Sales Detail
Kepnock has an estimated 4,611 residents, up from 4,501 at the 2021 Census — a change of 110 people, or 2.4%. That puts 1,446 residents on each 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Kepnock has an estimated resident count of around 4,611, established through AreaSearch's evaluation of regional ABS population releases alongside post-Census address validations. This represents a gain of 110 people (2.4%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 4,501 people. The figure stems from an estimated 4,581 residents identified in the latest June 2025 ABS ERP data, combined with 24 validated new addresses recorded since Census night. Consequently, the suburb of Kepnock exhibits a population density of 1,445 persons per square kilometer, sitting above the nationwide benchmark across locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Inflow from interstate migration served as the core growth engine, accounting for approximately 81.0% of recent population additions. Demographic modeling for the suburb of Kepnock utilizes 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections with a 2022 base year, transitioning to 2023 Queensland State Government SA2 series (based on 2021 data) for post-2032 horizons or gaps. Because state releases lack specific age brackets, AreaSearch integrates cohort weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region series (2022 base). Looking forward, the suburb of Kepnock is slated to outpace the non-metropolitan median, with aggregated SA2 figures pointing to an expansion of 542 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 11.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
61 new dwellings have been approved in Kepnock over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 2.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 11, broadly in line with 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
Statistical building consent data evaluated by AreaSearch indicates that Kepnock averages approximately 12 residential building approvals annually, totaling an estimated 61 homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 11 approved during FY-25 to date. Because the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) saw an average of only 0.9 new residents per year per dwelling constructed, residential construction is keeping pace with or exceeding local requirements, broadening choice for purchasers and creating capacity for higher-than-anticipated population growth, with new builds averaging an estimated construction cost of $564,000.
Additionally, commercial development approvals reached $1.1 million this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential character of the locality. Dwelling construction in Kepnock is subdued when compared to Rest of Qld, trailing regional figures on a per-capita basis by 72.0%. Such constrained building volumes frequently elevate competition and support valuations among established residences. Output also tracks below the national benchmark, reflecting a mature urban footprint alongside potential planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent approvals have been exclusively standalone houses, reinforcing the low-density suburban landscape and providing family accommodation for purchasers desiring land. A metric of approximately 542 people per dwelling approval confirms the established nature of the market. Projections indicate that Kepnock will add 512 residents leading up to 2041, measured against the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. If residential building activity remains at its current pace, housing completions may fall short of demographic expansion, which could heighten buyer demand and place upward pressure on property values.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Sienna Boulevard
23-hectare residential subdivision by Santalucia Corporation adjacent to Belle Eden Estate on the Bundaberg Ring Road. Retaining a local water body as the centerpiece, the estate will deliver 152 residential lots and 2 reserve lots across 15 stages, accommodating around 380 residents. Early stages have commenced with land sales recorded in 2025 and 2026.
New Bundaberg Hospital
The $1.2 billion New Bundaberg Hospital is a major greenfield development featuring a six-storey clinical building with over 400 beds. The facility includes an expanded emergency department, a rooftop helipad, mental health units, and teaching spaces. It serves as the centerpiece of the Bundaberg Health and Enterprise Precinct, aimed at providing level 5 health services to the growing Wide Bay region while mitigating flood risks associated with the existing hospital site.
Bundaberg East Levee
A $174.7 million flood resilience project featuring a 1.7 km concrete levee along the Burnett River southern bank. The infrastructure includes floodgates, flood doors, and pump stations at Saltwater and Distillery Creeks, designed to protect over 600 properties in Bundaberg East, South, and the CBD from 1% AEP flood events. Recent milestones include the appointment of SMEC and CDM Smith as design consultants and the completion of detailed flood modelling. The project is currently in the detailed design phase following the 2024 Ministerial Infrastructure Designation process.
