Sales Detail
South Gladstone has an estimated 3,791 residents, up from 3,476 at the 2021 Census — a change of 315 people, or 9.1%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 61.0% of that increase. That puts 1,149 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
Based on demographic assessments of ABS regional updates and newly registered addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident count for the suburb of South Gladstone is projected to be approximately 3,791 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 315 residents (9.1%) compared to the 2021 Census, which registered 3,476 residents. This shift is calculated from the estimated resident count of 3,791, formulated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP data release combined with 10 validated new addresses added since the Census. This population level corresponds to a density of 1,148 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks recorded by AreaSearch.
The 9.1% population expansion of the suburb of South Gladstone since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA4 region (7.4%), positioning it as a local growth leader. The primary driver of these gains was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 61.0% of the overall population growth, though other sources such as natural increase and interstate migration also registered positive trends. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 zone, published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 zones lacking this coverage, and for the period after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are used. Because these state-level projections lack age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch distributes growth among age groups using proportions from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which use 2022 as their base. Looking forward, the suburb of South Gladstone is projected to experience population growth exceeding the national median for regional areas, with numbers set to rise by 477 residents by 2041 under combined SA2 estimates, representing a 12.6% expansion over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Residential construction in South Gladstone is very quiet, averaging 2 dwelling approvals per year, totaling 12 dwellings over the five-year timeframe. This minimal level of building reflects the rural character of the locality, where construction tends to be prompted by specific local housing requirements rather than general market demand. Because these approval counts are so small, annual percentage shifts and relative comparisons can fluctuate significantly due to individual projects. South Gladstone has much lower levels of building activity than the Rest of Qld, and construction rates also fall short of national averages.
Recent building approvals consist of 33.0% detached houses and 67.0% attached dwellings. This orientation toward higher-density options offers affordable points of entry and holds appeal for downsizers, real estate investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a distinct shift from the current housing stock, which consists of 64.0% houses, pointing to a decrease in available developable land alongside changing lifestyle needs and affordability pressures. A ratio of approximately 940 people for every single dwelling approval indicates a highly established housing market. Projections indicate that the suburb of South Gladstone will add 477 residents by 2041, according to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Given the current pace of construction, residential supply may struggle to keep up with this population growth, which could intensify competition among buyers and support upward price trends.

Terminal aligns with Queensland Ports Strategy and can expand on the existing site when demand supports it. Owned by Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal Pty Ltd (industry consortium).
Brookview Estate
Brookview Estate is a resort style master planned residential community in Glen Eden, Gladstone. Originally developed by Latitude Development Group as a gated community title estate, the project was planned for around 250 freehold home sites with staged land releases around a private residents club featuring pools, gym, function room, barbecue areas, playgrounds, landscaped parklands, walkways and cycleways. The original developer entered external administration and the balance of the estate land and recreation centre were sold to new owners from 2017 onward, but the subdivision, roads and lifestyle facilities are now in place and the area has matured into an established suburban neighbourhood with most lots built out and only infill housing occurring on remaining vacant sites.
Clinton Industrial Estate
Economic Development Queensland is constructing the Byelle Precinct at Clinton Industrial Estate, delivering 27 fully serviced medium-impact industrial lots ranging from about 4,000 sqm to 10,000 sqm. Civil works including roads, kerbing, services, lighting and landscaping are progressing, with land release expected in late 2026. The precinct is intended to support manufacturing, freight, logistics and advanced industry close to the Port of Gladstone.
Riverstone Rise
Gladstone first truly masterplanned community spanning 496 hectares along the Boyne River. The development includes 2,900 homes for over 7,500 residents, educational facilities including a primary school and childcare centre, retail and commercial town centre precinct, medical centre, and community facilities. It features 26 percent dedicated open space with 182 hectares of reserves, parks, and walking trails integrated with 4.2 kilometres of Boyne River frontage. Construction is active with the Corimba and Lilyvale Stage 4A releases progressing through 2026.
1,782 residents of South Gladstone are employed, from a labour force of 1,947. Unemployment sits at 8.5%, with participation at 63.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,320, about 88% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. 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 exhibits a strong profile in industrial and manufacturing fields, with an unemployment rate of 8.5% and steady job numbers over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. In March 2026, there were 1,782 residents employed, while the local unemployment rate stood 4.6% higher than the Regional Qld rate of 3.9%, highlighting potential for labor market improvements. Workforce participation is virtually identical to the Regional Qld rate of 64.3%. Census data indicates that a minor 4.3% of the working population operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.
Local employment is heavily weighted toward manufacturing, health care & social assistance, and construction. The community shows a distinct concentration in the manufacturing sector, where the employment proportion is 2.3 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance has a smaller footprint, employing 11.2% of workers compared to 16.1% across the region. The comparison between the resident workforce and local census employment data suggests this highly residential community has relatively few local job positions. Based on AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS data aggregated from surrounding statistical areas, the local labor force contracted by 5.5% and total employment dipped by 0.2% during the year leading to March 2026, which brought about a decrease in the unemployment rate of 4.9 percentage points. Over the same period in Regional Qld, employment rose by 0.1%, the workforce grew by 0.3%, and unemployment ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective employment trends. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future patterns. Although national employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against the local employment profile suggests employment in South Gladstone will grow by 5.5% over five years and 12.1% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection for illustration that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 10 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,476 at the 2021 Census → 3,791 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.
