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
Peregian Springs has an estimated 10,708 residents, up from 9,532 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,176 people, or 12.3%. Growth has averaged 2.5% a year over five years, faster than 78% of areas nationally. 111 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 53.0% of that increase. That puts 1,979 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
In the suburb of Peregian Springs, the population stands at approximately 10,708 as of Aug 2026, calculated through AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population revisions and post-Census validated addresses. Compared to the 9,532 residents counted in the 2021 Census, this indicates an expansion of 1,176 people (12.3%). This resident count of 10,708 was determined by AreaSearch following the ABS's June 2025 ERP release alongside 111 validated new addresses recorded after the Census date. Consequently, population density reaches 1,979 persons per square kilometer, placing it above the national benchmark across locations assessed by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Peregian Springs outpaced both its broader SA3 area (6.1%) and the Rest of Qld with its 12.3% post-2021 census gain, establishing itself at the forefront of regional growth. Net interstate arrivals served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 53.0% of recent population gains, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas migration. For individual SA2 boundaries, AreaSearch relies on ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 using 2022 as a base. In instances where SA2 areas lack coverage or extend past 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 projections issued in 2023 from 2021 data are utilised. Because those state forecasts omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch implements proportional cohort weightings aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 data. Looking ahead, demographic forecasts suggest the suburb of Peregian Springs will exceed regional Australia's median pace of expansion, adding 1,763 persons to 2041 under consolidated SA2 figures, which represents an overall gain of 16.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
183 new dwellings have been approved in Peregian Springs over the past five years, an average of 36 a year. That places the area in the 71st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 27 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 56% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, 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 ABS residential building approval metrics allocated by AreaSearch from statistical data, Peregian Springs has recorded an average annual volume of approximately 36 dwelling approvals. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an estimated 183 dwellings were approved, with 8 logged to date in FY-25. With a ratio of 9.4 incoming residents per year for each newly built residence over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), construction continues to lag local demand, putting upward pressure on property values and intensifying buyer competition. Furthermore, the anticipated construction cost for new homes averages $799,000, demonstrating that builders are concentrating on upscale developments for the premium sector.
Non-residential activity remains modest, with $7.6 million in commercial development approvals recorded this financial year. On a per-capita basis, building volume in Peregian Springs tracks at roughly 57% of the level observed across the Rest of Qld, sitting at the 51st percentile of localities nationwide despite recent acceleration in construction activity. Falling below the national average as well, this trend reflects a mature urban fabric and possible planning restrictions. Detached dwellings represent 56.0% of recent builds while multi-unit formats like townhouses or apartments make up 44.0%, indicating an increasing shift toward medium-density housing that broadens market accessibility from family properties to more compact designs. This pattern diverges notably from the established structural base of 78.0% houses, pointing to constrained greenfield land availability, changing resident lifestyle choices, and affordability pressures. Generating around 288 people per approval, the local market is visibly evolving. Long-term demographic forecasts from AreaSearch's latest quarterly figures indicate that Peregian Springs is set to expand by 1,763 residents by 2041. If residential building activity stays at its current pace, incoming housing supply could fall short of resident inflows, likely intensifying competition for dwellings and supporting higher real estate values.

5,377 residents of Peregian Springs are employed, from a labour force of 5,478. Unemployment sits at 1.8%, with participation at 65.1%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 8,883, about 83% 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
Workforce data aggregated by AreaSearch reveals that Peregian Springs features a capable labour pool across various industries, alongside a low unemployment rate of 1.8%. Total employed residents numbered 5,377 as of March 2026, while the local jobless rate sits 2.1% lower than the 3.9% recorded for Regional Qld, and labour force participation closely tracks the regional benchmark of 64.2%. Census figures also showed that 22.3% of workers carried out their duties from home, though this was recorded during a period subject to Covid-19 restrictions. Locals are primarily employed across health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food.
Employment specialization is especially pronounced in professional & technical fields, where the local representation reaches 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.6% of local jobs compared to 4.5% across the wider region. Given the contrast between local resident employee counts and the working population recorded in the Census, the suburb functions primarily as a residential catchment with limited internal employment generation. Evaluations of ABS and SALM metrics by AreaSearch indicate that over the 12-month period, the local labour force contracted by 2.0% as employment dropped by 2.4%, pushing the unemployment rate up by 0.4 percentage points. By comparison, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% labour force expansion, and a 0.1 percentage points rise in unemployment. Long-term labour outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide further perspective on employment demand across five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, job numbers are projected to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely across industries. When mapped to the local sectoral profile using a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes (excluding local population projections), employment for Peregian Springs residents is modeled to rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years.

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 — 111 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,532 at the 2021 Census → 10,708 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.
