Suburb (SAL) Boundary Analysis

This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.

SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.

Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Overseas migration accounts for 87.0% of that increase. That puts 3,133 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 Mentone is home to approximately 14,130 residents, according to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population revisions alongside post-Census validated addresses. This represents an addition of 933 people, or a 7.1% gain, compared to the 13,197 residents documented in the 2021 Census. This upward adjustment is derived from an Estimated Resident Population of 14,088 calculated by AreaSearch following the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 112 post-Census validated new addresses. The suburb's density stands at 3,133 persons per square kilometer, positioning it within the top quartile among locations nationwide evaluated by AreaSearch.

Furthermore, the 7.1% increase in the suburb of Mentone outpaced the broader SA3 area's 6.8% rate, establishing it as a regional growth frontrunner. The influx was overwhelmingly underpinned by overseas migration, which made up around 87.0% of recent population additions. Population modeling by AreaSearch incorporates the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2-level figures, using 2022 as a baseline. Where specific SA2 projections are absent, 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA datasets are implemented using weighted aggregation methods to bridge LGA trends down to SA2 zones, with age-group expansion rates spanning 2032 to 2041 applied systematically. Under these projected demographic trajectories, the suburb of Mentone is anticipated to outpace the national median for statistical regions, adding 1,736 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2 models, translating to an overall growth rate of 12.0% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Mentone

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

210 new dwellings have been approved in Mentone over the past five years, an average of 42 a year. That is 3.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 41 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 39% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 35, broadly in line with 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

Residential construction figures from the ABS, compiled by AreaSearch across statistical boundaries, show the local market averaging approximately 42 dwelling approvals annually, amounting to around 210 residential units across the last 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 35 approvals have been lodged. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the addition of 1.4 new residents per completed dwelling annually highlighted a balanced residential construction pipeline; however, this ratio climbed to 5.8 people per dwelling over the most recent 2 financial years, pointing toward constrained residential supply and accelerating demand. The mean estimated construction cost for incoming dwellings is $821,000, signaling a focus among builders on upmarket, higher-tier residential development.

Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $129.8 million during this financial year, demonstrating considerable momentum in non-residential construction. Relative to Greater Melbourne on a per-capita basis, local building approvals represent roughly two-thirds the metropolitan rate and position the locality in the 39th percentile across Australia, restricting new stock pipelines while bolstering demand fundamentals for existing residential housing. This sub-national approval rate reflects the mature, established urban fabric and possible zoning constraints. In terms of product typology, detached houses comprise 39.0% of upcoming stock, while attached dwellings make up 61.0%, catering to downsizers, first-home purchasers, and investors seeking higher-density living. Generating one dwelling approval per 378 residents reinforces the locality's developed urban status. Urban demographic projections point to an additional 1,694 people settling in the area by 2041 relative to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If residential development continues at its prevailing pace, housing supply could fall short of resident intake, which may intensify competition among property purchasers and place upward pressure on residential asset values.

Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 24 applications for Mentone, but they are a record of past activity rather than a current register. Victoria has no state-wide planning portal and its council coverage is uneven, so we have switched the search off here rather than return partial answers. We are currently investigating a solution. No credits are charged for Victorian applications, and building approvals from the ABS and the major projects we track are unaffected.

In contrast, Greater Melbourne registered a 2.1% expansion in employment, a 2.3% gain in the labour force, and a 0.2 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Future labour trends can be evaluated using the Mar-26 projections from Jobs and Skills Australia.

Mapping these national sectoral trajectories onto the local workforce distribution suggests that local employment could grow by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate specific localized population modeling.

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 — 112 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (13,197 at the 2021 Census → 14,130 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 (SAL21648). 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 Mentone 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 Mentone 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 Mentone 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 (Apr 2026) 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.
