Sales Detail
Wallan has an estimated 17,542 residents, up from 15,004 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,538 people, or 16.9%. Growth has averaged 2.7% a year over five years, faster than 87% of areas nationally. 1,005 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 71.0% of that increase. That puts 252 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Wallan has an estimated population of approximately 17,542, determined through AreaSearch analysis of broader ABS population releases alongside post-Census validated address counts. This represents an expansion of 2,538 residents (16.9%) compared to the 15,004 individuals documented in the 2021 Census. Such growth draws on an estimated resident population of 16,368 calculated from the ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus 1,005 post-Census validated addresses. With a density of 252 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Wallan offers generous living space and considerable capacity for future expansion.
Outpacing both the broader state figure (9.5%) and national benchmarks, the suburb of Wallan's 16.9% expansion establishes it among the primary regional growth centers. While natural increases and overseas arrivals contributed positively, interstate relocations served as the primary catalyst, generating roughly 71.0% of recent population additions. Projections for the suburb of Wallan incorporate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset using 2022 as a starting point, supplemented where necessary by 2023 VIC State Government LGA projections aggregated to SA2 boundaries via weighted methodologies. In addition, aggregated age-specific growth trajectories are applied across 2032 to 2041. Over the 16 years running to 2041, the suburb of Wallan is anticipated to experience exceptional expansion that ranks within the top 10 percent of statistical regions across the country, adding 13,764 residents for an overall rise of 71.8% according to aggregated SA2 modelling.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
820 new dwellings have been approved in Wallan over the past five years, an average of 164 a year. That places the area in the 93rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 169 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 177, 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
Over the preceding 5 financial years, residential planning approvals in Wallan averaged approximately 164 units annually, accumulating to an estimated 820 approved dwellings. Year-to-date figures for FY-25 indicate 177 approvals have already been granted. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 2.4 additional residents per dwelling each year underscored steady demand helping underpin property values, while the average construction value per new home stood at $367,000—a figure lower than regional benchmarks that points to relatively economical building costs. Meanwhile, non-residential construction interest has remained subdued, with commercial approvals totalling $6.4 million during the current financial year.
Per capita building approval volume in Wallan sits 19.0% below Greater Melbourne levels, yet places in the 88th percentile across Australia, demonstrating elevated nationwide momentum and substantial builder confidence. Residential construction remains heavily skewed toward standalone houses at 93.0%, with apartments or townhouses accounting for just 7.0%, thereby preserving the low-density neighbourhood environment favored by family buyers seeking room to move. A ratio of roughly 85 persons per approved dwelling further highlights Wallan's status as an expanding growth district. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Wallan is projected to welcome 12,590 additional residents through to 2041. Should building rates stay at current levels, the volume of incoming housing may fall short of demographic expansion, a dynamic that could intensify buyer competition and reinforce upward pressure on property prices.

Mitchell Shire Council approved the planning permit in May 2025 and construction is now underway, with the store targeted to open in the second half of 2026. The development will be the first supermarket in Beveridge, providing residents with convenient access to groceries and everyday essentials in the rapidly growing community.
Lyra Local Convenience Centre
Proposed 9,432 sqm mixed-use local convenience centre within Stockland's Lyra masterplanned community. The site is planned to accommodate a supermarket, childcare, medical services, quick service retail and specialty shops serving around 1,400 homes in the Lyra estate and the wider Beveridge growth corridor. As of 2026 the site has been marketed for sale as a fully serviced, development-ready opportunity, with an end developer or retail operator yet to be secured.
6,731 residents of Wallan are employed, from a labour force of 7,239. Unemployment sits at 7.0%, with participation at 58.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% 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 14,385, 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
Wallan possesses a capable labour pool characterized by high concentration in building trades, alongside an overall jobless rate of 7.0% according to statistical area aggregations by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed locals numbered 6,731, with local unemployment sitting 2.3% above the 4.8% recorded across Greater Melbourne, while the participation rate of 58.6% trailed the regional figure of 70.1%. Census records indicated that 17.4% of working residents carried out their duties from home, though this coincided with the influence of Covid-19 restrictions. The primary sources of local employment include the construction sector, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing.
Construction is particularly prominent, engaging a share of workers 1.6 times greater than the broader metropolitan benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical roles represent a modest 4.3% of the local workforce compared to 10.1% across the wider region. Comparing local resident numbers to workplace destination data from the Census suggests that local employment openings within the immediate area remain relatively limited. During the year to March 2026, AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, drawn from broader statistical regions, showed a 6.7% decline in the labour force alongside a 9.3% drop in employment, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 2.7 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Melbourne experienced employment growth of 2.1% and labour force growth of 2.3%, with unemployment increasing by only 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional perspective on future demand in Wallan. These forecasts span five and ten-year intervals and have been overlaid with Wallan's local employment structure to project growth trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral growth varies considerably. When these industry-specific estimates are applied to Wallan's employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 6.1% over five years and 12.7% over ten years, noting that this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative use and 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 — 1,005 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (15,004 at the 2021 Census → 17,542 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 (SAL22661). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
