Mundoolun

Mundoolun lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

As of November 2025, Mundoolun's population is estimated at approximately 2,028 people. This figure reflects a growth of 192 individuals since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 1,836. The increase is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population as 1,935 in June 2024, based on the latest ABS ERP data release and validation of eight new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 47 persons per square kilometer. Mundoolun's growth rate of 10.5% since the 2021 census exceeds both national (8.9%) and state averages, positioning it as a regional growth leader. Interstate migration contributed approximately 75.0% to overall population gains in recent periods, with all drivers including natural growth and overseas migration being positive factors.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections from 2023, based on 2021 data, are used. However, these state projections lack age category splits; thus, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings aligned with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 and based on 2022 data for each age cohort. Looking ahead, Mundoolun is forecast to experience a significant population increase, with an expected rise of 812 persons by 2041. This reflects a total increase of 43.7% over the 17-year period, according to aggregated SA2-level projections.

AreaSearch assessment of residential approval activity sees Mundoolun among the top 30% of areas assessed nationwide

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers in Mundoolun shows approximately five new homes approved annually since FY-21. This totals an estimated 27 homes over the past five financial years. As of FY-26, five approvals have been recorded.

On average, 12.2 new residents arrive per year for each dwelling constructed between FY-21 and FY-25. This supply lagging demand indicates heightened buyer competition and pricing pressures, with new dwellings developing at an average cost of $361,000. Mundoolun has seen significantly reduced construction compared to Greater Brisbane, with 89.0% fewer approvals per person. This constrained new construction typically reinforces demand and pricing for existing properties, although recent activity has intensified. The area's maturity and possible planning constraints contribute to this below-average national level of building activity. New building activity in Mundoolun comprises 75.0% detached dwellings and 25.0% medium and high-density housing, maintaining its traditional low-density character focused on family homes.

This shift from the current 100.0% houses reflects reduced development site availability and evolving lifestyle demands. With around 153 people per dwelling approval, Mundoolun exhibits growth area characteristics. AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate projects an increase of 887 residents by 2041. At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and supporting price increases.

Between June 2024 and June 2025, employment increased by 4.8%, while the labour force grew by 4.7%, reducing the unemployment rate by 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Sep-22 project overall growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Mundoolun's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.1% over five years and 12.7% over ten years, though this is a simple extrapolation for illustrative purposes only.
