Sales Detail
Rosanna has an estimated 9,015 residents, up from 8,616 at the 2021 Census — a change of 399 people, or 4.6%. 102 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 2,652 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 investigations of ABS demographic updates for the wider region, alongside recent address points verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident count of the suburb of Rosanna is projected to be approximately 9,015 in May 2026. This indicates a rise of 399 residents (4.6%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 8,616 individuals. The variance is calculated from the resident base of 8,996, calculated by AreaSearch through analysis of the most recent ERP release from the ABS (June 2025) plus an extra 102 validated new addresses following the Census.
This population level corresponds to a density of 2,651 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of national areas analyzed by AreaSearch. The 4.6% expansion since the census puts the suburb of Rosanna within 0.9 percentage points of the surrounding SA3 region (5.5%), demonstrating strong growth indicators. Demographic gains in the area were mostly generated by arrivals from overseas, which functioned as the sole source of population increases in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the base year. In instances where SA2 regions lack this coverage, AreaSearch uses VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections from 2023, modifying them via weighted aggregation of population increases from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. Age group growth trajectories from these aggregations are also projected across all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated demographic shifts, rapid growth ranking in the top 10 percent of countrywide statistical locations is forecast for the timeframe, with the suburb of Rosanna expected to expand by 4,186 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing an increase of 46.2% overall throughout the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
231 new dwellings have been approved in Rosanna over the past five years, an average of 46 a year. That is 5.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 44 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 27% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 56, 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
Based on AreaSearch assessments of building approvals from the ABS, mapped from local statistical boundaries, the suburb has averaged approximately 46 home approvals annually, with an estimated 231 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 52 during the current FY-26. While the resident count has contracted in recent times, building activity has remained sufficient in relative terms, presenting a benefit for buyers, while new residences carry an average construction value of $465,000—slightly above regional baselines—signaling a focus on quality. Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $20.2 million have been logged this financial year, pointing to consistent business investment.
Relative to Greater Melbourne, the suburb registers roughly three-quarters of the per-capita residential construction activity, ranking in the 54th percentile of localities nationwide. Recent building records show 27.0% detached houses and 73.0% townhouses or apartments. This pivot toward denser housing formats provides more budget-friendly paths into the market, catering to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a clear shift from the current housing landscape (where houses make up 81.0%), pointing to limited vacant land and reacting to changing lifestyles and affordability pressures. Recording approximately 296 people for every approved dwelling, the area exhibits low-density attributes. Looking forward, the local population is expected to rise by 4,167 individuals by 2041 (using the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch). Should construction continue at its current pace, the supply of homes may fall behind population gains, potentially intensifying buyer competition and driving upward pressure on prices.

Manningham Road Interchange
A major new interchange in Bulleen forming part of the North East Link tunnels project. The interchange features a simplified design with entry and exit ramps that will redirect 14,700 vehicles each day from Bulleen Road into the tunnel system, returning local roads to the community while preserving the historic River Red Gum on Bridge Street. As of May 2026, the Spark Joint Venture team has completed the final base slab pour on the northbound ramp (using 272 tonnes of reinforcement steel and 956 cubic metres of concrete), with the final plenum slab pour on the southbound ramp also complete.Crews are progressing 24/7 tunnel ramp excavation and have assembled the 550 tonne gantry crane to retrieve the Tunnel Boring Machines. Eastbound traffic was successfully shifted onto new permanent Manningham Road lanes in late January 2026, and a Longitudinal Egress Passage precast panel will be installed before the northbound ramp opens to construction crews. The interchange will connect the Manningham Cut and Cover box to the SEM tunnel and is scheduled to open with the broader North East Link in 2028.
Lower Plenty Road, Rosanna Level Crossing Removal and Rosanna Station Upgrade
Removal of the level crossing at Lower Plenty Road in Rosanna by building an elevated rail bridge over the road, and delivery of a new elevated Rosanna Station and upgraded station precinct as part of the Hurstbridge Line Upgrade Stage 1.

5,040 residents of Rosanna are employed, from a labour force of 5,176. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 69.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% 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
The local workforce is highly qualified, with a prominent share of professionals, a low unemployment rate of 2.6%, and annual job growth estimated at 1.7% based on AreaSearch compilations of statistical data. In March 2026, 5,040 locals were employed, and the unemployment rate was 2.2% lower than the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%, while participation in the labor force closely matched the metropolitan average of 70.2%. Census details show a high proportion of 45.4% of employed residents working from home, though this may reflect the influence of pandemic lockdowns. The principal employment fields for local workers are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training.
The community shows a specific concentration in professional & technical fields, representing a share 1.3 times the regional average. In contrast, construction workers are less represented at 7.2% of the workforce, compared to the wider metropolitan level of 9.7%. Although there are local employment options, a comparison of the local jobs count against the resident working population suggests that a substantial number of workers travel outside the area for work. AreaSearch calculations using SALM and ABS sources for the surrounding region show that the 12-month period experienced an employment expansion of 1.7% alongside a labor force increase of 2.4%, which raised the unemployment rate by 0.6 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne saw jobs grow by 2.1% and the labor force by 2.3%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point rise. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on expected demand. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future patterns. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but individual sectors show highly varied growth rates. Projecting these industry trends onto the local workforce indicates that employment within the area would increase by 7.1% over five years and 14.5% over ten years (representing a basic weighted translation for comparison purposes, without adjusting for localized population shifts).

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 — 102 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,616 at the 2021 Census → 9,015 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.
