calculated from the estimated population of 2,960, compiled by AreaSearch using the ABS Estimated Resident Population data from June 2025 alongside 16 new addresses validated since the census. This population size results in a density of 4.6 persons per square kilometer, which indicates substantial space per resident.
The main driver of population growth in the locality was natural increase, which accounted for approximately 53.0% of all population increases in recent times. For future planning, AreaSearch relies on SA2 projections released by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. Where this dataset is incomplete, projections for the SA2 level from the NSW State Government's 2022 release, based on 2021 data, are utilized. Growth rates across different age cohorts from these models are also applied from 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic forecasts, the suburb of Gilgandra is expected to experience a reduction in its total population, shrinking by 303 people by 2041. On the other hand, some specific age groups are set to expand, particularly the 75 to 84 cohort, which is projected to grow by 31 residents.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Property developers will find very limited residential construction in the suburb of Gilgandra, with dwelling approvals averaging under one per year, totaling 4 approvals across a five-year timeframe. This low level of building is typical of rural localities with modest housing needs, where development is constrained by local demand and infrastructure limits. Because overall approvals are so low, single development projects can have a disproportionate effect on annual growth rates and comparative statistics. In comparison to the Rest of NSW, development activity in the suburb of Gilgandra is naturally far lower, and it also falls well below national benchmarks.
Furthermore, all recent building permits have been for detached houses, which preserves the rural, spacious character of the area. A ratio of 5,919 people per dwelling approval highlights this quiet, low-activity residential building landscape. Given that population forecasts indicate a steady or shrinking resident count, housing demand pressures in the suburb of Gilgandra are likely to ease, which should benefit home buyers.

Concrete World Warehouse and Cafe
Two-stage industrial development approved for an 11,197sqm site at 14 Fiscal Way in Dubbo's Blueridge Business Park. Originally proposed by Concrete World Industries, stage one comprised a concrete supply warehouse with showroom and office, and stage two comprised 11 light industrial units and a cafe. Dubbo Regional Council approved the $6.8 million development application in June 2023. The site was later marketed for sale by Raine and Horne Commercial as a shovel-ready, DA-approved parcel, with expressions of interest closing in May 2025; the listing is now marked sold.Council infrastructure pipeline records list Drayton Group as the current holder of the approval. Construction has not yet commenced and the new owner's development intentions are unconfirmed.
New Dubbo Bridge (Aunty Pearl Gibbs Bridge)

The project includes 2.2km of new Newell Highway realignment and intersection upgrades at Whylandra, River, Thompson and Bourke Streets. Designed to ease central Dubbo congestion and maintain flood-event access, it supports future development of around 5,500 new homes in the region. In December 2025 the bridge was officially named the Aunty Pearl Gibbs Bridge, honouring the Aboriginal rights activist.As of mid-2026 the structure is complete, with surfacing, lighting, drainage and intersection works underway; opening to traffic is targeted for mid-2026, with full project completion including approach roads expected by late 2026, weather permitting.
Dubbo Firming Power Station
An approved gas-fired firming power station in the heavy industrial zone of north Dubbo, designed to support the Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone. The original 2024 approval permits a 64 MW dual-fuel power plant (open-cycle gas turbine or reciprocating engine), a 20 MW hydrogen electrolysis facility, gas storage pipeline and connection to the existing gas network. Squadron Energy has lodged a modification request to increase generation capacity from 64 MW to 180 MW and introduce reciprocating engine technology.Both generation technologies are capable of running on hydrogen blends of up to 25 percent. The plant will provide back-up electricity during periods of low renewable generation and peak demand, expected to support up to 150 construction jobs and 5 ongoing operational roles. Treated water for hydrogen production will be supplied from a new advanced wastewater treatment facility at Dubbo Sewerage Treatment Plant, jointly funded with Dubbo Regional Council.

The project was delivered alongside the $35 million Western Cancer Centre to enhance regional healthcare for Western NSW.
1,217 residents of Gilgandra are employed, from a labour force of 1,260. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 51.7%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 2,454, about 83% 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
Gilgandra has a diverse job market with representation across both white-collar and blue-collar roles, alongside strong essential services. The local unemployment rate stands at 3.4% according to aggregated statistical data. In March 2026, 1,217 residents were employed, and the unemployment rate was 0.7% lower than the 4.1% recorded in Regional NSW. However, labor force participation is low at 51.7%, compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census data indicates that only 8.1% of working residents worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and agriculture, forestry & fishing.
The agricultural, forestry, and fishing industries are especially prominent, employing workers at 2.2 times the rate seen across Regional NSW. Meanwhile, manufacturing accounts for only 2.1% of jobs, which is lower than the Regional NSW average of 5.8%. Comparing the number of Census workers with the resident workforce suggests that local employment opportunities are somewhat limited. Based on SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from the broader region, the labor force shrank by 2.5% over the 12-month period, while total employment fell by 0.7%, leading to a decrease in the unemployment rate by 1.8 percentage points. This contrasts with Regional NSW, where employment fell by 0.9%, the labor force decreased by 0.4%, and the unemployment rate rose by 0.5 percentage points. Future hiring trends in Gilgandra can be analyzed using the May-25 national employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential changes. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trends vary by sector. Applying these trends to Gilgandra's specific industry mix suggests local employment could rise by 6.1% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, using a basic weighted projection that does not factor in 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 — 16 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,983 at the 2021 Census → 2,960 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 (SAL11623). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
