Sales Detail
Wandal has an estimated 4,098 residents, up from 3,949 at the 2021 Census — a change of 149 people, or 3.8%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. That puts 1,138 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 Wandal has an estimated population of around 4,098, determined through AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS updates alongside 19 validated new addresses logged since the Census. Compared to the 3,949 people recorded at the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 149 people (3.8%). AreaSearch established this resident count of 4,098 using the June 2025 ABS ERP release together with subsequent address additions. The suburb of Wandal exhibits a population density of 1,138 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks across AreaSearch locations.
While interstate migration and natural increase both contributed positively, overseas arrivals served as the primary growth catalyst, generating approximately 81.0% of recent population gains. Demographic modeling by AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 using 2022 as a base year. Where SA2 coverage is absent or for years post-2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are used. Because state datasets omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates cohort growth using proportional weightings from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 based on 2022 data. Future trajectories suggest the suburb of Wandal will experience lower quartile growth relative to national non-metropolitan benchmarks, expanding by 169 persons to 2041 under aggregated SA2 figures, which represents an overall increase of 4.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
39 new dwellings have been approved in Wandal over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 1.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, 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
An analysis of ABS building approvals mapped by AreaSearch indicates that Wandal averages around 7 residential approvals each year, totaling an estimated 39 approved dwellings over the past 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, including 4 recorded to date in FY-25. With an influx of 3.2 new residents per year per dwelling built over the past 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, local residential construction falls well short of demographic growth, creating heightened competition and upward pressure on prices. Expected construction costs for these new dwellings average $473,000, consistent with regional patterns.
Non-residential activity remains subdued, with commercial approvals totaling $414,000 this financial year. Per capita building activity in Wandal is notably restrained, sitting 53.0% below the regional benchmark for Rest of Qld and trailing national averages. Such limited building volume reflects the suburb's established urban fabric and potential planning limitations, which tends to reinforce demand and property values for existing housing stock. All new residential development has consisted of standalone houses, preserving traditional detached suburban housing that caters to families looking for space. With a ratio of around 817 people per approval, the locality exhibits the characteristics of a mature community. According to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, demographic projections anticipate Wandal adding 169 residents through to 2041. If ongoing construction volumes persist, anticipated housing additions should adequately satisfy residential demand, establishing favourable purchasing conditions and allowing for potential population growth beyond baseline expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Rockhampton Showgrounds Precinct Redevelopment
Master planning and long-term redevelopment of the Showgrounds and Victoria Park precinct to create a high-quality multi-purpose venue for exhibitions, events, community activities, and sporting facilities. The master planning process is to guide the staged development of the precinct over time and address constraints like parking and flooding.
Rocky Stadium at Victoria Park
The Rocky Stadium is a proposed 8,500-seat rectangular football stadium (expandable to 16,000) planned for Victoria Park in Wandal, adjacent to the Rocky Sports Club. While the project received a $23 million Federal funding commitment, it faces competition and shifting local priorities. As of 2026, Rockhampton Regional Council has pivoted its primary focus toward the Rockhampton Sports Precinct at CQUniversity and the $66 million redevelopment of Browne Park. Smaller-scale refurbishments at Victoria Park, such as tennis court upgrades, are proceeding via tender in 2026, but the major stadium proposal remains in the early proposed/planning stages without a confirmed construction date.
Rockhampton Flatwater Facility (Ski Gardens Precinct)
The Ski Gardens Precinct on the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton is proposed to be upgraded into the Rockhampton Flatwater Facility, earmarked to host rowing, Para rowing, canoe sprint and Para canoe events at the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games. The project is being advanced by the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority (GIICA) in partnership with Rockhampton Regional Council, which remains the venue owner. GIICA is assessing two preferred Field of Play options on the river, including a full 2-kilometre competition course with a southern finish line toward the Barrage, with support from World Rowing and the International Canoe Federation.Planned upgrades may include enhanced permanent infrastructure, amenities, a judging tower and improved river access, with a proposed venue capacity of 14,000. The facility is funded within the broader $7.1 billion Games Venues Infrastructure Program jointly provided by the Australian and Queensland Governments, though Commonwealth funding remains contingent on international accreditation approvals, and an alternative rowing venue proposal for Lawnton in Moreton Bay continues to be advocated by some rowing stakeholders. The Planning and Approvals phase is expected to continue through 2026 and into 2027, ahead of design and construction phases.
Rockhampton Ring Road
The Rockhampton Ring Road is a 17.4 km Bruce Highway bypass connecting the Capricorn Highway at Fairy Bower with the Rockhampton-Yeppoon Road at Parkhurst. The approximately AUD 1.98 billion project includes 18 bridges, including a new 435 m Fitzroy River crossing, flood immunity to the Q100 standard, improved freight efficiency, and removal of through heavy vehicle traffic from the Rockhampton CBD. Main construction commenced in 2025 and major bridge works are progressing, including a temporary Fitzroy River work platform and river exclusion zone through mid-2028.
Rockhampton Large Format Retail Centre (Anaconda anchor)
A large format retail development on the corner of Yaamba Road (Bruce Highway) and Moores Creek Road in Park Avenue, anchored by a 2,500 square metre Anaconda showroom. Following an approved change application in March 2025, the project now comprises six showroom tenancies plus advertising signage, with the previously proposed shopping centre, smaller shops and 24-hour service station components removed. The site provides 258 car parking spaces and is owned by the Spotlight Retail Group through SPG Developments.The development brings additional outdoor, lifestyle and homewares retail to the northern Rockhampton retail strip on the Bruce Highway.
Anaconda Large Format Retail Development Rockhampton

2,151 residents of Wandal are employed, from a labour force of 2,232. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 65.0%. 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 3,043, about 74% 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
The local labor market in Wandal demonstrates strong skilled representation across essential service industries, maintaining a low jobless rate of 3.6% according to aggregated statistical figures from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, employed residents total 2,151, with the local unemployment rate sitting 0.3% under the 3.9% recorded for Regional Qld. Labor force participation closely mirrors the 64.2% benchmark of Regional Qld. Census records show that only 4.2% of workers operated from home, a figure that should be viewed in the context of Covid-19 lockdown conditions. Workforce participation is heavily weighted toward health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction.
Health care & social assistance is especially prominent, engaging local residents at 1.4 times the regional rate. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.3% of workers compared to 4.5% across the wider region. Given its primary role as a residential enclave, the suburb provides relatively few internal jobs based on Census comparisons of resident workers versus local workplace positions. Synthesising ABS and SALM metrics across surrounding statistical areas, AreaSearch reports that over the 12 months to March 2026, local labour force size contracted by 5.2% and total employment dropped by 3.5%, which lowered the jobless rate by 1.8 percentage points. By comparison, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1%, labour force grow by 0.3%, and unemployment climb 0.1 percentage points. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia projections released in Mar-26 outline broader industry trends across five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, employment is anticipated to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years. Mapping these sectoral growth rates against Wandal's specific industry distribution indicates potential local job expansion of 7.0% over five years and 14.5% over ten years (noting that this represents a simple weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes without factoring in localized 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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,949 at the 2021 Census → 4,098 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.
