Port Melbourne has an estimated 18,322 residents, up from 17,633 at the 2021 Census — a change of 689 people, or 3.9%. 363 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,895 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 Port Melbourne, the resident population is calculated at roughly 18,322 as of Aug 2026, following AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population revisions and address validations conducted after the Census. Compared to the 17,633 people documented in the 2021 Census, this marks an expansion of 689 people (3.9%). AreaSearch derived this shift after reviewing the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside 363 validated new addresses logged post-Census. With a resultant density of 1,894 persons per square kilometer, the locality tracks higher than AreaSearch's national benchmark. Recent demographic expansion has been heavily underpinned by overseas arrivals, representing approximately 79.0% of total inbound growth.
SA2 demographic forecasts published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) form the foundation of AreaSearch's forward modeling for the suburb of Port Melbourne. Where gaps exist, VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections from 2023 are applied via a weighted aggregation from LGA down to SA2 boundaries, with age-cohort growth rates projected forward across 2032 to 2041. These combined figures position the suburb of Port Melbourne in the top quartile across Australia for prospective growth, forecasting an addition of 6,117 persons by 2041, which represents a total increase of 33.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,237 new dwellings have been approved in Port Melbourne over the past five years, an average of 247 a year. That places the area in the 74th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 13 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 248 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 2% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 70, 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
Examining ABS residential approval figures across statistical boundaries, AreaSearch identifies an annual average of roughly 247 approved dwellings in Port Melbourne. Over the 5 financial years from FY-21 through FY-25, approximately 1,237 residential builds were sanctioned, including 70 so far in FY-25. Even with historic population contractions, supply remains balanced against local demand to afford buyers steady choice. Approved residential projects carry an average expected construction cost of $563,000, sitting moderately above regional norms to highlight a focus on premium construction. Meanwhile, $18.6 million in commercial approvals has been logged this financial year, reflecting a steady pace of non-residential development.
Medium-to-high density structures overwhelmingly characterize new building approvals, with attached dwellings making up 98.0% and detached houses accounting for 2.0%. This leaning toward higher density creates approachable opportunities for first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors alike. Indicating a low-density baseline, approvals currently register at approximately 65 people per approval. According to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Port Melbourne is on track to add 6,039 residents by 2041. Ongoing building activity is well placed to satisfy this incoming demand, providing healthy market conditions for purchasers and setting the foundation for growth that could surpass prevailing expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Fishermans Bend Innovation Precinct
Australia's largest urban renewal catalyst, transforming the 32-hectare former General Motors Holden site in Port Melbourne into a globally competitive hub for advanced manufacturing, engineering and design. Stage 1 early works were completed in 2024, with main works now underway delivered by Winslow Infrastructure, comprising a new east-west road link between Salmon Street and Todd Road, a public park, and smart infrastructure including 5G-capable poles and EV charging. Anchored by the University of Melbourne's new School of Engineering and Design campus and NEXTDC's M4 digital campus at 127 Todd Road, the precinct is projected to support up to 30,000 STEM jobs by 2051.
Defence Science Technology Group Redevelopment
The $209 million redevelopment of the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) facility at Fishermans Bend modernizes essential research infrastructure. The project includes the construction of a new consolidated office building, the upgrade of specialized research laboratories, and the implementation of enhanced physical security and access control measures to support a workforce of over 1,000 personnel.
Barak Beacon Port Melbourne
The Barak Beacon redevelopment replaces 89 former social homes with 408 modern, energy-efficient dwellings. The project delivers a mix of social, affordable, market rental, and specialist disability accommodation (SDA), resulting in a 46% uplift in social housing. Designed to achieve a 7-star NatHERS average rating, the precinct includes a new civic park, community gardens, a children's playspace, a multipurpose community room, and space for a social enterprise cafe.
Newport Level Crossing Removal - Maddox Road and Champion Road
Level Crossing Removal Project removing the Maddox Road and Champion Road level crossings by constructing new rail bridges over Maddox Road, permanently closing Champion Road at the rail line, extending Akuna Drive to create a new road connection, and delivering a new pedestrian and cycling bridge. Passenger rail bridges are complete, the final freight rail bridge is under construction, and the project remains on track for completion in late 2026.
