Sunrise Beach has an estimated 4,018 residents, up from 3,687 at the 2021 Census — a change of 331 people, or 9.0%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 82.0% of that increase. That puts 1,614 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 AreaSearch evaluations combining regional ABS demographic updates with post-Census address validations, the suburb of Sunrise Beach is home to an estimated 4,018 residents as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 331 residents (9.0%) relative to the 3,687 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. The updated calculation stems from an estimated resident base of 4,016 determined from the ABS ERP release in June 2025 alongside 9 post-Census validated new addresses. Based on this tally, the suburb of Sunrise Beach records a density of 1,613 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the nationwide benchmark established across AreaSearch study areas.
Furthermore, the 9.0% expansion recorded since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 benchmark of 6.1%, establishing the suburb of Sunrise Beach as an area growth frontrunner. Incoming overseas migration served as the primary growth engine, delivering approximately 82.0% of total demographic additions in recent times, supplemented by positive inflows from natural increase and interstate moves. Projections for the suburb of Sunrise Beach incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling anchored to 2022 baseline statistics. For locations lacking this coverage as well as time horizons beyond 2032, figures reference Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts issued in 2023 utilizing 2021 benchmarks. Because these state figures omit age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch applies cohort weightings aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (anchored to 2022 figures). Moving forward, demographic gains for the suburb of Sunrise Beach are projected to track in the lower quartile for regional non-capital settings, with combined SA2 models indicating an increase of 133 persons by 2041, which corresponds to an overall gain of 3.3% across the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
131 new dwellings have been approved in Sunrise Beach over the past five years, an average of 26 a year. That places the area in the 62nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 27 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 63% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals across local statistical boundaries reveals that Sunrise Beach has maintained an annual average of approximately 26 residential approvals, generating an estimated total of 131 dwellings across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 12 approvals have been lodged. Residential development patterns show approximately 2 incoming persons per newly authorized residence between FY-21 and FY-25, highlighting solid buyer demand that supports local real estate valuations. Furthermore, construction activity is oriented toward the luxury segment, with approved dwellings carrying an average construction cost of $2,085,000.
Non-residential development has remained largely subdued, with commercial building approvals amounting to $107,000 during the current financial year. Building activity in Sunrise Beach tracks 41.0% above the regional per capita benchmark across the 5 year timeframe, providing a healthy pipeline of residential options while maintaining existing market values relative to Rest of Qld. Recent residential authorizations consist of 63.0% detached homes alongside 37.0% medium-to-high density formats, delivering a diversified mix that spans standalone family residences and accessible, compact layouts. With approximately 136 people per dwelling approval, the neighborhood displays key hallmarks of an expanding residential precinct. Longer-term projections indicate that Sunrise Beach will add 131 residents up to 2041 according to recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Prevailing residential building volumes appear well-positioned to satisfy this projected demand, establishing supportive purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating population growth ahead of baseline expectations.

2,216 residents of Sunrise Beach are employed, from a labour force of 2,271. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 67.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,074, about 77% 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
Sunrise Beach features a highly qualified labor force with strong concentrations in hospitality and tourism, alongside an unemployment rate of only 2.4% according to aggregated statistical datasets compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, 2,216 local inhabitants were actively employed, while joblessness sat 1.5% beneath the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld. Labor participation remained steady at 67.9%, comparing favorably with the 64.2% figure for Regional Qld. Census records also indicate that 23.8% of workers were based at home, though this metric reflects conditions during Covid-19 restrictions. Local workers are primarily employed across accommodation & food, health care & social assistance, and construction.
Hospitality represents a notable local specialization, with accommodation & food generating an employment proportion 1.9 times the regional standard. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.4% of resident jobs, compared to 4.5% across the surrounding region. Comparisons between local resident numbers and Census workplace counts suggest that the neighborhood operates primarily as a residential catchment with modest internal job opportunities. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, during the year to March 2026, the labour force decreased by 2.3% alongside a 2.6% employment decline, causing unemployment to rise by 0.3 percentage points. By comparison, Regional Qld recorded employment growth of 0.1%, labour force growth of 0.3%, with unemployment rising 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Sunrise Beach. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Sunrise Beach's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.8% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

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 — 9 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,687 at the 2021 Census → 4,018 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 (SAL32697). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
