Heritage Park

Heritage Park is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

As of November 2025, the estimated population of Heritage Park is around 5,609 people. This figure reflects a growth of 679 individuals since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,930. AreaSearch validated this estimate using ABS ERP data released in June 2024 and additional new addresses. The population density is approximately 1,147 persons per square kilometer. Heritage Park's growth rate of 13.8% since the Census exceeded the national average of 8.9%. Natural growth contributed about 52.0% to this increase.

AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections from 2023 based on 2021 data are adopted. Age category splits are applied proportionally according to ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023. Future population trends indicate a median increase for statistical areas nationwide. Heritage Park is expected to expand by 286 persons to reach a total of 5,975 by 2041, reflecting an overall decrease of 1.3% over the 17-year period.

AreaSearch analysis of residential development drivers sees Heritage Park recording a relatively average level of approval activity when compared to local markets analysed countrywide

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, shows Heritage Park has received approximately 10 dwelling approvals per year over the past five financial years. This totals an estimated 52 homes from FY-21 to FY-25. As of FY-26, 2 approvals have been recorded. On average, 3.5 new residents arrive per dwelling constructed annually between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating demand significantly exceeds supply, which typically leads to price growth and increased buyer competition.

The average construction value of new homes is $341,000, below regional levels, suggesting more affordable housing options for buyers. In FY-26, commercial approvals totalled $683,000, indicating minimal commercial development activity compared to Greater Brisbane, where Heritage Park has 88.0% less development activity per person. This limited supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established homes, though recent construction activity has increased. Nationally, the area's development activity is also below average, reflecting its maturity and possible planning constraints. New developments consist of 85.0% standalone homes and 15.0% attached dwellings, sustaining Heritage Park's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space. This marks a change from the current housing mix, which is currently 100.0% houses, likely due to reduced availability of development sites and shifting lifestyle demands and affordability requirements.

With approximately 346 people per dwelling approval, Heritage Park exhibits a developed market. Given the expected stable or declining population, housing pressure should ease, potentially creating opportunities for buyers.