Johnston Street Apartments
A significant residential development project aimed at providing 180 affordable and social housing units. The project features sustainable design elements including high-performance glazing, solar arrays, and extensive communal green spaces. It is designed to meet high environmental standards while addressing the critical need for social housing in the Port Melbourne precinct.
University of Melbourne Fishermans Bend Campus
The University of Melbourne owns a 7.2 hectare Fishermans Bend site for a proposed engineering, advanced manufacturing and design campus within the Victorian Government's Innovation Precinct. The campus was planned to include industrial scale education, research, fabrication, testing and prototyping facilities, but in September 2025 the University paused work on the campus and said the project will be reassessed as part of its next 10 year strategy from 2030.
Newport Structure Plan Implementation (Amendment C133hbay)
Implementation of the Newport Structure Plan through Planning Scheme Amendment C133hbay, introducing new local policy, zones, overlays, and heritage protections across the Newport Neighbourhood Activity Centre. The amendment introduces new residential zones (RGZ, GRZ3, NRZ3, NRZ5), Design and Development Overlays (DDO6, DDO7, DDO12, DDO18), updated Heritage Overlays protecting an additional 156 properties, and a new Mason Street Ecclesiastical and Residential Heritage Precinct (HO322). The Minister for Planning approved the amendment, with notice published in the Victorian Government Gazette on 11 February 2026, bringing the changes into effect.
Wirraway Central
Major mixed-use proposal in the Wirraway precinct of Fishermans Bend for the redevelopment of 18-22 Salmon Street. The called-in planning proposal comprised demolition of existing industrial buildings and construction of multi-storey mixed-use towers with 362 dwellings, affordable housing, supermarkets, shops, offices, community uses and basement car parking. The ministerial permit register records the responsible authority decision as withdrawn in July 2023, so the project is best treated as in planning rather than approved or under construction.
10,825 residents of Port Melbourne are employed, from a labour force of 11,323. Unemployment sits at 4.4%, with participation at 70.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 28,369, about 155% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Port Melbourne maintains a highly qualified resident labor pool, marked by an outsized presence in technology roles, a 4.4% unemployment rate, and a 1.6% rise in estimated employment over the preceding twelve months according to AreaSearch statistical aggregates. March 2026 records show 10,825 working residents, an unemployment figure 0.4% lower than the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%, and a participation rate aligned with the broader metropolitan figure of 70.1%. While Census findings revealed that 50.7% of local workers performed their duties from home, this metric reflects the presence of Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
Local workers are primarily employed across professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and finance & insurance. Specialization in professional & technical fields is especially pronounced, tracking at 1.6 times regional averages. In contrast, health care & social assistance engages 10.3% of the resident workforce, trailing the regional share of 14.2%. Registering 1.7 jobs for every resident worker at the Census, the precinct serves as a major commercial center that draws in substantial commuter inflows from surrounding districts. Analysis of ABS and SALM figures aggregated by AreaSearch indicates that both employment and total labor force expanded by 1.6% in the year leading to March 2026, holding the unemployment rate steady. By comparison, Greater Melbourne saw jobs grow by 2.1%, the workforce expand by 2.3%, and unemployment climb by 0.2 percentage points. Longer-term hiring outlooks can be gauged via Jobs and Skills Australia projections from Mar-26. Projected nationwide growth stands at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector-level performance varies. Weighting these projections against Port Melbourne's existing industry distribution suggests local job expansion of 7.0% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, noting that this simple illustrative weighting excludes local population dynamics.

Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
ATO postcode-level statistics for financial year 2023 position Port Melbourne among the highest income percentiles across the country, showing a median income of $75,353 alongside an average of $112,559. These levels substantially outpace Greater Melbourne, which recorded a median of $57,688 and an average of $75,164.

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 — 363 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (17,633 at the 2021 Census → 18,322 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 (SAL22107). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
