Sales Detail
Mildura has an estimated 34,643 residents, up from 34,565 at the 2021 Census. 708 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 444 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
According to the analysis of demographic updates from the ABS for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Mildura has a population estimated at approximately 34,643 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 78 residents (0.2%) from the 2021 Census, which registered a population of 34,565 people. The adjustment is derived from the resident population of 34,566, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) along with an extra 708 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population size corresponds to a density ratio of 443 persons per square kilometer, offering substantial space per inhabitant and scope for prospective growth. The 0.2% expansion in the suburb of Mildura since the 2021 census was ahead of the SA4 region (-1.0%), even though growth continues to be quiet. Demographic expansion for the locality was chiefly steered by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 82.0% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. In cases where SA2 areas lack this data, AreaSearch employs Regional/LGA projections from the VIC State Government released in 2023, adjusted via a weighted aggregation methodology of population increases from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates across age brackets from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on expected demographic trends, a major population rise in the top quartile of Australia's regional zones is anticipated, with the suburb of Mildura projected to expand by 8,151 persons to 2041 using aggregated SA2-level forecasts, showing an overall increase of 23.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
837 new dwellings have been approved in Mildura over the past five years, an average of 167 a year. That places the area in the 52nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 152 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 86% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 270, 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
AreaSearch evaluations of building approvals from the ABS, distributed from statistical areas, indicate that Mildura has averaged roughly 167 residential properties authorized annually, summing to an estimated 837 homes over the prior 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26248 approvals have been registered. As the region has seen population declines, housing supply has kept pace with demand, resulting in a balanced market with healthy buyer options, while new dwellings carry an average construction value of $408,000, indicating that builders are prioritizing the higher-end sector with upscale projects. Furthermore, $74.6 million in commercial construction approvals have been logged during this financial year, pointing to robust commercial development activity.
Relative to the Rest of Vic., Mildura exhibits a similar rate of new home approvals per capita, preserving a market balance aligned with the wider territory. New residential activity consists of 86.0% detached houses and 14.0% attached dwellings, maintaining the region's established low density pattern with a focus on family properties that attract those wanting space. With approximately 253 people per residential approval, Mildura displays the attributes of a low density locality. Future forecasts indicate Mildura will add 8,074 inhabitants by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch. If current building rates remain constant, housing starts may trail population growth, which is likely to increase buyer competition and support price appreciation.

Mildura South Neighbourhood Activity Centre
Approved $150 million mixed-use neighbourhood activity centre comprising four distinct precincts: commercial (supermarket, specialty shops, health services, hospitality), residential (medium density housing), community (hub, childcare, recreation facilities) and village green (public open space, community garden). The 8-hectare development will serve up to 10,000 residents in the growing Mildura South corridor over the next 10 years.
Mildura Riverfront Redevelopment - Stage 2
The Mildura Riverfront Redevelopment Stage 2 focuses on the revitalisation of the Powerhouse Precinct. This major project involves the transformation of the historic Powerhouse building into a multi-use cultural and commercial hub, the creation of a new bespoke playground, a bitumen pump track, and extensive landscaping. The goal is to strengthen the connection between the Mildura CBD and the riverfront, enhancing the area as a key tourism and community destination.

Comprehensive multi-stage project to revitalise and transform Mildura's Central Business District. Key components include the Feast Street Upgrade with shared street design and dining arbour structures, Langtree Mall placemaking initiatives with grassed areas, lighting and misters, economic feasibility studies, connectivity improvements, and public realm enhancements. The project aims to deliver economic revitalisation, improve access and connectivity, and create a more vibrant, people-oriented centre for community life supported by sustainable economic growth.
Mildura Passenger Rail Return
Long-running advocacy and planning initiative to reinstate passenger rail services between Mildura and Melbourne, restoring a connection that ended in 1993. Mildura remains the largest Victorian regional centre without a passenger rail link. The current focus, as of 2026, has shifted to a staged 'Rails to Recovery' concept circulated by the Rail Revival Alliance Victoria, proposing a standard-gauge locomotive-hauled shuttle between Mildura and Maryborough, connecting with the existing V/Line VLocity service to Melbourne via Ballarat.Two active Victorian Parliament petitions are pushing for the trial: a Legislative Assembly e-petition closing 10 May 2026 and Legislative Council Petition #730 closing 28 February 2026. Mildura MP Jade Benham has renewed parliamentary calls and is meeting rail stakeholders to identify practical pathways. Mildura Rural City Council continues to advocate for the project under its Mildura Future Ready strategy. Significant infrastructure considerations remain, including upgrades at around 145 level crossings, rolling stock provisioning, and operating model. The Victorian Government has not committed funding for delivery as of early 2026.
Hawthorn Ridge Development Plan
The Hawthorn Ridge Development Plan provides a long-term strategic framework for the future subdivision of land bordered by McEdward Street, the Mildura railway line, and Lake Hawthorn. It designates the area for low density residential development with a 0.4 hectare minimum lot size, prioritizing environmental conservation and community access to adjoining recreational reserves.
Big Housing Build - Social Housing Projects
Part of Victoria's Big Housing Build program, delivering new social housing units in Mildura to provide secure, affordable accommodation for vulnerable community members and reduce housing waiting lists. Includes partnerships with MASP and CatholicCare Victoria to build modern, climate-appropriate homes.
Mildura Base Public Hospital Intensive Care Unit Expansion
A $2.48 million expansion of the intensive care unit at Mildura Base Public Hospital, which increased the number of intensive care beds from five to eight and added two short-stay beds. The project involved reconfiguring and upgrading existing rooms to enhance high-quality coronary care capacity, improve patient flow, and reduce waiting times for the Mildura community.
Riverside Ridge Mildura Subdivision
Residential subdivision delivering modern housing lots with river-adjacent amenity, landscaped open space and local park access. Civil design and supervision by MH2 Engineering and Architecture, with development by Fisher Developments.
16,593 residents of Mildura are employed, from a labour force of 17,077. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 60.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Mildura has a qualified workforce with a strong presence in essential services and an unemployment rate of only 2.8%, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area figures. As of March 2026, there are 16,593 employed locals, which puts the unemployment rate 0.9% lower than the Regional Vic. rate of 3.7%, while workforce participation matches the Regional Vic. level of 61.1%. Census details show that a minor 8.5% of residents worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions should be kept in mind. The primary employment sectors for locals are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training.
In contrast, construction has a minor footprint, employing 7.4% of the workforce compared to 10.4% across the region. Although local employment is available within the area, Census comparisons of the working population to the local population indicate that a large number of residents travel elsewhere for their jobs. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader statistical areas indicates that the 12-month period experienced a 3.5% contraction in the labour force and a 1.4% drop in employment, which lowered unemployment by 2.1 percentage points. This contrasts with Regional Vic., where employment fell by 0.1%, the labour force shrank by 0.3%, and unemployment dropped 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia starting in May-25 provide additional context for future demand in Mildura. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year intervals, have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project future growth. While national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expected changes vary significantly by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto Mildura's employment distribution suggests local jobs should rise by 6.2% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and excludes local population forecasts).

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 — 708 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (34,565 at the 2021 Census → 34,643 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL21682). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
