Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Interstate and internal migration accounts for 78.0% of that increase. Density is about 78 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 the suburb of Westbrook (Qld)'s population is estimated at around 4,716 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 308 people (7.0%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,408 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 4,679, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 68 validated new addresses since the Census date.

This level of population equates to a density ratio of 77 persons per square kilometer, providing significant space per person and potential room for further development. Over the past decade, the suburb of Westbrook (Qld) has demonstrated resilient growth patterns with a 1.9% compound annual growth rate, outpacing the SA3 area. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by interstate migration that contributed approximately 78.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including natural growth and overseas migration were positive factors. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted. It should be noted that these state projections do not provide age category splits; hence where utilised, AreaSearch is applying proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Anticipating future population dynamics, a significant population increase in the top quartile of Australia's regional areas is forecast, with the area expected to expand by 1,265 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting recording a gain of 26.0% in total over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Westbrook (Qld)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

80 new dwellings have been approved in Westbrook (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 16 a year. That places the area in the 68th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 30, running ahead of 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

Evaluations of ABS building permit figures across statistical boundaries indicate that Westbrook averages roughly 16 residential approvals annually, totaling approximately 80 residential permits over the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) alongside 28 during the current FY-26 period. Given that approximately 3.5 new residents arrived for every finished home over those 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand outstrips supply by a wide margin, which generally drives up local prices and intensifies buyer rivalry, with new builds averaging an estimated construction cost of $408,000. Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $628,000 this financial year, pointing to an environment dominated by residential expansion.

Compared against the Rest of Qld, Westbrook registers roughly 63% of the building volume per capita, ranking in the 72nd percentile of all tracked localities nationwide, even though construction activity has gathered pace recently. This volume falls below the national norm, illustrating the established nature of the locality and hinting at potential regulatory limitations. Additionally, recent projects have consisted entirely of detached houses, maintaining the sparse layout of the area and drawing in buyers who prioritize open spaces. With approximately 183 residents per individual permit, Westbrook exhibits characteristics of an expanding district. Projecting forward, Westbrook is on track to add 1,228 occupants by 2041 (relative to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch). If current building volumes persist, the housing pipeline could struggle to keep pace with demographic expansion, potentially intensifying competition among purchasers and reinforcing upward price momentum.

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 — 68 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,408 at the 2021 Census → 4,716 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 May 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 (SAL33045). 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 Westbrook (Qld) 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 Westbrook (Qld) 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 Westbrook (Qld) 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 (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2025) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 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.
