Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Kings Beach

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

114 new dwellings have been approved in Kings Beach over the past five years, an average of 22 a year. That is 5.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 57, running ahead of 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

Council building approvals tracked by AreaSearch show that Kings Beach has maintained a steady pace of around 22 dwellings authorized per year, culminating in 114 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 57 approvals have been issued. Despite local population contractions, this level of construction has supported supply for prospective purchasers, while an average residential value of $787,000 indicates that builders are focusing on the higher-tier property sector. Non-residential activity remains modest, with $4.4 million in commercial development approvals recorded this financial year, underscoring the predominantly living-oriented nature of the area.

Per-capita residential building authorization in Kings Beach sits 60.0% below the broader Rest of Qld standard, even as construction momentum has picked up in recent times. Constrained new housing pipelines often help maintain price levels and buyer interest for established stock. Of the recent building consents, detached houses account for 6.0%, while townhouses or apartments make up 94.0%. This pronounced shift toward medium and high-density formats provides entry points for downsizers, new buyers, and property investors. Concurrently, a metric of around 105 people per dwelling approval reflects a relatively low-density development pattern. Based on the most recent quarterly figures from AreaSearch, demographic projections forecast that Kings Beach will welcome 943 residents by 2041. If prevailing construction volumes persist, residential deliveries could fall short of incoming demand, potentially intensifying market competition and placing upward pressure on local property values.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years.

The working-day population is estimated at 2,622, about 85% 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

In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,461, with unemployment tracking 2.4% higher than the 3.9% recorded for Regional Qld. Labor market participation is comparatively subdued, standing at 55.6% versus 64.2% across Regional Qld.

Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.2% of the local workforce, compared to 4.5% across Regional Qld. Comparing Census workplace tallies against resident counts highlights that internal employment opportunities within the immediate residential precinct remain relatively limited. Over the year leading to March 2026, AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM data shows that Kings Beach recorded a 2.9% drop in its labor force and a 3.8% contraction in overall employment, causing the unemployment rate to climb by 0.9 percentage points. Across Regional Qld over the same interval, employment edged up 0.1%, the workforce rose 0.3%, and unemployment lifted by 0.1 percentage points. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia releases from Mar-26 project nationwide job numbers to rise 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years. Applying these industry benchmarks to the local economic profile suggests Kings Beach employment could expand by 7.0% over five years and 14.3% over ten years, though this weighted extrapolation is for context and excludes local population shifts.

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 — 108 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,042 at the 2021 Census → 3,074 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL31543). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Kings Beach suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Kings Beach page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Kings Beach data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Oct 2025) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
