Sinnamon Park

Sinnamon Park is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

As per AreaSearch's analysis of ABS population updates and new addresses validated by them, the estimated population of Sinnamon Park as of February 2026 is approximately 6,681. This figure represents an increase of 91 individuals (1.4%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 6,590 people. This inference is based on AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 6,675 following their examination of the latest ERP data release by ABS in June 2024, along with an additional validated new address since the Census date. The population density ratio stands at 2,280 persons per square kilometer, surpassing the average across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Over the past decade, Sinnamon Park has exhibited a compound annual growth rate of 0.1%, outperforming its SA3 area. Overseas migration contributed approximately 54.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, driving primary growth in the suburb's population.

AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections from 2023, based on 2021 data, are utilized. However, these state projections lack age category splits; hence AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings aligned with ABS Greater Capital Region projections for each age cohort, released in 2023 and based on 2022 data. Future population projections indicate lower quartile growth, with the suburb expected to expand by 306 persons to reach a total of approximately 7,048 by 2041, reflecting an overall gain of 5.7% over the 17-year period.

The level of residential development activity in Sinnamon Park is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data, Sinnamon Park has seen approximately 13 new homes approved annually. Between FY-21 and FY-25, around 66 homes were approved, with an additional 2 approved so far in FY-26. Over the past five financial years, an average of 0.8 new residents per year arrived for each new home.

This indicates that new construction is meeting or exceeding demand, offering buyers more options and supporting population growth. The average expected construction cost value of new dwellings is $668,000, suggesting developers are focusing on the premium market with high-end developments. In FY-26, commercial approvals totalled $16.8 million, indicating steady commercial investment activity in the area. Compared to Greater Brisbane, Sinnamon Park has 114.0% more construction activity per person, providing greater choice for buyers. However, recent construction activity has eased slightly. This level is below the national average, suggesting the area's established nature and potential planning limitations. The current new development composition consists of 20.0% detached houses and 80.0% attached dwellings, representing a shift from the area's existing housing, which is currently 86.0% houses.

This trend indicates decreasing availability of developable sites and reflects changing lifestyles, as well as the need for more diverse and affordable housing options. Sinnamon Park has approximately 6720 people per dwelling approval, demonstrating an established market. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, the location is projected to gain 379 residents by 2041. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.
