Sales Detail
Lake Wendouree has an estimated 2,714 residents, down from 2,878 at the 2021 Census — a change of 164 people, or 5.7%. The population has thinned by an average 1.2% a year over five years, slower than 99% of areas nationally. That puts 594 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 Lake Wendouree records an estimated population of approximately 2,714, drawing on AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS updates alongside post-Census address validations. This represents a contraction of 164 people (5.7%) relative to the 2,878 people tallied at the 2021 Census. Such movement stems from an Estimated Resident Population figure of 2,713 established after the ABS release in June 2025, combined with 7 validated new addresses added following the Census. The resulting population density stands at 593 persons per square kilometer, preserving ample open space and room for prospective development.
Net inward movement has been almost exclusively driven by overseas migration, which served as the primary catalyst for population increases across recent timeframes. Projections for the suburb of Lake Wendouree apply ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 (taking 2022 as the base year) across individual SA2 zones. Where local data is missing, VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections issued in 2023 are used via weighted aggregation transitioning LGA figures down to SA2 boundaries, with age-group expansion rates from these models factored in for 2032 to 2041. In line with broader trends, future expansion is expected to track above the median for non-metropolitan Australia, adding 362 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 modeling—a total gain of 13.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Residential building approvals in Lake Wendouree indicate muted construction volume, averaging 1 new dwellings yearly and accumulating 8 approvals over the recent five-year span. Such constrained development aligns with regional settings where building volumes stay tempered by local demand and infrastructure limits. Given the small number of consents, annual figures and comparative trends can shift noticeably on account of single projects. Construction levels across Lake Wendouree fall well short of Rest of Vic. benchmarks as well as broader nationwide averages. Recent approval activity is split between 50.0% detached dwellings and 50.0% townhouses or apartments.
This pivot toward medium and higher-density formats delivers relatively attainable price points for downsizers, first-home buyers, and property investors, while diverging from the established local stock (presently 79.0% houses) in response to tighter land availability, changing lifestyles, and affordability considerations. Longer-term forecasts point to Lake Wendouree gaining 361 residents by 2041 relative to recent quarterly estimates. Should the prevailing pace of residential approvals persist, new housing supply could lag demographic growth, heightening buyer demand and reinforcing upward pressure on property prices.

Ballarat Base Hospital Redevelopment
The $655 million Ballarat Base Hospital Redevelopment is in its third and final stage, building a new seven-level hospital tower delivered by Built in partnership with the Victorian Health Building Authority and Grampians Health. The tower will include a new main entrance off Sturt Street, a new emergency department with an integrated mental health, alcohol and other drugs hub, a women and children's hub, a state-of-the-art operating theatre suite, an expanded critical care floor, a new helipad, and around 100 extra inpatient and short stay beds.As of late 2025, structural works on the new tower are well advanced, with vertical concrete pours progressing and four tower cranes operating on site. Earlier stages have already delivered a six-storey central energy plant and support services building on Drummond Street, and an expanded multi-deck carpark adding 400 spaces. Once complete, the upgraded hospital will treat at least 18,000 more emergency patients and 14,500 additional inpatients per year, supporting around 4,000 extra surgeries annually. The project is on track for completion in 2027.

1,347 residents of Lake Wendouree are employed, from a labour force of 1,370. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 58.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,984, about 110% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 Lake Wendouree is characterized by an educated workforce and strong representation across essential services, alongside an unemployment rate of only 1.7% according to aggregated statistical indicators. As of March 2026, employed locals number 1,347, keeping unemployment 2.0% below the 3.7% recorded across Regional Vic., whereas labour force participation sits lower at 58.1% compared to 61.1% regionally. Census returns also indicated that 22.4% of workers operated from home, though pandemic lockdowns during that period should be noted. Locally resident workers are predominantly engaged in health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction.
Health care & social assistance exhibits a pronounced footprint, recording job concentrations 1.4 times the regional baseline. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 2.4% of local employment, well below the 7.5% share seen across Regional Vic.. A Census-recorded ratio of 0.7 workers per resident demonstrates a comparatively strong supply of surrounding employment opportunities. Aggregated ABS and SALM figures show that in the 12 months leading to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 0.5% while total jobs fell by 0.8%, lifting the local unemployment rate by 0.2 percentage points; over the same interval, Regional Vic. saw declines of 0.1% in employment and 0.3% in labour force, alongside a 0.2 percentage point drop. Looking ahead, national forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 project overall job gains of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against Lake Wendouree's specific industry distribution implies local employment expansion of 7.3% over five years and 15.0% over ten years, representing a baseline extrapolation rather than a local demographic forecast.

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 — 7 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,878 at the 2021 Census → 2,714 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 (SAL21447). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
