Maudsland

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

The population of the Maudsland statistical area (Lv2) is estimated at around 8,622 as of Nov 2025. This reflects an increase of 549 people from the 2021 Census figure of 8,073. The change was inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of the resident population at 8,599 in June 2024, based on examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS, and an additional 63 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 592 persons per square kilometer. Over the past decade, Maudsland has shown resilient growth patterns with a compound annual growth rate of 2.6%, outpacing its SA4 region. Natural growth contributed approximately 43.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including overseas migration and interstate migration were 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 adopted. These state projections do not provide age category splits; hence proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 based on 2022 data are applied for each age cohort. Future population dynamics anticipate above median growth for Australia's regional areas, with the Maudsland (SA2) expected to expand by 1,753 persons to 2041, reflecting a gain of 21.4% in total over the 17 years.

AreaSearch analysis of residential development drivers sees Maudsland recording a relatively average level of approval activity when compared to local markets analysed countrywide

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers indicates Maudsland has seen approximately 16 new homes approved each year over the past five financial years. This totals an estimated 80 homes from FY-21 to FY-25. As of FY-26, 12 approvals have been recorded. The average population increase per dwelling built in the area between FY-21 and FY-25 is around 10.2 people per year.

This suggests demand outpaces supply, potentially putting upward pressure on prices and increasing competition among buyers. New homes are being constructed at an average expected cost of $525,000, indicating developers target the premium market segment with higher-end properties.

In FY-26, commercial approvals valued at $3.4 million have been registered. All new constructions in Maudsland consist of detached dwellings, preserving its low-density nature and attracting space-seeking buyers. The estimated population per dwelling approval is 493 people. AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate projects Maudsland to grow by 1,847 residents by 2041. If current development rates continue, housing supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially increasing competition among buyers and supporting stronger price growth.
