Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Pelican Waters has an estimated resident population of around 8,595, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS population updates and newly verified addresses since the Census. When compared against the 2021 Census count of 7,393 people, this represents an addition of 1,202 people, or 16.3%. This demographic trajectory is derived from an AreaSearch resident baseline of 8,479, established following the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside 513 validated new addresses recorded post-Census date. The resulting population density stands at 1,030 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical AreaSearch benchmark locations.
Expanding at 16.3% since the 2021 census, the suburb of Pelican Waters outpaced both the national average and Rest of Qld (9.4%), establishing itself as a standout regional growth center. The primary catalyst behind these local population increases was interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 59.0% of recent overall population gains. Projections for the suburb of Pelican Waters draw upon ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 datasets released in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year), supplemented beyond 2032 or for non-covered areas by Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts issued in 2023 from 2021 data. Because these state figures omit age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch incorporates age-specific proportional distributions from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 (utilizing 2022 data). Looking forward across the demographic landscape, the suburb of Pelican Waters is projected to achieve growth exceeding the median for Australia's non-metropolitan regions, with aggregated SA2-level figures indicating a gain of 1,350 persons leading up to 2041, representing a total 16-year expansion of 14.4%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
510 new dwellings have been approved in Pelican Waters over the past five years, an average of 102 a year. That places the area in the 89th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 114 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 84% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 115, 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
ABS building approval statistics examined by AreaSearch indicate that Pelican Waters has maintained an annual average of roughly 102 new residential approvals, adding up to an estimated 510 homes across the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 115 approvals have already been registered. Between FY-21 and FY-25 over the past 5 financial years, the locality registered an average influx of 2.1 people per year for every newly built home, demonstrating healthy demand that supports property valuations. New residential properties carry an average construction cost value of $885,000, underscoring that developers are concentrating on upper-tier, high-end builds.
Alongside this, commercial building approvals have reached $1.4 million this financial year, pointing to relatively subdued commercial construction activity. Per-capita building activity in Pelican Waters mirrors the rate seen across Rest of Qld, reinforcing local stability consistent with regional trends. This pace remains substantially higher than the national benchmark, highlighting sustained developer appetite. The new dwelling pipeline is heavily weighted toward detached housing at 84.0%, while medium and high-density builds make up 16.0%, reinforcing the suburban character and catering to buyers seeking standalone homes. Furthermore, the area records approximately 75 people per dwelling approval, signifying an active and expanding market. Looking toward future residential supply and demand, latest AreaSearch quarterly estimates project that Pelican Waters will add 1,234 residents through to 2041. Ongoing building volumes appear well-positioned to satisfy this forthcoming population growth, fostering supportive conditions for purchasers while offering capacity for local development to surpass current expectations.

3,487 residents of Pelican Waters are employed, from a labour force of 3,626. Unemployment sits at 3.8%, with participation at 48.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% 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 7,634, 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
Pelican Waters maintains a capable local workforce featuring strong representation across essential industries, alongside a low unemployment rate of 3.8% based on AreaSearch statistical aggregations. As of March 2026, employed residents number 3,487. The local unemployment level closely tracks the 3.9% figure reported for Regional Qld, whereas the labor participation rate of 48.7% sits notably below the 64.2% recorded across Regional Qld. Census records indicate that 23.7% of employed locals conducted their work from home, a proportion that may reflect conditions during Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
Retail trade represents an area of marked local specialization, with a workforce share standing at 1.2 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.4% of local employment, compared to 4.5% across the region. Given the difference between resident workers and local employment figures recorded at the Census, this largely residential community provides relatively limited commercial employment within its own borders. According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM statistical data, the recent 12-month period saw local employment contract by 2.3% and the total labor force decline by 1.2%, which lifted the unemployment rate by 1.1 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced an employment uptick of 0.1%, a 0.3% rise in the labor force, and a minor 0.1 percentage points increase in unemployment. Future labor requirements in Pelican Waters can be evaluated through national industry projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 across five and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, total employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with varying rates across different industries. Applying these sector projections to the local workforce composition suggests Pelican Waters could see job numbers grow by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that does not factor in localized demographic changes).

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 — 513 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,393 at the 2021 Census → 8,595 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 (SAL32294). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
