Sales Detail
Southside has an estimated 7,573 residents, up from 6,312 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,261 people, or 20.0%. Growth has averaged 3.9% a year over five years, faster than 90% of areas nationally. 493 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 82.0% of that increase. That puts 406 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
Drawing on ABS demographic revisions for the surrounding region alongside recent address counts verified by AreaSearch since the Census, Southside's current population is projected to be approximately 7,573 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,261 people (20.0%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 6,312 people. The calculation is based on a resident population of 7,541 estimated by AreaSearch using the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) plus an additional 493 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population size corresponds to a density of 406 persons per square kilometer, indicating substantial area per resident and capacity for upcoming expansion.
The 20.0% growth rate of Southside since the 2021 census outpaced the Rest of Qld (9.2%) and the national average, placing it among the region's leading growth areas. Population expansion was chiefly propelled by arrivals from other states, who made up about 82.0% of the overall population increases lately, although all growth components including international migration and natural increase remained positive. AreaSearch utilises projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 zones, published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 zones lacking this coverage, and for any years beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are used. Note that these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age; consequently, in these instances, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using weightings derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data). Factoring in these expected demographic shifts, population growth is anticipated to sit slightly below the midpoint of Australian regional areas, with the locality projected to add 810 residents by 2041 based on consolidated SA2 projections, representing a total increase of 10.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
735 new dwellings have been approved in Southside over the past five years, an average of 147 a year. That places the area in the 91st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 19 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 164 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 82% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 69, 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approval statistics compiled from statistical area levels, Southside has maintained an annual average of about 147 new residential approvals, with approximately 735 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 64 added during the current FY-26. Given that an average of 1.8 individuals moved to the district for every home constructed during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the relationship between supply and demand seems balanced, supporting steady market conditions, with new dwellings being established at an average construction value of $355,000.
Furthermore, $1.8 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, indicating a heavy emphasis on residential development. Compared against the Rest of Qld, Southside registers 146.0% more new residential approvals (per capita), giving purchasers a wider selection. This metric is significantly higher than the country's average, demonstrating solid developer interest in the locality. Recent building construction consists of 82.0% separate houses and 18.0% semi-detached properties or units, preserving the established low-density aesthetic of the area with a preference for family dwellings that appeal to buyers wanting space. With approximately 42 people for each approval, Southside exhibits the characteristics of a growing district. Demographic forecasts suggest Southside will add 778 residents by 2041 (calculated from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). Under ongoing building trends, the supply of new housing is expected to easily satisfy demand, maintaining favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially supporting population growth that outstrips current forecasts.

Cooroy To Curra - Section D - Southern Contract
Section D involves building a 26-km four-lane bypass around Gympie, finishing the Bruce Highway's 62-km upgrade from Cooroy to Curra. It's split into two, with the Southern Contract covering Woondum to north of Sandy Creek Road.
3,328 residents of Southside are employed, from a labour force of 3,455. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 54.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 6,137, about 81% 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
Southside possesses a balanced labor force consisting of white-collar and blue-collar workers, with strong representation in public service sectors, a jobless rate of just 3.7%, and an estimated job growth rate of 6.4% over the preceding year, as compiled by AreaSearch from statistical area data. In March 2026, 3,328 local residents were employed, and the unemployment rate was 0.2% lower than the Regional Qld level of 3.9%, though the rate of participation in the workforce is considerably lower (54.9% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld). Census returns indicate that a minor 5.4% of workers operated from home, though the influence of COVID-19 restriction periods should be taken into account.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The community displays a particularly strong concentration in the manufacturing sector, where employment is 1.9 times the regional average. Conversely, mining is poorly represented, accounting for only 2.1% of the workforce in Southside compared to 3.6% in Regional Qld. This residential enclave appears to provide few local employment options, as shown by comparing the count of census employees to the resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from regional levels, over the 12 months ending March 2026, the count of employed persons grew by 6.4% while the overall labor force expanded by 5.0%, causing the unemployment rate to drop by 1.2 percentage points. Meanwhile, Regional Qld saw employment grow by 0.1% and the labor force expand by 0.3%, leading to a 0.1 percentage point increase. The national occupational forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context regarding future demand trends in Southside. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project future growth patterns. Although overall Australian employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expected growth rates vary widely by sector. Applying these industry projections to the employment profile of Southside indicates that local jobs should grow by 5.9% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (note that this is a simple weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate local population forecasts).

Frequently Asked Questions - Diversity
The median resident of Southside is 45, older than 82% of areas nationally. That is 1 year younger than at the 2021 Census. 24.6% of residents are aged 15 to 34. Age cohorts are not raw Census counts: the Census split is re-based to the latest ABS population estimates and state projections.
Detail
With a median age of 45, Southside is significantly older than the Regional Qld average of 41 and well above the national median of 38. The age distribution shows that residents aged 75 - 84 are highly represented (9.4%), whereas the 35 - 44 cohort is relatively small (10.7%) compared to the wider Regional Qld. Since the 2021 Census, the proportion of residents aged 25 to 34 expanded from 10.3% to 12.1%, and the 0 to 4 group grew from 4.7% to 5.8%.

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 — 493 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,312 at the 2021 Census → 7,573 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL32612). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
