Moggill

Population growth drivers in Moggill are above average 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 5,489 as of Nov 2025. This reflects an increase of 460 people (9.1%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 5,029 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 5,435, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2024) and an additional 59 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 471 persons per square kilometer, providing significant space per person and potential room for further development. Moggill's 9.1% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area (6.1%), along with the SA4 region, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area 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, as 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 Moggill statistical area (Lv2) expected to increase by 185 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a reduction of 0.8% 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 received around 20 dwelling approvals each year over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 104 homes. In FY-26 so far, 10 approvals have been recorded. This pace matches or exceeds demand, with approximately one person moving to the area per dwelling built annually between FY-21 and FY-25. The average construction cost of new homes is $516,000, indicating a focus on premium market properties.

Commercial approvals totalled $37.2 million in FY-26, reflecting strong local business investment. Compared to Greater Brisbane, Moggill has slightly more development per person over the past five years, preserving buyer options while sustaining property demand. Recent building activity consists solely of standalone homes, maintaining the area's low-density character and appealing to families seeking space.

The location has approximately 209 people per dwelling approval, suggesting an expanding market despite stable or declining population projections, which should reduce housing demand pressures and benefit potential buyers.

The employment environment in Moggill shows above-average strength when compared nationally

Moggill has a highly educated workforce with professional services well represented. The unemployment rate as of September 2025 was 3.4%.

This is based on AreaSearch's aggregation of statistical area data and is 0.6% below Greater Brisbane's rate of 4.0%. Workforce participation in Moggill is 70.4%, compared to Greater Brisbane's 64.5%. Key industries include health care & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical services. Education & training has a particularly strong representation with an employment share 1.5 times the regional level.

However, accommodation & food services are under-represented at 4.4% compared to Greater Brisbane's 6.7%. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited local employment opportunities as indicated by the difference between Census working population and resident population. Over the 12 months to September 2025, labour force levels decreased by 3.8%, while employment declined by 3.6%, resulting in a fall of 0.3 percentage points in unemployment rate compared to Greater Brisbane's growth of 3.8% in employment and 3.3% in labour force with a 0.5 percentage point decrease in unemployment rate. State-level data from QLD as of 25-Nov shows employment contracted by 0.01%, losing 1,210 jobs, with an unemployment rate of 4.2%. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 suggest a potential future demand within Moggill. These projections estimate national employment growth at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Moggill's employment mix suggests 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 account for localized population projections.
