Mount Macedon has an estimated 1,504 residents, up from 1,450 at the 2021 Census — a change of 54 people, or 3.7%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. Density is about 44 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
Analysis of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside new address points validated by AreaSearch since the Census, indicates that the suburb of Mount Macedon has an estimated population of approximately 1,504 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 54 people (3.7%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the population was recorded at 1,450 people. This shift is derived from the resident population of 1,504, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) plus an additional 6 validated new addresses since the Census date.
With this population level, the area has a density ratio of 44 persons per square kilometer, which offers plenty of space per resident. Natural growth was the primary driver of population increases, accounting for approximately 56.99999999999999% of all population growth during recent periods. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas where these are unavailable, AreaSearch uses Regional/LGA projections from the VIC State Government released in 2023, adjusted via a weighted aggregation methodology to map growth from LGA to SA2 levels. The age group growth rates from these aggregations are also applied across all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these aggregated SA2-level projections, the suburb of Mount Macedon is projected to experience population growth above the national median, with an expected increase of 285 persons to 2041, representing a total gain of 18.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
21 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Macedon over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 2.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, well below 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
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area data, Mount Macedon has averaged about 4 annual dwelling approvals, totaling an estimated 21 approved homes over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 2 so far in FY-26. Built dwellings have generated an average of 2.7 new residents for each completion over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), indicating healthy demand that reinforces local property values. The average value of new home construction stands at $1,104,000, which shows developers are concentrating on the high-end residential market with premium properties.
Additionally, commercial approvals reached $425,000 this financial year, pointing to a market that is overwhelmingly residential in nature. In comparison to Greater Melbourne, Mount Macedon exhibits minimal development activity, running at 68.0% below the regional per capita average. This limited rate of new building supply typically bolsters demand and prices for existing homes. This volume of building is also lower than the national benchmark, reflecting a mature market that may face development constraints. Furthermore, all recent building permits have been for detached houses, preserving the classic low-density lifestyle of the area with family-oriented properties suited for buyers wanting space. The estimated ratio of 754 people in the area for every single dwelling approval underscores the quiet and low-key building environment. According to population projections, Mount Macedon is set to add 285 residents by 2041, measured from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. If development remains at its current pace, the supply of new housing may not keep up with population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and support higher property values.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Macedon Ranges Sports Precinct
The Macedon Ranges Sports Precinct is a staged regional sport and recreation development at New Gisborne, spread across two interconnected sites at the intersection of Barringo and Hamilton roads. It is the largest capital works project ever undertaken by Macedon Ranges Shire Council. Stage One, budgeted at over $29 million, opened on 28 June 2024 and delivered a three-court indoor sports stadium with spectator seating, kiosk, sport administration office and amenities on the western site, plus a natural turf AFL and cricket oval, pavilion with change rooms, fitness loop, half-court basketball, playground, outdoor table tennis, barbecue areas, wetland and car parking on the eastern site.Stage Two, valued at $17 million and funded by $15 million from the Australian Government and $2 million from Council, commenced in November 2025 under contractors Harris HMC (western stadium extension) and ACE Infrastructure (eastern sports fields). Stage Two adds three further multi-use indoor courts, four gender-neutral changerooms, additional offices, amenities and parking on the western site, and a second natural turf oval, two outdoor netball courts and further car parking on the eastern site. Construction progressed through 2026 with oval turf works completed and structural steel erected for the stadium extension by April 2026. Eastern side completion is expected mid-2026 and western side completion late 2026, with all new facilities open in early 2027. A proposed Stage Three, estimated at $15.5 million and still seeking external funding, would add retractable seating, a function and multi-purpose room extension, a canopy linking the existing netball courts to the sports hub, a pavilion extension and cricket nets. The precinct serves more than 3,300 participants across basketball, netball, AFL, cricket, futsal, volleyball and badminton, and adjoins the eight-court Macedon Ranges Regional Netball Complex.

862 residents of Mount Macedon are employed, from a labour force of 871. Unemployment sits at 1.0%, with participation at 71.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,272, about 85% 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
AreaSearch statistical area aggregations indicate that Mount Macedon has a highly educated workforce with a significant concentration of professionals, and an unemployment rate of only 1.0%. As of March 2026, there are 862 working residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 3.7% below the Greater Melbourne level of 4.8%, while participation in the labour force matches Greater Melbourne's rate of 70.2%. Census figures indicate that a high proportion of residents, specifically 42.3%, worked from home, although this should be viewed in light of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. The local resident workforce is heavily concentrated in the professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and public administration & safety sectors.
Public administration & safety shows a notable local specialization, representing 1.8 times the regional employment share. On the other hand, retail trade is underrepresented at 6.6% compared to the regional average of 9.8%. The balance between the Census working population and the resident population suggests that local employment opportunities within the area are limited. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical areas, the labour force contracted by 0.6% during the 12 months to March 2026, while employment fell by 0.6%, resulting in a stable unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded a 2.1% rise in employment and a 2.3% expansion of the labour force, with the unemployment rate rising by 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future demand in Mount Macedon. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce mix suggests that employment in Mount Macedon is on track to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, noting that this is a simple weighted extrapolation for illustration and does not incorporate local population projections.

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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,450 at the 2021 Census → 1,504 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 (SAL21801). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
