The resident population was estimated at 8,671 by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024, with an additional 29 validated new addresses since the Census date contributing to the increase.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022.

For areas not covered and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections from 2023 are used, based on 2021 data. However, these state projections lack age category splits; hence AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023, based on 2022 data. Demographic trends suggest lower quartile growth for Australian statistical areas moving forward. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, Holland Park is expected to grow by 337 persons to reach a total population of approximately 9,332 by the year 2041, reflecting an increase of 4.0% over the 17-year period.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Holland Park according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Holland Park had around 27 residential properties approved annually. From FY-21 to FY-25, approximately 139 homes were approved, with a further 20 in FY-26 so far. Over the past five financial years, an average of 1.5 new residents per year per dwelling was recorded.

This suggests balanced supply and demand, stable market conditions, and premium developments with an average construction cost value of $958,000. Commercial approvals this financial year totaled $5.7 million, indicating limited commercial development focus.

New building activity comprised 89.0% detached houses and 11.0% townhouses or apartments, maintaining the area's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes. The location has approximately 374 people per dwelling approval, reflecting an established area.

Current development patterns indicate new housing supply should meet demand, offering good conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating population growth beyond current projections.
