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

As of Nov 2025, Maudsland's population is estimated at around 8,784 people. This reflects an increase of 711 individuals since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 8,073 people. The change was inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 8,752 following examination of the latest ERP data release by ABS in June 2024 and an additional 63 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population results in a density ratio of 603 persons per square kilometer. Over the past decade, Maudsland has demonstrated resilient growth patterns with a compound annual growth rate of 2.6%, outpacing the 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. It should be noted that these state projections do not provide age category splits; hence proportional growth weightings are applied in line with ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 based on 2022 data for each age cohort. Anticipating future population dynamics, an above median population growth of Australia's regional areas is projected. The suburb is expected to expand by 1,785 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 19.6% in total over the 17 years.

Recent residential development output has been above average within Maudsland when compared nationally

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Maudsland had around 19 new homes approved each year over the past 5 financial years, totalling an estimated 99 homes. As of FY26, 16 approvals have been recorded. This results in approximately 8.3 people moving to the area per dwelling built annually between FY21 and FY25, indicating demand outpaces supply. New homes are constructed at an average value of $552,000.

In FY26, commercial approvals totalled $4.5 million, reflecting Maudsland's primarily residential nature. Current building activity comprises solely detached dwellings, maintaining the area's low-density character and appeal for families seeking space.

The population per dwelling approval is estimated at 383 people. By 2041, AreaSearch forecasts an increase of 1,717 residents. If development rates continue unchanged, housing supply may not meet population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and supporting stronger price growth.
