Sales Detail
Hazelwood North has an estimated 1,526 residents, down from 1,552 at the 2021 Census — a change of 26 people, or 1.7%. Density is about 23 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
According to assessments of ABS population statistics for the surrounding region alongside new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Hazelwood North had around 1,526 residents in May 2026. This represents a reduction of 26 people (1.7%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 1,552 individuals. The figure is calculated from a resident base of 1,525, determined by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, with 6 validated new addresses added since the Census. This population level means a density of 22 persons per square kilometer, ensuring residents enjoy considerable space.
Demographic growth was driven mostly by natural increase, which accounted for approximately 46.0% of the population expansion recently, though interstate, overseas, and all other migration streams also registered gains. AreaSearch incorporates SA2 projections published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 using a 2022 baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections from the VIC State Government's 2023 release are utilized, adjusting them through weighted aggregation of growth rates from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates categorized by age group from these models are also applied across all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future projections indicate that regional areas across the nation will experience growth above the median, with the suburb of Hazelwood North projected to add 225 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 data, representing a 14.7% rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
21 new dwellings have been approved in Hazelwood North over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 2.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
AreaSearch evaluations of statistical area building approvals indicate that the suburb of Hazelwood North averages about 4 approved homes annually. In the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, approximately 21 residential approvals were granted, with none recorded during FY-26. Because the population decreased recently, the housing stock has kept up with demand, maintaining a balanced property market with healthy buyer options. Furthermore, commercial building approvals worth $2.5 million were logged this financial year, showing a modest focus on business developments. In comparison to the Rest of Vic., the suburb of Hazelwood North displays approximately half the volume of new home approvals per capita, placing it in the 4th percentile of all analyzed locations across the country, which restricts choice for buyers and supports demand for existing properties.
This rate is similarly below the national average, indicating a mature market and potential development limits. Furthermore, all recent construction projects have consisted exclusively of standalone houses, preserving the traditional low-density profile of the area and providing spacious options suited to family living. Looking forward, the suburb of Hazelwood North is projected to add 224 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Although construction activity is keeping up reasonably well with this forecasted growth, home buyers may encounter heightened competition as the local population increases.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Hazelwood North Solar Farm
Approved 450 MW solar energy facility with an approximately 450 MW / 1,800 MWh four-hour battery energy storage system, substation and associated infrastructure on farmland between Morwell and Traralgon in the Latrobe Valley. The project is planned as Victoria's largest solar farm, with agrivoltaic use including sheep grazing, capacity to power about 150,000 homes, avoid about 700,000 tonnes of emissions each year and support about 500 construction jobs.
Used Lead Acid Battery (ULAB) Recycling Facility Hazelwood North
A proposed used lead acid battery recycling facility designed to process up to 50000 tonnes of batteries annually and produce around 28000 tonnes of refined lead using advanced secondary lead smelting technology with recovery of lead, plastic and electrolyte. The project received Victorian planning approval in January 2021 and construction environmental management approvals in December 2021. Ownership transferred from Chunxing Corporation Pty Ltd to Pure Environmental Pty Ltd. As of 2026 there is no verified evidence that full construction or operations have commenced, despite approvals remaining in place.
Wooreen Energy Storage System
EnergyAustralia is constructing a 350 MW utility-scale battery energy storage system with four hours of storage capacity (1,400 MWh) at the Jeeralang Power Station. The facility is designed to enhance grid stability and support the integration of renewable energy into the Victorian network following the transition from coal-fired generation.
Hazelwood North ULAB Recycling Facility
A state-of-the-art Used Lead Acid Battery (ULAB) recycling plant designed to process 50,000 tonnes of batteries annually. The facility employs advanced secondary lead smelting technology to recover approximately 28,000 tonnes of refined lead per year, promoting a circular economy and reducing hazardous waste. The project was fast-tracked via a Victorian Government Planning Scheme Amendment (C129) following initial local council refusal.
