This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
New Gisborne has an estimated 2,938 residents, up from 2,509 at the 2021 Census — a change of 429 people, or 17.1%. Growth has averaged 2.9% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. 186 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 53.0% of that increase. That puts 112 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
Determined from analysis of ABS population revisions for the surrounding region, as well as new locations verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of New Gisborne has an estimated residency of 2,938 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 429 people (17.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 2,509 residents. The estimation is based on a resident figure of 2,927 computed by AreaSearch following analysis of the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus 186 verified new locations established post-Census. With this number of residents, the spatial density stands at 112 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and potential scope for subsequent expansion.
The 17.1% rate of growth for the suburb of New Gisborne since the 2021 Census outpaced the broader SA3 area (8.7%) and the state overall, positioning it as a local growth frontrunner. Incoming residents from other states accounted for the largest share of population growth, delivering approximately 53.0% of total gains in recent times, though net positive contributions were also recorded across all other sources, including arrivals from overseas and natural increases. Projections utilize ABS and Geoscience Australia forecasts published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline. Where specific SA2 projections are unavailable, regional and LGA outlooks from the Victorian State Government published in 2023 are applied, with adjustments made through weighted aggregation from local government to statistical area levels. Age distribution patterns derived from these profiles are also projected forward to cover 2032 through to 2041. Future expectations show population gains placing the suburb of New Gisborne in the highest national quartile, with projected growth of 1,099 individuals by 2041 based on compiled SA2 models, translating to a total rise of 37.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
223 new dwellings have been approved in New Gisborne over the past five years, an average of 44 a year. That places the area in the 73rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 15 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 56 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 98% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 34, broadly in line with 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
Evaluation of ABS building approvals assigned to local statistical boundaries shows that New Gisborne has averaged around 44 residential approvals annually. This includes an estimated 223 homes approved across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 32 during the current FY-26 period. The ratio of population growth to construction stood at an average of 1.8 persons for every new dwelling built during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), indicating balanced supply and demand dynamics, though this has accelerated to 4 persons per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, reflecting heightened local demand and potential capacity pressures.
Newly approved properties carry an average construction value of $535,000, indicating that development is oriented toward high-end, premium housing. Commercial approvals have also reached $32.5 million during the current financial year, pointing to strong corporate investment locally. Relative to Greater Melbourne, development activity per capita in New Gisborne is 95.0% higher, giving purchasers a wider selection of properties, despite a recent softening in construction momentum. The current rate of development is notably higher than the national benchmark, demonstrating clear developer confidence in the area. Recent approvals consist of 98.0% standalone houses and 2.0% semi-detached or multi-unit dwellings, maintaining the low-density profile of the area by focusing on detached properties suited to buyers seeking space. Approximately 94 residents are represented for each new residential approval, pointing to a growing market. Long-term outlooks suggest the population of New Gisborne will expand by 1,088 residents by 2041, measured from the latest quarterly figures. Under current construction trajectories, incoming housing supply appears well-positioned to meet this demand, supporting favorable buyer conditions and potentially enabling growth to exceed current baseline projections.

Gisborne Business Park Expansion
Planned expansion of the Gisborne Business Park to the south and east of the existing New Gisborne industrial area. The project is intended to provide additional industrial and commercial land, support local jobs and business growth, and resolve servicing, transport and planning controls through a future planning scheme amendment and development plan process.
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.

1,561 residents of New Gisborne are employed, from a labour force of 1,586. Unemployment sits at 1.6%, with participation at 67.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% 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 2,252, about 77% 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 workforce contains a high proportion of skilled personnel with strong representation in essential service sectors, an unemployment rate of only 1.6%, and estimated jobs growth of 0.7% over the last year. As of March 2026, there are 1,561 working residents, with the unemployment rate tracking 3.2% lower than the 4.8% recorded across Greater Melbourne, while labor force participation is slightly lower than the metropolitan benchmark (67.1% compared to 70.2% in Greater Melbourne). Census data indicates that a high 29.1% of employees worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic containment measures.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, along with education & training. The building sector shows a high concentration locally, with an employment share 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services account for only 7.9% of workers, compared to 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. Comparison between the local workforce count and resident numbers suggests this largely residential district provides few local job opportunities. Based on SALM and ABS figures compiled for the year ending March 2026, local employment numbers expanded by 0.7% while the overall labor force grew by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point decline in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Melbourne recorded employment growth of 2.1% and labor force growth of 2.3%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. National forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia point to future demand trends, which have been aligned to the local workforce composition to project potential outcomes. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary considerably by sector. Applying these national projections to the local sector mix suggests employment for residents could rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, representing a basic weighting extrapolation rather than a local population forecast.

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 — 186 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,509 at the 2021 Census → 2,938 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 (SAL21921). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
