DemographicsPopulation Growth in Tamborine

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Tamborine has an estimated 4,691 residents, up from 4,388 at the 2021 Census — a change of 303 people, or 6.9%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 58.0% of that increase. Density is about 66 people per 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 analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census Tamborine's population is estimated at around 4,691 as of Aug 26. This reflects an increase of 303 people (6.9%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,388 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 4,618, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 4 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 65 persons per square kilometer, providing significant space per person and potential room for further development.

Over the past decade, Tamborine has demonstrated resilient growth patterns with a 1.5% compound annual growth rate, outpacing the Rest of Qld. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by interstate migration that contributed approximately 57.99999999999999% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including overseas migration and natural growth were positive factors. Projections for each SA2 region rely primarily on 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia datasets using 2022 as their foundation year. For intervals past 2032 or locations outside that scope, 2023 Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts based on 2021 benchmarks are used. Because these state figures omit demographic age breakdowns, proportional adjustments aligning with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (utilising 2022 data) are applied to individual age bands. Looking ahead, the suburb of Tamborine is slated for above-median expansion relative to Australian statistical areas, with combined SA2 models anticipating a rise of 753 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 14.5% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Tamborine

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

53 new dwellings have been approved in Tamborine over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That places the area in the 53rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, broadly in line with 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

Statistical building consent figures tracked by AreaSearch show that Tamborine averages approximately 10 residential approvals annually, yielding an estimated 53 dwellings across the last 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 10 approvals have been recorded. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the local influx averaged 4 people per year for every home constructed, creating a scenario where building rates trail incoming demand, a dynamic that typically fosters buyer competition and elevates pricing. Newly approved residential dwellings carry an average construction cost of $424,000, sitting beneath regional norms and highlighting relatively accessible building costs.

Concurrently, commercial approvals stand at $40,000 for the current financial year, pointing to quiet non-residential building conditions. Standalone houses constitute 91.0% of recent construction consents, with townhouses or apartments making up the remaining 9.0%, reinforcing the locality's low-density layout and emphasis on spacious family properties. With approximately 287 people per dwelling approval, the market displays ongoing expansion. Based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projections, Tamborine is expected to add 680 residents leading up to 2041. Should residential construction continue at prevailing speeds, additions to the housing stock could fall short of resident inflows, strengthening price dynamics and intensifying buyer interest.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Tamborine

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,804, about 81% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in.

Construction represents a major local specialty, commanding an employment share 1.8 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for 11.1% of local workers compared to 16.1% across Regional Qld, reflecting lower local concentration.

Across Regional Qld, employment edged up 0.1%, the labour force expanded 0.3%, and unemployment climbed 0.1 percentage points. National outlooks published in Mar-26 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on forthcoming workforce demand. Across the country, job numbers are projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories differ across individual sectors. Applying these sectoral paths to the local industry base suggests employment in Tamborine could rise by 6.1% across five years and 12.7% across ten years, representing a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes that excludes localised demographic 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 — 4 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,388 at the 2021 Census → 4,691 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 (SAL32731). 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 Tamborine 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 Tamborine 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 Tamborine 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 (Aug 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.
