Woodgate has an estimated 2,113 residents, up from 1,521 at the 2021 Census — a change of 592 people, or 38.9%. Growth has averaged 7.6% a year over five years, faster than 96% of areas nationally. 153 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 91.0% of that increase. Density is about 11 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates and 153 validated new addresses post-Census, the suburb of Woodgate reaches an estimated population of 2,113 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 592 people (38.9%) compared to the 1,521 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such growth builds upon the resident total of 2,079 calculated by AreaSearch from the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside post-Census address additions. Density stands at 11.3 persons per square kilometer, ensuring considerable personal space across the locality. Outpacing both the SA3 area (9.3%) and the Rest of Qld, the suburb of Woodgate emerged as a prominent regional growth performer with its 38.9% post-2021 Census expansion, fueled predominantly by interstate migration which generated roughly 91.0% of recent population additions.
SA2 demographic projections released in 2024 (using 2022 as a base) by ABS/Geoscience Australia form the primary baseline for AreaSearch modelling. For locations lacking this coverage or projecting beyond 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 figures released in 2023 (benchmarked to 2021) are incorporated. Because these state figures omit age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional distributions from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 using 2022 data). Looking ahead, long-term expansion in the suburb of Woodgate is projected to track slightly under the non-capital city median, adding 209 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 models, which equates to an overall 8.3% increase over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
280 new dwellings have been approved in Woodgate over the past five years, an average of 56 a year. That places the area in the 87th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 27 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 54 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 98% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 53, 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
Statistical allocations of ABS residential approval figures reviewed by AreaSearch show that approximately 56 new homes receive permits annually in Woodgate, accumulating to roughly 280 homes across the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 53 recorded during FY-25 to date. An influx averaging 2.4 people annually per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) underscores steady structural demand that underpins local property values. Construction costs average $412,000 per dwelling, sitting below broader regional benchmarks and fostering relatively accessible pricing. Concurrently, commercial building approvals have reached $25.6 million within the current financial year, highlighting solid non-residential capital expenditure.
Per capita residential building approvals in Woodgate exceed the Rest of Qld benchmark by 331.0%, affording purchasers extensive market selection. This volume stands substantially higher than national norms, signalling robust builder and developer confidence. Detached houses account for 98.0% of recent residential building permits compared to 2.0% for townhouses or apartments, preserving the traditional low-density neighborhood fabric while catering to family-oriented buyers seeking spacious allotments. Generating roughly 40 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical expanding market dynamics. Long-term population estimates anticipate an additional 175 residents for Woodgate leading up to 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Prevailing building approval rates indicate that upcoming residential supply will easily satisfy projected demand, fostering favorable buyer conditions and potentially enabling demographic expansion beyond base forecasts.

Geotechnical investigation works along Back Windermere Road have been conducted in October 2025 in preparation for the project.
432-434 Goodwood Road Land Lease Community
DA approved 7.34 hectare land lease community on the southern fringe of Bundaberg, planned to deliver 149 residential home sites in a managed estate. The project targets secure and affordable housing featuring six architectural designs. The site is currently being offered for sale via Expressions of Interest, with construction originally targeted to commence in late 2025.
Innes Estate
Innes Estate is a coastal masterplanned house and land community fronting Innes Park Road in Innes Park, south of Bargara in the Bundaberg region. Developed by Surf Australia Developments, the project is being delivered across five stages and will ultimately provide around 156 homesites ranging from 600 to 1,223 sqm.

St Vincent de Paul Social Housing Walkervale Bundaberg
An 81 dwelling social housing development on the corner of Barolin and Maynard Streets in Walkervale, comprising 60 units and 21 single homes delivered under the QuickStarts QLD program. The project is being developed in partnership between St Vincent de Paul Society Queensland Housing and the Queensland Government, with homes to be operated by Vinnies Housing. Construction is progressing following Ministerial Infrastructure Designation approval, delivering long term social and affordable housing with on-site wrap-around support services including furniture and food assistance.
Gympie Estate Affordable Housing Project
PROJECT CANCELLED - SEPTEMBER 2025. A proposed 101-home affordable housing estate on 26 hectares adjacent to Baldwin Swamp Environmental Park. Following comprehensive geotechnical and environmental assessments, Regional Housing Limited and Bundaberg Regional Council determined the project was not feasible due to infrastructure costs exceeding development thresholds. The land is now planned to be incorporated into Baldwin Swamp Environmental Park as environmental reserve. The site, bounded by Telegraph Road, Ring Road, FE Walker Street and Mellifont Street, was intended to deliver affordable rental housing while preserving green spaces, but investigations confirmed civil infrastructure costs would be too high and lot numbers overly restricted to achieve affordable housing outcomes.
New Bundaberg Hospital
The $1.2 billion New Bundaberg Hospital is a major greenfield development featuring a six-storey clinical building with over 400 beds. The facility includes an expanded emergency department, a rooftop helipad, mental health units, and teaching spaces. It serves as the centerpiece of the Bundaberg Health and Enterprise Precinct, aimed at providing level 5 health services to the growing Wide Bay region while mitigating flood risks associated with the existing hospital site.
832 residents of Woodgate are employed, from a labour force of 866. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 44.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% 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 1,875, about 89% 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
Woodgate sustains an evenly distributed professional and manual workforce, marked by prominent representation in building and construction trades, a low 3.9% unemployment rate, and a 13.0% increase in local employment across the previous year based on AreaSearch statistical aggregations. As of March 2026832 residents are actively employed, matching the Regional Qld jobless rate of 3.9%, though labor market participation is comparatively subdued at 44.7% against 64.2% across Regional Qld. Census records also indicate that 17.0% of local workers performed their duties from home, mindful of the prevailing Covid-19 lockdown context.
The primary employment drivers among resident workers are construction, accommodation & food, and agriculture, forestry & fishing. Specialization is exceptionally pronounced within agriculture, forestry & fishing, where local workforce concentration is 2.2 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance engages 9.1% of working residents, underperforming the regional proportion of 16.1%. A comparison between Census working counts and resident counts points to relatively constrained employment capacity within the immediate boundary. Synthesizing SALM and ABS statistical data over the 12-month period reveals that a 13.0% rise in employed residents accompanied a 10.6% expansion in the total labor pool, driving the local unemployment rate down by 2.2 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Regional Qld saw employment rise 0.1% alongside a 0.3% labor force increase, lifting unemployment by 0.1 percentage point. Looking forward, national forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 project overall job growth of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighting these sectoral trajectories against Woodgate's workforce structure points to potential local gains of 5.7% over five years and 12.1% over ten years, representing an illustrative proportional extrapolation unadjusted for local population shifts.

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 — 153 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,521 at the 2021 Census → 2,113 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.
