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
Ooralea has an estimated 3,862 residents, up from 3,691 at the 2021 Census — a change of 171 people, or 4.6%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. That puts 702 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
Following assessment of ABS population revisions for the surrounding region alongside new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Ooralea has an estimated population of approximately 3,862 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 171 residents (4.6%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 3,691 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 3,849, projected by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025 and 2 additional validated new addresses after the Census date. The population density stands at 702 persons per square kilometer, a figure that is largely consistent with average levels recorded across areas analyzed by AreaSearch.
Throughout the past ten years, the suburb of Ooralea has shown steady growth with a compound annual rate of 1.3%, ahead of the SA3 region. Population gains were primarily supported by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 59.0% of the overall increase, though all sources including overseas arrivals and natural increase made positive contributions. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia demographic projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, or for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and anchored on 2021 data are utilized. Because these state-level projections omit age group breakdowns, AreaSearch scales cohort growth proportionally in alignment with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 based on 2022 data. Looking at future regional dynamics, demographic expansion is anticipated to exceed the national median for non-metropolitan zones, with the suburb of Ooralea projected to add 694 residents by 2041 under consolidated SA2 projections, representing an overall rise of 17.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
34 new dwellings have been approved in Ooralea over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 1.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 1, 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approval records apportioned from local statistical boundaries, the suburb of Ooralea averages approximately 6 approved residential dwellings annually, culminating in an estimated total of 34 residences during the past 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, a single approval has been logged. With an average of 6.1 new residents per completed dwelling arriving annually between FY-21 and FY-25, construction levels are running behind demand, a trend that typically fuels buyer rivalry and upward pressure on prices, while newly built homes carry an average construction value of $478,000, which sits slightly above regional benchmarks and points to a focus on premium builds.
Relative to the Rest of Qld, the suburb of Ooralea registers roughly half the rate of new dwelling approvals per resident and sits in the 19th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide, leaving purchasers with fewer options and bolstering demand for established properties. This rate is also below national averages, indicating a mature market and potential development limits. Moreover, new housing construction has consisted entirely of detached houses, preserving the established low-density feel of the neighborhood with spacious properties geared towards families. The ratio of 856 people in the area for every single residential approval highlights the calm, low-volume nature of local construction activity. Demographic projections indicate that the suburb of Ooralea will add 681 residents by 2041, measured from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. If residential construction volumes remain at current levels, housing supply may fall short of population gains, which is likely to escalate buyer competition and support property value growth.

It is forecast to deliver 134.1 million dollars to the local economy in its first 10 years and support around 280 onsite jobs once operational, with new businesses expected to generate 42.5 million dollars in annual output. Milton Precinct sits within a broader 60 million dollar Mackay Airport infrastructure program that also includes a terminal transformation, a major runway overlay and expanded car parking, with the terminal upgrade starting in January 2026. Local family business Vassallo Constructions delivered the Stage 1 civil works.
Mackay Educational Precinct

1,987 residents of Ooralea are employed, from a labour force of 2,016. Unemployment sits at 1.4%, with participation at 64.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,443, about 89% 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 suburb of Ooralea features a capable talent pool with strong representation in industrial and manufacturing fields, an unemployment rate of a mere 1.4%, and an estimated employment growth of 1.1% over the prior year, based on AreaSearch calculations of regional data. By March 2026, 1,987 local residents were employed, and the unemployment rate was 2.5% below the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld, while labor force participation matched the Regional Qld level of 64.3%. Census data indicates that a minor 3.9% of the workforce operated from home, though the influence of COVID-19 restrictions should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, mining, and retail trade. The concentration of mining workers is particularly striking, standing at 3.8 times the regional average. Conversely, construction has a minor footprint, employing 6.0% of the workforce compared to 10.1% across the wider region. The local economy appears to present few direct employment opportunities, as suggested by comparing Census job numbers within the area to the size of the resident workforce. Based on AreaSearch assessments of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from surrounding areas, employment expanded by 1.1% during the 12 months leading to March 2026, while the overall labor force grew by 1.7%, resulting in a 0.6 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Regional Qld experienced employment growth of 0.1%, labor force expansion of 0.3%, and a rise in unemployment of 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 published by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential changes. Nationally, employment is predicted to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary considerably by industry. Weighting these projections to the local industry profile suggests employment for residents of the suburb of Ooralea could rise by 5.9% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, noting this is a basic weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate localized population growth forecasts.

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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,691 at the 2021 Census → 3,862 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.
