Glass House Mountains has an estimated 6,181 residents, up from 5,601 at the 2021 Census — a change of 580 people, or 10.4%. Growth has averaged 2.1% a year over five years. 171 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 52.0% of that increase.

Detail
Analysis of ABS demographic updates and quarterly validation of address data by AreaSearch suggests that the suburb of Glass House Mountains has a population of approximately 6,181 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 580 residents (10.4%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 5,601 people. This estimation is based on a resident population of 6,163 calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP release, supplemented by 171 validated new addresses registered since the Census. The density of the suburb of Glass House Mountains stands at 85 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and capacity for future expansion.
The 10.4% rate of expansion since the 2021 census paced ahead of the Rest of Qld (9.2%) and the national benchmark, establishing the suburb of Glass House Mountains as a local growth leader. The primary driver of this growth was interstate migration, accounting for roughly 52.0% of the demographic gains, though natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Projections utilize ABS and Geoscience Australia SA2 figures published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. In locations without coverage or for periods beyond 2032, Queensland Government SA2 projections from 2023 utilizing 2021 baseline data are applied. Because state projections lack age-specific details, AreaSearch allocates growth weightings using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data) for individual age brackets. Current demographic trends suggest the suburb of Glass House Mountains will experience population expansion exceeding the regional Australian median, with SA2 forecasts pointing to an increase of 828 individuals by 2041, representing a total expansion of 13.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
212 new dwellings have been approved in Glass House Mountains over the past five years, an average of 42 a year. That places the area in the 76th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 30 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, 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
Statistical evaluations of building approvals indicate that Glass House Mountains recorded an annual average of about 42 new residential approvals. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), 212 dwellings were approved, with an additional 9 approvals registered during FY-26. Each built dwelling coincided with an average increase of 2.9 new residents over the 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), indicating consistent demand that helps sustain property values. The average anticipated construction cost for new dwellings is $350,000, which corresponds with wider regional figures. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $1.9 million have been recorded during the current financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the locality.
Glass House Mountains displays construction volumes per resident that are roughly half of the rate seen in the Rest of Qld, though it ranks in the 73rd percentile of all areas evaluated across the nation. Houses account for 93.0% of recent construction, while townhouses and apartments make up 7.0%, preserving the traditional low-density landscape and providing spacious options for family households. A ratio of approximately 173 individuals for every approval indicates a developing area. Demographic projections indicate that Glass House Mountains will add 810 residents by 2041 relative to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. The current pace of residential construction appears sufficient to meet this demand, which could support favorable conditions for buyers and potentially facilitate growth beyond current projections.

Beerwah East SEQ Development Area
Beerwah East is a 5,200-hectare SEQ Development Area (Category 2) under ShapingSEQ 2023 and the long-term preferred growth front for the Sunshine Coast. Subject to detailed planning, the area has the potential to accommodate up to around 35,000 dwellings and approximately 95,000 residents over the long term, with earlier estimates of 20,000 homes by 2041. The site sits between the Bruce Highway, Steve Irwin Way and Roys Road, with the planned Direct Sunshine Coast Rail Line (The Wave) running through it from Beerwah toward Caloundra and Birtinya.Most of the land is owned by the State and held under a 99-year HQPlantations forestry lease, with parts also subject to native title held by the Kabi Kabi First Nation. In March 2025 the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning conditionally endorsed the proposed Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme but directed Council to revert most of Beerwah East from Emerging Community zoning back to Rural, allowing only land not subject to native title to be zoned Emerging Community. Sunshine Coast Council subsequently identified two early-release parcels totalling about 45 hectares near the Beerwah Golf Course off Roys Road, bordered by Foley Road, as the first land to potentially come forward for residential development. The proposed planning scheme remains in the review process and is expected to progress through 2026, while the Queensland Government continues investigations alongside Council, HQPlantations and the Kabi Kabi First Nation to unlock the broader area.
3,036 residents of Glass House Mountains are employed, from a labour force of 3,147. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 63.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,905, about 79% 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
The local workforce exhibits a balanced mix of professional and manual roles, with construction showing particularly high representation, and the unemployment rate stands at 3.5% based on aggregated local data. Employment was held by 3,036 residents as of March 2026, with the jobless rate tracking 0.4% lower than the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld, while labor participation is close to the Regional Qld benchmark of 64.3%. Census data indicates that 15.1% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions. The primary employment fields for local workers are construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
Construction is highly concentrated, employing residents at 1.5 times the average rate for the region. Conversely, retail trade shows lower representation, employing 8.0% of the local workforce compared to 10.0% across Regional Qld. Comparison of the Census working population against the local resident population suggests a restricted number of local job opportunities. Analysis of SALM and ABS records indicates that during the year ending March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 2.6% and the number of employed residents fell by 3.1%, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. Over the same period in Regional Qld, employment rose by 0.1%, the workforce grew by 0.3%, and unemployment increased by 0.1 percentage points. National employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer context for future demand trends in Glass House Mountains. These projections, spanning five and ten years, are mapped against local employment structures to project potential patterns. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by sector. Applying these national projections to the local industry mix yields estimated local growth rates of 6.3% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for specific 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 — 171 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,601 at the 2021 Census → 6,181 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 (SAL31137). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
