Moonee Beach has an estimated 2,686 residents, up from 2,176 at the 2021 Census — a change of 510 people, or 23.4%. Growth has averaged 4.2% a year over five years, faster than 92% of areas nationally. 268 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 41.0% of that increase. That puts 147 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 AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census address validations, the suburb of Moonee Beach reached an estimated resident total of approximately 2,686 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 510 people (23.4%) above the 2,176 people recorded at the 2021 Census. Such growth builds upon the 2,653 resident count determined from the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside 268 validated new addresses confirmed post-Census. With a resulting density of 147 persons per square kilometer, the community enjoys spacious surroundings that can accommodate ongoing expansion.
The 23.4% population rise recorded since the 2021 census outpaced both the broader SA4 territory and the SA3 area (4.0%), establishing the suburb of Moonee Beach as a regional standout. While positive momentum occurred across natural increase and interstate arrivals, net overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 41.0% of all recent population additions. Population projections produced by ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline) are applied across SA2 territories by AreaSearch, with NSW State Government SA2 forecasts (released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline) filling any remaining gaps. Age-specific expansion trajectories derived from these datasets are extended across all local markets from 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic models, the suburb of Moonee Beach is anticipated to experience exceptional expansion ranking within the top 10 percent of regional Australian non-metropolitan districts, adding 1,213 persons by 2041 via aggregated SA2 modeling and achieving an overall 16-year increase of 43.9%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
210 new dwellings have been approved in Moonee Beach over the past five years, an average of 42 a year. That places the area in the 83rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 16 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 44 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 86% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 62, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals compiled across statistical boundaries indicates that Moonee Beach has averaged roughly 42 residential building permits per annum, amounting to approximately 210 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, 62 approvals have been authorized. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 2.2 new residents per year has been added for every approved dwelling, demonstrating resilient underlying demand that underpins asset values, while average dwelling construction costs stand at $544,000 to sit moderately above regional benchmarks and emphasize quality residential creation. In contrast, commercial building approvals have totaled $717,000 during this financial year, reflecting subdued commercial construction.
Relative to Rest of NSW, Moonee Beach generates 387.0% more building activity on a per-capita basis, offering prospective purchasers extensive residential options. This volume substantially exceeds nationwide norms, signaling high levels of developer confidence across the local market. Standalone dwellings constitute 86.0% of new residential development while medium and high-density builds represent 14.0%, reinforcing the low-density character of the neighborhood to attract buyers seeking generous space. Overall, there are approximately 39 people per dwelling approval, underscoring an expanding property sector. Moving forward, projections from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release indicate that Moonee Beach will add 1,180 residents through to 2041. Ongoing rates of residential development should adequately accommodate this demographic expansion, fostering favourable buying opportunities while potentially allowing population increases to outstrip baseline forecasts.

15-17 Pine Crescent & Ti-Tree Road Residential Subdivision
Development application to subdivide land at Ti-Tree Road and Pine Crescent, Sandy Beach, to create 113 low-density residential lots, 1 biodiversity stewardship lot and associated roads, bulk earthworks and services. The Northern Regional Planning Panel refused the DA (0220/25DA; Panel Ref PPSNTH-367) on 29 April 2025, citing flood and stormwater risk, impacts on coastal wetlands and Hearnes Lake, and unresolved design and servicing issues. The applicant, Elite Constructions NSW, has since lodged a Class 1 appeal against the refusal in the NSW Land and Environment Court.An amended proposal was placed on public exhibition by Coffs Harbour City Council, drawing more than 800 objections and one submission in support.
Ti-Tree Road / Pine Crescent Residential Subdivision
Proposed 113 lot low density residential subdivision on approximately 49.6 ha between Ti-Tree Road and 15-17 Pine Crescent at Sandy Beach, including new internal roads and drainage and bushfire access. The development application by Elite Constructions NSW Pty Ltd seeks to create 113 residential lots plus a residue lot on land partly zoned residential and partly environmental conservation. In April 2025 the Northern Regional Planning Panel unanimously refused the 113 lot DA on flooding, environmental and infrastructure impact grounds, so the project currently has no development approval and would require a new or amended application to proceed.

1,367 residents of Moonee Beach are employed, from a labour force of 1,383. Unemployment sits at 1.2%, with participation at 66.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 2,225, about 83% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Moonee Beach maintains a highly capable local workforce supported by strong representation across essential service industries, a jobless rate standing at only 1.2%, and an estimated 4.4% expansion in workforce employment during the trailing twelve months according to AreaSearch aggregated metrics. As of March 2026, employed residents total 1,367, while local unemployment sits 2.9% under the 4.1% mark seen across Regional NSW, accompanied by an elevated labor force participation rate of 66.6% versus 60.6% for Regional NSW. In addition, 15.7% of employed locals indicated working from home at the Census, although prevailing Covid-19 health directives at the time must be taken into account.
The primary employment sectors among local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Construction shows an especially heavy concentration, employing local residents at 1.5 times the regional average rate. By comparison, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 2.3% of the resident workforce against 5.3% across the wider region. An assessment of local Census jobs relative to the resident worker population suggests that internal employment opportunities within the suburb remain relatively restricted. According to AreaSearch compilations of ABS and SALM figures across regional boundaries, the past 12-month period generated a 4.4% rise in employment alongside a 4.1% expansion in the total labor pool, enabling the unemployment rate to decline by 0.2 percentage points. Conversely, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in total employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage points rise in unemployment. National employment modeling from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provides broader context on future workforce requirements for Moonee Beach. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local industry base to model potential outcomes. Nationwide job counts are anticipated to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories differ substantially by sector. Extrapolating these industry projections across the local workforce structure indicates prospective employment expansion of 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years within Moonee Beach (serving as a basic weighting model for illustration without factoring in localized population trends).

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 — 268 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,176 at the 2021 Census → 2,686 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.