Bennetts Creek Battery
100MW/223MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to provide renewable energy firming for Victoria's electricity grid. Located adjacent to Morwell Terminal Station with a new 66kV transmission line connection. Financial close was achieved in December 2025, with construction by Zenviron commencing in 2026 and commercial operations expected in 2028. Wartsila will supply battery technology and control systems. The project will absorb excess renewable energy during high generation periods and discharge during peak demand, providing Frequency Control and Ancillary Services (FCAS) to stabilise the grid and reduce electricity prices.
Marinus Link - Victorian Converter Station
The Victorian Converter Station at Hazelwood is a critical component of the 1500 MW Marinus Link HVDC interconnector. It converts direct current from subsea and underground cables to alternating current for the National Electricity Market. Stage 1 (750 MW) construction is scheduled to commence in 2026, following the Victorian Minister for Planning's positive environmental assessment in May 2025 and the Australian Energy Regulator's final cost decision in February 2026.
Tramway Road Battery Energy Storage System
A 300 MW / 1,200 MWh grid-scale battery energy storage system being developed by Eku Energy adjacent to the Hazelwood Terminal Station in the Latrobe Valley. The 4-hour duration battery will connect into the existing 500kV / 220kV transmission network and is being built next to Eku's already-operational 150 MW / 150 MWh Hazelwood BESS at the former coal-fired power station site. Once operational the project will be capable of powering around 104,000 homes during peak demand and is expected to play a key role in Victoria's transition away from coal generation.The Victorian Government granted development approval in November 2025 via the Development Facilitation Program. The project is now in pre-construction, with construction targeted to begin in late 2026 subject to grid connection and procurement, and operations slated for 2028. It will support 150 construction jobs and around five ongoing operational roles. The site sits adjacent to the proposed Marinus Link converter station.
Latrobe Regional Hospital Expansion Stage 3A
The $223.5 million Stage 3A expansion of Latrobe Regional Hospital has delivered a significant boost to Gippsland's healthcare capacity. Completed in early 2024, the project added 44 inpatient beds, 14 medical/surgical beds, six ICU beds, three operating theatres, and an expanded maternity unit with two new birthing suites. It also features a specialized $6.5 million mental health, alcohol, and other drugs (AOD) hub within the emergency department to fast-track patients to dedicated specialist care.
799 residents of Hazelwood North are employed, from a labour force of 814. Unemployment sits at 1.8%, with participation at 66.3%. 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 1,277, about 84% 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 suburb of Hazelwood North possesses a skilled workforce, with the construction sector showing notable local prominence, a jobless rate of only 1.8%, and an estimated employment expansion of 2.3% over the prior year according to aggregated statistical data. As of March 2026, there are 799 employed residents, and the jobless rate of 1.8% sits below the Regional Vic. average of 3.7%, while labor participation is significantly higher than usual (66.3% compared to 61.1% in Regional Vic.). Census data reveals that a moderate 16.0% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may be influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for residents are healthcare & social assistance, construction, and public administration & safety. The area displays a strong specialization in the electricity, gas, water & waste sector, where its employment share is 5.9 times the regional average. Conversely, the agriculture, forestry & fishing industry is underrepresented at 4.2% compared to the regional benchmark of 7.5%. The discrepancy between Census working population and resident population suggests that local job opportunities within the area are limited. Analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, indicates that over the 12-month period, employment rose by 2.3% while the labour force grew by 2.0%, leading to a 0.3 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate. Conversely, the Regional Vic. area recorded a 0.1% decline in employment and a 0.3% reduction in the labour force, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point drop. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 provide additional perspective on potential future demand within Hazelwood North. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been overlaid onto the local employment profile to estimate growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth varies considerably across industry sectors. When these sector-specific projections are applied to Hazelwood North's employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 6.1% over five years and 12.9% over ten years. Please note that this represents a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not account for localised population projections.

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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,552 at the 2021 Census → 1,526 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 (SAL21156). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
