Detail

As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Rosanna is estimated to have a population of approximately 9,037, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census address validations. This represents a gain of 421 people (4.9%) compared to the 8,616 residents recorded in the 2021 Census.

The local 4.9% expansion rate since the Census sits within 0.7 percentage points of the broader SA3 benchmark (5.6%), reflecting solid momentum underpinned almost entirely by overseas migration in recent times. Long-term demographic modelling by AreaSearch draws upon 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia projections pegged to a 2022 baseline, supplemented where needed by 2023 Victorian State Government LGA-level forecasts converted via weighted aggregation to SA2 boundaries. Age-cohort growth trends derived from this approach extend across the 2032 to 2041 horizon. Looking ahead, the suburb of Rosanna is slated for extraordinary demographic expansion that ranks in the top 10 percent of statistical areas across Australia, with projections indicating an influx of 4,112 persons by 2041 at the aggregated SA2 level—a 16-year surge of 45.0%.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Rosanna

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

208 new dwellings have been approved in Rosanna over the past five years, an average of 41 a year. That is 4.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 41 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 24% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 55, running ahead of 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 indicates that Rosanna maintains an average of roughly 41 residential permits per year, totaling approximately 208 approved dwellings across the 5 financial years from FY-21 through FY-25, alongside 55 approvals recorded to date in FY-25. Because recent population levels contracted, local housing supply has comfortably met demand to preserve a balanced environment with broad options for purchasers, while newly approved dwellings reflect an average construction value of $528,000. Additionally, commercial development approvals have reached $20.2 million during this financial year, demonstrating ongoing non-residential investment. Per capita residential approvals in Rosanna track at roughly two-thirds of the Greater Melbourne benchmark, ranking the locality in the 69th percentile nationwide.

Medium-to-high density housing leads recent development activity, with attached dwellings making up 76.0% of approvals versus 24.0% for detached houses. This orientation toward higher-density formats creates more attainable pricing for downsizers, entry-level buyers, and investors—a notable departure from the established neighborhood structure where standalone houses account for 81.0%. This transition highlights site constraints while addressing evolving affordability and lifestyle preferences, with approximately 179 people per dwelling approval reflecting lower-density urban attributes. Projections indicate that Rosanna will expand by 4,071 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly figures from AreaSearch. If residential building activity stays at its current pace, additions to the dwelling stock may fail to keep up with demographic growth, potentially heightening competition among buyers and placing upward pressure on home values.

Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 10 applications for Rosanna, but they are a record of past activity rather than a current register. Victoria has no state-wide planning portal and its council coverage is uneven, so we have switched the search off here rather than return partial answers. We are currently investigating a solution. No credits are charged for Victorian applications, and building approvals from the ABS and the major projects we track are unaffected.

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 — 112 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,616 at the 2021 Census → 9,037 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 (SAL22194). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Rosanna suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Rosanna page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Rosanna data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
