Moggill

Population growth drivers in Moggill are strong compared to national averages based on AreaSearch's ranking of recent, and medium to long-term trends

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, Moggill's population is estimated at around 5,405 as of Nov 2025. This reflects an increase of 376 people (7.5%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 5,029 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 5,338, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024, and an additional 59 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 464 persons per square kilometer, providing significant space per person and potential room for further development. Moggill's 7.5% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area (5.7%), marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the suburb was primarily driven by natural growth that contributed approximately 50.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted. It should be noted that these state projections do not provide age category splits; hence where utilised, AreaSearch is applying proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Considering the projected demographic shifts, lower quartile growth of statistical areas across the nation is anticipated, with the suburb expected to increase by 183 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 0.7% in total over the 17 years.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Moggill according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Moggill had around 19 dwelling approvals per year on average over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 97 homes. As of FY26, 8 approvals have been recorded. This averages to about 1.1 people moving to the area annually for each dwelling built between FY21 and FY25, indicating balanced supply and demand with stable market conditions. The average construction cost value of new homes is $516,000.

Commercial development in Moggill this financial year amounts to $12.4 million, demonstrating moderate levels of commercial activity. Compared to Greater Brisbane, Moggill has seen 22.0% more development per person over the past five years, offering varied buyer options while sustaining property demand. All new construction consists of detached dwellings, preserving the area's traditional low-density character and appealing to those seeking family homes with space.

There are approximately 275 people per dwelling approval in Moggill, suggesting room for growth. By 2041, Moggill is forecasted to gain 39 residents based on AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate. With current construction levels, housing supply should meet demand adequately, creating favourable conditions for buyers and potentially enabling population growth that exceeds current forecasts.

However, accommodation & food services are under-represented, with only 4.4% of Moggill's workforce compared to Greater Brisbane's 6.7%.

The area appears to offer limited local employment opportunities, as indicated by the difference between the Census working population and resident population. In the year to June 2025, the labour force decreased by 1.7%, with a 2.0% decline in employment leading to a rise in unemployment of 0.3 percentage points. This contrasts with Greater Brisbane's employment growth of 4.4% and labour force growth of 4.0%, accompanied by a fall in unemployment of 0.4 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Sep-22 suggest potential future demand within Moggill. These projections estimate national employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with varying rates across industry sectors. Applying these projections to Moggill's employment mix indicates local employment should increase by 7.0% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, though this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not consider localised population projections.
