Sales Detail
Landsborough (Qld) has an estimated 7,327 residents, up from 4,446 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,881 people, or 64.8%. Growth has averaged 10.7% a year over five years, faster than 98% of areas nationally. 155 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 82.0% of that increase. That puts 123 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
Following an examination of ABS population statistics for the surrounding region and address validations carried out by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Landsborough (Qld) is calculated to have approximately 7,327 residents as of May 2026. Compared to the 4,446 individuals documented in the 2021 Census, this represents an expansion of 2,881 people, or 64.8%. This adjustment is calculated using a resident population base of 7,088 estimated by AreaSearch after analyzing the June 2025 ABS ERP publication, combined with 155 validated new addresses identified after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 122 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and room for potential future residential projects.
This growth rate of 64.8% since the 2021 census paced ahead of the Rest of Qld at 9.2% and also outstripped the national benchmark, placing the locality among the fastest-expanding areas in the state. The primary driver of this demographic expansion was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 82.0% of the overall population increases, though natural growth and overseas migration also contributed positively. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia demographic projections for each SA2 district, utilizing 2022 as the baseline year from their 2024 publication. For SA2 regions lacking coverage or for periods extending past 2032, projections published by the Queensland State Government in 2023 based on 2021 data are substituted. Since Queensland government estimates omit age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates growth weightings proportionally using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which are based on 2022 data. Future projections suggest the suburb of Landsborough (Qld) will experience rapid demographic expansion, ranking in the top 10 percent of all regional locations nationwide. The suburb of Landsborough (Qld) is projected to add 8,232 residents by 2041 according to combined SA2 projections, representing an increase of 109.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
421 new dwellings have been approved in Landsborough (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 84 a year. That places the area in the 92nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 11 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 81 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 94% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 116, 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
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals adjusted from regional statistics, Landsborough has averaged approximately 84 residential building approvals annually, which amounts to roughly 421 dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years. During the current FY-26 period, 107 approvals have been logged. With an average of 6.7 new residents added for each completed dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, demand remains ahead of building rates, which tends to elevate pricing and heighten buyer competition, while newly approved houses carry an average construction value of $428,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $35.0 million during the current financial year, indicating a high level of business investment locally.
In comparison to the Rest of Qld, development activity in Landsborough is slightly higher, running 22.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period, which maintains supply options for purchasers while supporting current property values, even though construction momentum has slowed of late. This rate remains significantly higher than the national standard, reflecting solid builder interest. Residential additions over recent times have consisted of 94.0% detached houses and 6.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the historically low-density layout centered on spacious family properties. With a ratio of approximately 204 people per approved dwelling, Landsborough displays the characteristics of an expanding outer area. Long-term projections indicate Landsborough is set to add 7,993 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If building activity remains at its current pace, residential supply may not keep up with population growth, potentially creating tougher competition among buyers and supporting future price appreciation.

Beerwah East SEQ Development Area
Beerwah East is a 5,200-hectare SEQ Development Area (Category 2) under ShapingSEQ 2023 and the long-term preferred growth front for the Sunshine Coast. Subject to detailed planning, the area has the potential to accommodate up to around 35,000 dwellings and approximately 95,000 residents over the long term, with earlier estimates of 20,000 homes by 2041. The site sits between the Bruce Highway, Steve Irwin Way and Roys Road, with the planned Direct Sunshine Coast Rail Line (The Wave) running through it from Beerwah toward Caloundra and Birtinya.Most of the land is owned by the State and held under a 99-year HQPlantations forestry lease, with parts also subject to native title held by the Kabi Kabi First Nation. In March 2025 the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning conditionally endorsed the proposed Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme but directed Council to revert most of Beerwah East from Emerging Community zoning back to Rural, allowing only land not subject to native title to be zoned Emerging Community. Sunshine Coast Council subsequently identified two early-release parcels totalling about 45 hectares near the Beerwah Golf Course off Roys Road, bordered by Foley Road, as the first land to potentially come forward for residential development. The proposed planning scheme remains in the review process and is expected to progress through 2026, while the Queensland Government continues investigations alongside Council, HQPlantations and the Kabi Kabi First Nation to unlock the broader area.

3,898 residents of Landsborough (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 3,977. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 69.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 6,077, about 83% 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
Landsborough features a diverse labor market comprising both professional and trade-based occupations, with construction workers particularly well represented. The unemployment rate sits at a low 2.0%, and local employment grew by an estimated 2.1% over the preceding year, according to AreaSearch regional data consolidations. As of March 2026, there are 3,898 working residents, and the local unemployment rate is 2.0% lower than the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld. Labor force participation is relatively healthy, sitting at 69.2% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census data indicates that a low 13.1% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic containment measures.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The workforce shows a distinct concentration in construction, with its employment share measuring 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 2.4% of the local workforce, which is below the Regional Qld level of 4.5%. Comparing the number of working residents to local job positions from Census data indicates that local employment opportunities are relatively constrained. Analysis of SALM and ABS data for the broader statistical area reveals that during the year leading to March 2026, the count of employed individuals rose by 2.1% and the total labor force grew by 2.3%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% expansion of the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on expected demand changes in Landsborough. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment paths. While overall national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary by industry. Projecting these trends onto the specific industry mix of Landsborough indicates that local employment is poised to grow by 6.4% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, based on a basic weighting model that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 155 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,446 at the 2021 Census → 7,327 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 May 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.
