Sales Detail
Templestowe has an estimated 17,464 residents, up from 16,966 at the 2021 Census — a change of 498 people, or 2.9%. That puts 1,083 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
In the suburb of Templestowe, demographic tracking combining broader regional ABS releases and AreaSearch validated address counts places the resident count at roughly 17,464 as of Aug 2026. This equates to an expansion of 498 people (2.9%) compared to the 16,966 people recorded in the 2021 Census. AreaSearch established this figure by building upon the June 2025 ABS ERP estimate of 17,442 residents and factoring in 95 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Settlement density stands at 1,083 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch locations.
Inbound overseas migration served as practically the exclusive contributor to these recent population additions. Projections for each SA2 area utilize ABS/Geoscience Australia models issued in 2024 (anchored to 2022), while locations lacking this coverage rely on 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections converted via weighted LGA-to-SA2 aggregations. These synthesized growth rates across age brackets are likewise applied to all locations for the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking ahead, population growth in the suburb of Templestowe is projected to sit marginally beneath the national median, with aggregated SA2 modeling anticipating an addition of 1,282 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 7.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
271 new dwellings have been approved in Templestowe over the past five years, an average of 54 a year. That is 3.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 53 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 36% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 44, 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
ABS residential building approvals compiled by AreaSearch show that approximately 54 dwellings receive planning approval per year in Templestowe, totaling an estimated 271 homes over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, alongside 44 approved to date in FY-25. Given recent population contractions, this addition of new housing has matched local demand well and maintained ample choice for purchasers, with builders focusing on upscale offerings given an average construction value of $1,300,000. In addition, $17.3 million worth of commercial approvals during the current financial year indicates steady non-residential development.
Per capita building approvals in Templestowe are roughly half the volume recorded across Greater Melbourne, placing the suburb in the 36th percentile nationally, a constrained supply dynamic that restricts buyer selection and underpins demand for established homes. This below-average activity reflects both neighborhood maturity and possible planning constraints. Of all new residential approvals, detached houses comprise 36.0% while attached residences account for 64.0%. This shift toward medium and higher-density living offers accessible price points for downsizers, first-home purchasers, and investors. It also represents a major shift from the prevailing dwelling base (which stands at 78.0% houses), highlighting shrinking land availability along with evolving lifestyle and budgetary demands. A ratio of around 421 people per approval underscores the established character of the local market. Latest quarterly projections from AreaSearch indicate Templestowe will add 1,260 residents through to 2041. Under prevailing construction activity, residential additions are poised to satisfy incoming demand with ease, creating favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling growth that exceeds current population expectations.

8,762 residents of Templestowe are employed, from a labour force of 9,155. Unemployment sits at 4.3%, with participation at 62.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 14,371, about 82% 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
AreaSearch data aggregations indicate that Templestowe features a highly skilled labor force characterized by significant professional services participation, a 4.3% unemployment rate, and a 2.0% annual lift in employment. By March 2026, employed residents reached 8,762, and the unemployment rate was 0.5% lower than the Greater Melbourne figure of 4.8%, although labor force participation was notably lower at 62.2% compared to 70.1% across Greater Melbourne. Census figures also revealed that 37.1% of workers carried out their duties from home, a metric influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. The primary sectors employing local residents include health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and retail trade.
The locality displays particular depth in professional & technical services, generating an employment concentration 1.3 times the wider regional benchmark. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing represents only 3.1% of local employment, trailing the 5.2% share seen across Greater Melbourne. Comparing resident numbers to Census employment counts indicates that this predominantly residential suburb provides relatively few jobs within its own borders. Synthesized ABS and SALM figures show that in the twelve months leading to March 2026, local employment expanded by 2.0% while the labor force grew by 2.6%, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Melbourne recorded employment growth of 2.1%, labor force expansion of 2.3%, and a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-term outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide further context regarding prospective labor requirements in Templestowe. When mapped against the local workforce structure, these five- and ten-year projections provide modeled trajectories. While national headcount is expected to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, individual sectors vary widely. Applying these sectoral trajectories to the suburb's existing industry distribution implies potential local employment gains of 7.0% over five years and 14.1% over ten years (representing a baseline weighted calculation that excludes local demographic 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 — 95 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (16,966 at the 2021 Census → 17,464 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 (SAL22483). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
