This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Wantirna has an estimated population of approximately 14,446, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census validated addresses. Compared to the 14,237 individuals recorded at the 2021 Census, this represents a gain of 209 residents (1.5%). The figure draws on an ERP estimate of 14,310 published by the ABS in June 2025 alongside 329 validated new addresses confirmed after the Census benchmark. The local population density stands at 1,763 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the national average across AreaSearch benchmark locations.
While the wider SA3 region achieved 3.3% growth over the period, the suburb of Wantirna remained competitive, trailing by only 1.8 percentage points. Inbound overseas migration served as essentially the exclusive contributor to demographic expansion in recent times. Projections for the suburb of Wantirna utilise 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling with a 2022 baseline, supplemented where necessary by 2023 Victorian State Government LGA/regional figures aggregated to SA2 boundaries. Age-cohort growth trajectories from this aggregation framework extend forward from 2032 to 2041. Long-range outlooks place the suburb of Wantirna in the lower quartile nationwide, anticipating an increase of 505 persons by 2041, which corresponds to a cumulative expansion of 2.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
644 new dwellings have been approved in Wantirna over the past five years, an average of 128 a year. That places the area in the 57th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 130 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 22% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 75, 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
ABS residential building approvals compiled by AreaSearch show that Wantirna averages approximately 128 dwelling consents per year. Over the five financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, approvals reached an estimated 644 dwellings, including 75 approvals logged in FY-25 to date. Given recent demographic contractions, this building pace provides healthy volume for prospective purchasers, with an average construction value of $605,000 per dwelling—above regional benchmarks—signaling higher-tier construction standards. Meanwhile, commercial construction consents have totaled $63.5 million during this financial year, underscoring solid business capital expenditure. Per capita building approvals in Wantirna exceed the Greater Melbourne rate by 112.0%, broadening housing choices for buyers despite a recent cooling in overall construction activity.
Approved dwellings comprise 22.0% standalone houses and 78.0% medium- to high-density formats. This orientation toward higher-density stock offers attainable price points for first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. It also marks a noticeable pivot from the established residential fabric (presently 90.0% detached homes), driven by land scarcity alongside evolving lifestyle choices and buyer budgets. The ratio of roughly 170 persons per approval confirms the locality's low-density environment. Forecasts through to 2041 indicate Wantirna will add 369 residents relative to the latest quarterly AreaSearch assessment. Existing construction pipelines appear well-positioned to satisfy incoming demand, sustaining favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling demographic gains that exceed projected levels.

7,286 residents of Wantirna are employed, from a labour force of 7,594. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 63.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 13,110, about 91% 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
Statistical area data aggregated by AreaSearch indicates that Wantirna maintains a highly educated labor pool with substantial representation in professional services, alongside a 4.0% jobless rate and 1.1% employment growth over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 7,286. The local unemployment figure sits 0.7% below the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%, although labor force participation (63.9%) remains well under the metropolitan level of 70.1%. Census records showed that 31.3% of workers operated from home, a metric influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment fields for residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training.
Conversely, professional & technical roles account for 8.4% of local workers, lagging the regional proportion of 10.1%. Comparisons between resident counts and Census workplace numbers indicate that the area is largely dormitory in nature, with constrained job generation within its borders. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM metrics shows that in the 12 months leading to March 2026, Wantirna recorded a 1.1% increase in employment alongside a 1.8% expansion in the labor force, lifting unemployment by 0.7 percentage points. Across Greater Melbourne over the identical timeframe, employment increased by 2.1%, the workforce rose by 2.3%, and the jobless rate climbed by 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking guidance from Jobs and Skills Australia (Mar-26 release) projects nationwide employment to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, though trajectories diverge by sector. Applying these national industry weights to the local workforce suggests Wantirna's employment could rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, representing a baseline extrapolation that excludes localized population adjustments.

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 — 329 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (14,237 at the 2021 Census → 14,446 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 (SAL22685). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
