Sales Detail
Moore Park Beach has an estimated 3,411 residents, up from 2,890 at the 2021 Census — a change of 521 people, or 18.0%. Growth has averaged 3.3% a year over five years, faster than 89% of areas nationally. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 63.0% of that increase. Density is about 57 people per 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's evaluation of regional ABS updates alongside post-Census address validations, the suburb of Moore Park Beach reaches an estimated population of approximately 3,411 by Aug 2026. This marks an expansion of 521 residents (18.0%) relative to the 2,890 persons enumerated in the 2021 Census. Such growth is calculated from an estimated resident count of 3,395 following the June 2025 ABS ERP release, supplemented by 10 validated new addresses added after the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 57 persons per square kilometer, indicating generous living room per resident.
With an 18.0% gain since the 2021 Census, the suburb outpaced the wider SA3 area (9.3%) as well as the Rest of Qld, establishing itself as a standout regional growth center. This influx was predominantly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 63.0% of recent population additions, though natural growth and overseas arrivals also provided positive contributions. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset with a 2022 baseline for local SA2 zones, switching to 2023 Queensland State Government projections (based on 2021 numbers) for post-2032 horizons or uncovered regions. Because the state figures omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch aligns age distribution using proportional weightings from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (2022 data base). Looking ahead, the suburb of Moore Park Beach is slated for expansion slightly under the non-capital median, adding 277 residents by 2041 across aggregated SA2 projections—an overall rise of 7.7% over the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
65 new dwellings have been approved in Moore Park Beach over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That places the area in the 76th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 23, 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 residential approvals by AreaSearch shows that the development pipeline in Moore Park Beach averages roughly 13 approved dwellings per year, yielding an estimated 65 residential dwellings across the last 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 23 approvals have been granted. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 6.3 new residents arrived annually for every home constructed, demonstrating that dwelling supply is trailing demographic growth and placing upward pressure on property prices through competitive bidding. Meanwhile, new residential construction costs average $466,000, aligning with regional trends. Non-residential building activity remains modest, with $1.3 million in commercial approvals logged in the current financial year, highlighting a heavily residential development environment.
Per capita building activity in Moore Park Beach sits at roughly 75% of the level recorded across the Rest of Qld, placing the locality in the 76th percentile among evaluated regions across the country, with building momentum stepping up in recent times. Recent residential approvals have consisted entirely of detached single-family dwellings, preserving the low-density neighborhood fabric and catering to family buyers seeking larger parcels of land. The construction rate registers at approximately 142 people per approval, pointing to an evolving community undergoing steady development. Demographic outlooks project that Moore Park Beach will take on an additional 261 residents up to 2041, measured from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Under prevailing residential development rates, newly created housing should comfortably absorb projected population inflows, creating favorable purchasing conditions and potentially paving the way for faster growth than baseline forecasts suggest.

1,506 residents of Moore Park Beach are employed, from a labour force of 1,589. Unemployment sits at 5.2%, with participation at 53.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% 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 2,658, about 78% 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
The local labour market in Moore Park Beach presents a diverse blend of blue-collar and white-collar roles, supported by solid representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of 5.2%, and annual employment growth estimated at 10.3% via AreaSearch statistical area modeling. By March 2026, 1,506 local residents were actively employed. The local jobless rate sits 1.3% above the Regional Qld benchmark of 3.9%, while the participation rate of 53.8% trails the wider Regional Qld figure of 64.2%. Census figures indicated that just 8.0% of workers performed their duties from home, though this metric was subject to COVID-19 restriction patterns.
Local resident employment is anchored mainly by health care & social assistance, retail trade, and agriculture, forestry & fishing. The health care & social assistance sector shows exceptional concentration, engaging workers at 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, accommodation & food accounts for only 4.3% of the resident workforce, trailing the 8.3% recorded across Regional Qld. A comparison of resident workers against the local Census working population points to a limited base of employment opportunities within the immediate locality. According to combined SALM and ABS statistical data assessed by AreaSearch, the past 12-month period saw local employment rise by 10.3% and the labour force expand by 7.7%, reducing the local unemployment rate by 2.3 percentage points. Across Regional Qld over the same timeframe, employment increased by 0.1%, the labour force grew by 0.3%, and unemployment edged up by 0.1 percentage points. Future workplace demand can be evaluated using the Mar-26 Jobs and Skills Australia national projections. Across Australia, workforce numbers are projected to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying across sectors. When applied to the occupational structure of Moore Park Beach, these industry projections suggest employment expansion of 6.3% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (representing an unadjusted industry-weighted model for illustrative purposes, excluding localized population adjustments).

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 — 10 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,890 at the 2021 Census → 3,411 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 (SAL31905). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