St Vincent de Paul Social Housing Walkervale Bundaberg
An 81 dwelling social housing development on the corner of Barolin and Maynard Streets in Walkervale, comprising 60 units and 21 single homes delivered under the QuickStarts QLD program. The project is being developed in partnership between St Vincent de Paul Society Queensland Housing and the Queensland Government, with homes to be operated by Vinnies Housing. Construction is progressing following Ministerial Infrastructure Designation approval, delivering long term social and affordable housing with on-site wrap-around support services including furniture and food assistance.
Gympie Estate Affordable Housing Project
PROJECT CANCELLED - SEPTEMBER 2025. A proposed 101-home affordable housing estate on 26 hectares adjacent to Baldwin Swamp Environmental Park. Following comprehensive geotechnical and environmental assessments, Regional Housing Limited and Bundaberg Regional Council determined the project was not feasible due to infrastructure costs exceeding development thresholds. The land is now planned to be incorporated into Baldwin Swamp Environmental Park as environmental reserve. The site, bounded by Telegraph Road, Ring Road, FE Walker Street and Mellifont Street, was intended to deliver affordable rental housing while preserving green spaces, but investigations confirmed civil infrastructure costs would be too high and lot numbers overly restricted to achieve affordable housing outcomes.
Kalkie Heights Residential Estate
Kalkie Heights is a master planned house and land estate in Kalkie, near Bundaberg, delivering about 194 residential lots over multiple stages. Stages 1 and 2 are sold out, civil works and infrastructure for the first stage are complete, titles have begun to issue, and homes and house and land packages are under construction, with further stages planned. The estate sits on elevated land above the floodplain and is positioned between Bundaberg CBD and Bargara beaches.
Ashfield Growth Precinct
Council-led growth precinct in Ashfield, Bundaberg, enabling the delivery of approximately 4,942 residential lots. In July 2025, the Queensland Government provided $520,000 (towards a total detailed design cost of $651,000) to fast-track the trunk sewerage infrastructure. Design is expected to be completed within one year, allowing construction to commence in the 2026-27 financial year and unlocking significant new housing supply in this key growth area.
Kepnock Town Centre
Completed neighbourhood shopping centre in Kepnock, Bundaberg, spanning 5,715 sqm and anchored by a large format Woolworths along with BWS, LiveLife Pharmacy, The Reject Shop, specialty stores, food outlets, and 268-281 car parks. The centre officially opened in late 2023.
2,192 residents of Kepnock are employed, from a labour force of 2,296. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 61.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,557, about 77% 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 local labour market in Kepnock exhibits a blend of white-collar and blue-collar occupations, anchored by solid representation across core community services, an unemployment rate of 4.5%, and an estimated 7.1% employment gain over the previous year according to AreaSearch aggregated data. As of March 2026, 2,192 residents are employed, with the jobless rate tracking 0.6% above the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld, and labour force participation trailing regional levels at 61.0% compared to 64.2%. In addition, Census records show only 4.6% of workers operating from home, though pandemic-related lockdown measures at the time may have influenced this outcome.
Local workers are primarily engaged in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training. The workforce is heavily concentrated in health care & social assistance, employing residents at 1.3 times the wider regional benchmark. Conversely, mining accounts for a modest 1.2% of workers, well below the 3.6% observed across the region. Given the contrast between resident workers and the local Census daytime job count, this residential suburb offers relatively few jobs within its own borders. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM figures shows that over the twelve months to March 2026, total employment rose by 7.1% while the labour pool expanded by 4.6%, reducing the local unemployment rate by 2.3 percentage points. Over the identical timeframe, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1%, the workforce expand by 0.3%, and unemployment edge upward by 0.1 percentage points. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26 provide context for local employment trends over five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, job numbers are projected to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. Applying these industry growth rates to Kepnock's specific employment distribution indicates prospective local job expansion of 6.3% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (offered as an illustrative weighted extrapolation that excludes local demographic 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 — 24 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,501 at the 2021 Census → 4,611 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 Aug 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.
