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
Robina has an estimated 28,284 residents, up from 25,659 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,625 people, or 10.2%. Growth has averaged 1.7% a year over five years. 283 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 87.0% of that increase. That puts 1,891 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population revisions and new addresses validated post-Census, the suburb of Robina is home to an estimated 28,284 people as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 2,625 people (10.2%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 25,659 people. This upward trend stems from an Estimated Resident Population of 28,033 calculated by AreaSearch following the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 283 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. With 1,890 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Robina records a population density higher than the national benchmark across assessed markets.
Its 10.2% expansion since the 2021 census outpaced both the broader SA3 area (8.5%) and the Rest of Qld, establishing the suburb of Robina as a regional growth outperformer. Overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating approximately 87.0% of recent population gains. Projections for the suburb of Robina draw upon 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 figures pegged to a 2022 base year, supplemented by 2023 Queensland State Government projections (using 2021 base data) for post-2032 periods and non-covered areas. Because state figures omit cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional distribution models aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (2022 base data) to project age segments. Looking forward, the suburb of Robina is slated to sit in the highest quartile among non-metropolitan Australian regions for expansion, with aggregate SA2 modeling pointing to a rise of 7,491 persons by 2041, representing total 16-year growth of 25.6%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
469 new dwellings have been approved in Robina over the past five years, an average of 93 a year. That places the area in the 82nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 76 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 4% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 22, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals across statistical boundaries indicates Robina has generated an annual average of around 93 residential dwelling approvals, delivering an estimated 469 homes throughout the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 22 approvals have been catalogued. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 5.9 people arrived per newly constructed home each year, creating an environment where demand significantly outstrips new residential delivery and typically stimulates competitive bidding and price escalation. New dwellings carry an average construction value of $642,000, tracking above regional norms and pointing to higher-specification builds.
In addition, commercial construction approvals have reached $93.9 million in the current financial year, highlighting strong non-residential investment. Per capita building volumes in Robina track at approximately 75% of the Rest of Qld benchmark, placing the suburb at the 50th percentile among nationally tracked locations. This below-average performance relative to the nationwide standard underscores the established fabric of the area and points toward potential town planning constraints. Current residential construction consists of 4.0% standalone houses and 96.0% medium and high-density formats. This structural shift toward higher-density stock offers relatively accessible price thresholds for first-time purchasers, downsizers, and property investors, marking a clear pivot away from the historical footprint of 55.0% houses as residential land supply tightens and demographic preferences adjust. The locality currently averages approximately 298 people per dwelling approval, leaving capacity for future development. Based on latest quarterly modeling from AreaSearch, Robina is projected to add 7,240 residents by 2041. Should residential construction continue at current paces, housing completions may fall short of demographic expansion, likely intensifying buyer competition and reinforcing upward pressure on local property values.

15,753 residents of Robina are employed, from a labour force of 16,135. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 67.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Robina features a highly educated labor pool and strong representation across essential services industries, paired with an unemployment rate of just 2.4% and an estimated 3.4% annual employment expansion according to aggregated statistical figures. By March 2026, 15,753 local residents were actively employed. The local unemployment figure sits 1.5% beneath the 3.9% observed across Regional Qld, while labor force participation matches broader norms at 67.4% against 64.2% regionally. As recorded in the Census, 17.1% of employed locals worked remotely, though this reflects the context of Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment fields for local residents comprise health care & social assistance, retail trade, along with education & training.
Professional & technical services shows significant concentration, with local participation levels sitting at 1.6 times the regional norm. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for a minimal share, employing only 0.3% of the local workforce relative to 4.5% across Regional Qld. A ratio of 0.7 jobs per resident at the Census confirms local employment generation above standard benchmarks. Review of SALM and ABS statistical metrics shows that in the year leading to March 2026, local employment expanded by 3.4% alongside a 3.3% rise in the active workforce, keeping the jobless rate essentially unchanged. Over the same timeline, Regional Qld saw 0.1% employment growth, a 0.3% increase in the labor supply, and a 0.1 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National outlook projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on future workforce needs. Nationally, overall jobs are projected to rise 6.6% over five years and 13.7% across ten years, though sector trajectories vary. Applying these industry weighting metrics to the local occupational mix projects employment expansion of 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (representing a baseline extrapolation that excludes localized population modeling).

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 — 283 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (25,659 at the 2021 Census → 28,284 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.
