Holmview

Holmview lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

Holmview's population, as of November 2025, is estimated at around 5,571 people. This reflects an increase of 1,116 individuals since the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 4,455. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of 5,522 residents following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024, along with an additional 218 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 1,385 persons per square kilometer, above the national average assessed by AreaSearch. Holmview's growth rate of 25.1% since the 2021 census exceeds both the national average (9.7%) and state averages, positioning it as a growth leader in the region. Interstate migration contributed approximately 54.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, with natural growth and overseas migration also being positive factors.

AreaSearch adopts 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 released in 2023 based on 2021 data are used. However, these state projections do not provide age category splits, so AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections for each age cohort. Future population dynamics anticipate an above median growth trend for statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch. The Holmview statistical area (Lv2) is expected to expand by 1,119 persons to reach a total of 6,680 people by 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 13.8% over the 17-year period.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Holmview among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

Holmview has seen approximately 87 new homes approved annually based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers. Between FY-21 and FY-25, around 437 homes were approved, with an additional 19 approved in FY-26. On average, 2.4 people move to the area per new home constructed over these five years, suggesting strong demand that supports property values.

The average construction cost of new homes is $392,000, higher than regional levels, indicating quality construction emphasis. This financial year has seen $6.7 million in commercial development approvals, reflecting Holmview's primarily residential nature. Compared to Greater Brisbane, Holmview has 90.0% more construction activity per person. Building activity has slowed recently, but it remains above national averages, suggesting strong developer confidence. New developments consist of 79.0% standalone homes and 21.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving the area's suburban nature and attracting space-seeking buyers.

There are approximately 129 people per dwelling approval in Holmview, indicating an expanding market. AreaSearch forecasts suggest Holmview will gain 766 residents by 2041. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.

In contrast, Greater Brisbane recorded employment growth of 3.8%, labour force growth of 3.3%, with unemployment falling 0.5 percentage points. State-level data from QLD to 25-Nov-25 showed employment contracted by 0.01% (losing 1,210 jobs), with the state unemployment rate at 4.2%. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia projected national employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years.
