DemographicsPopulation Growth in Gooburrum

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Interstate and internal migration accounts for 64.0% of that increase. Density is about 61 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

On the basis of ABS demographic adjustments for the wider region and supplementary addresses verified by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Gooburrum has an estimated 1,704 residents as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 186 individuals (12.3%) relative to the 2021 Census, which registered 1,518 people. This shift is deduced from a resident count of 1,699 calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP publication, alongside 53 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 61 persons per square kilometer, which ensures a spacious living environment.

The 12.3% rate of expansion for the suburb of Gooburrum since the 2021 Census outpaced both the SA3 area (9.1%) and the Rest of Qld, positioning it as a regional growth frontrunner. Net gains in the local population were mostly fueled by interstate arrivals, who represented roughly 64.0% of the overall population increase in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, and for the period following 2032, Queensland Government SA2 projections from 2023 (utilising 2021 baseline data) are substituted. Because these state-level figures do not specify age cohorts, AreaSearch distributes growth using proportions from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (with a 2022 base year) across age brackets. Looking at future demographic trends, regional areas in the bottom growth quartile are projected to experience minor changes, with local numbers expected to rise by 24 individuals by 2041 under consolidated SA2 projections, representing an overall increase of 1.1% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Gooburrum

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

67 new dwellings have been approved in Gooburrum over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That places the area in the 51st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, 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

Based on AreaSearch calculations of ABS building consent statistics distributed from broader geographical divisions, Gooburrum recorded an annual average of approximately 13 residential approvals, accumulating to an estimated 67 dwellings over the prior 5 fiscal years. In the current FY-26 period, 5 consents have been logged. Over the preceding 5 fiscal years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the ratio of incoming residents per newly built dwelling was 2.8, pointing to steady demand that should bolster local real estate values. The average anticipated construction cost for these new residences stands at $579,000, showing that developers are targeting the high-end market with premium housing.

Additionally, commercial building approvals reached $1.9 million for the current fiscal year, pointing to a low level of commercial building activity. Compared against the Rest of Qld, Gooburrum registers a moderately higher rate of building approvals (running 36.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year timeframe), which ensures a healthy supply for buyers while helping protect existing real estate values, despite a deceleration in construction activity of late. Recent additions to the housing stock have consisted entirely of standalone residences, preserving a low-density profile dominated by single-family homes that attract buyers prioritizing space. The ratio of residents to each building approval is roughly 281 people, indicating capacity for further expansion. Projections indicate that Gooburrum will add 19 residents by 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly calculation from AreaSearch. If the current pace of construction persists, the supply of new dwellings should easily satisfy incoming demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially helping local numbers exceed the current growth estimates.

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 — 53 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,518 at the 2021 Census → 1,704 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 (SAL31183). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Gooburrum suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Gooburrum page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Gooburrum data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
