This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Flinders and Cape Barren Islands has an estimated 949 residents, up from 922 at the 2021 Census — a change of 27 people, or 2.9%. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 AreaSearch's analysis, Flinders and Cape Barren Islands's population is around 949 as of Nov 25. This reflects an increase of 27 people (2.9%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 922 people. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 941 from the ABS as of June 2024 and an additional 9 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 0.50 persons per square kilometer, a level providing ample space per person. Flinders and Cape Barren Islands's 2.9% growth since census positions it within 1.9 percentage points of the state (4.8%), demonstrating competitive growth fundamentals.
Population growth for the area was primarily driven by interstate migration, which was essentially the sole driver of population gains during recent periods. 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 to estimate growth by age group in the years post-2032, the Tasmania State Government's Regional/LGA projections, released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year, are adopted with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Moving forward with demographic trends, exceptional growth, placing in the top 10 percent of locations outside of capital cities, is predicted over the period with the area expected to increase by 1,175 persons to 2041 based on the latest population numbers, with an increase of 123.0% in total over the 17 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
67 new dwellings have been approved in Flinders and Cape Barren Islands over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 14.3 approvals per 1,000 residents.

Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Flinders and Cape Barren Islands has averaged around 13 new dwelling approvals annually, with 67 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 2 so far in FY-26. With population declining over recent years, development activity has been adequate in relative terms, a positive for buyers, while new properties are constructed at an average value of $182,000—under regional levels—indicating more accessible housing choices for buyers. Also, $1.5 million in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, demonstrating the area's residential nature. When measured against Rest of Tas., Flinders and Cape Barren Islands shows 94.0% higher building activity (per person).
creating greater choice for buyers. This level is well above average nationally, reflecting strong developer confidence in the area. New building activity shows 78.0% detached dwellings and 22.0% attached dwellings, maintaining the area's traditional low density character with a focus on family homes appealing to those seeking space. This marks a significant departure from existing housing patterns (currently 97.0% houses), suggesting diminishing developable land availability and responding to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs. With around 68 people per dwelling approval, Flinders and Cape Barren Islands shows characteristics of a low density area. Future projections show Flinders and Cape Barren Islands adding 1,167 residents by 2041. If current development rates continue, housing supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially increasing competition among buyers and supporting stronger price growth.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Bass Offshore Wind Energy Project (BOWE)
The Bass Offshore Wind Energy (BOWE) project is a proposed large-scale offshore wind farm in Commonwealth waters of the Bass Strait, around 30 km off the north-east coast of Tasmania. Plans call for between 70 and 100 fixed-bottom turbines with a total capacity of up to 1.5 GW, enough to power around 325,000 homes and offset roughly 2 million tonnes of CO2 a year. Energy would be delivered to the Tasmanian mainland via a subsea transmission cable, with the preferred grid connection point at the George Town substation, supporting the proposed Bell Bay Hydrogen Hub and the state's 200 percent renewable energy target.The Federal Government declared the Northern Tasmania offshore wind zone in December 2024 and opened feasibility licence applications, which closed on 10 April 2025. A preliminary decision was subsequently made not to award any feasibility licences in the Bass Strait zone, leaving BOWE without a licence to progress to formal feasibility studies. Equinor, which had held a majority stake from late 2022, withdrew from the project in early 2025 as part of a broader pull-back from Australian and global offshore wind. Nexsphere has assumed full ownership and stated it intends to continue with BOWE while seeking new international partners. Founded by Glen Kierse and Leanne McDougall in 2017, Nexsphere is the proponent, with the project led from Tasmania.
Star of the South Offshore Wind Farm
Star of the South is a proposed offshore wind farm in Bass Strait off Gippsland, Victoria. The project has a feasibility licence area of about 586 square kilometres and proposes up to 2.2 GW of offshore wind capacity, enough to power around 1.2 million homes. It would connect to the grid through underground cables landing near Reeves Beach and transmission infrastructure toward the Latrobe Valley. As of the latest official updates, the project has lodged its Commonwealth EIS and Victorian EES for government adequacy review, with public review expected around mid 2026.It still requires environmental and planning approvals, a Victorian offshore wind auction outcome, a commercial licence and final investment decision before construction can proceed.
Kut-Wut Brataualung
The Kut-Wut Brataualung is a proposed 2.2 GW offshore wind farm in the Gippsland Offshore Wind Zone, Victoria, with a feasibility licence for 689 km2, 45 km from Wilsons Promontory.
Gippsland Skies
The Gippsland Skies project involves a proposed 2.5 GW bottom-fixed offshore wind farm within the Gippsland Offshore Wind Zone, located off Victoria's coast.
Bell Bay Wind Farm
Proposed 224-megawatt (MW) wind farm and 100-MW / 400-megawatt hour battery, located approximately 6km north east of George Town. It will include up to 28 wind turbines, a battery energy storage system (BESS), a substation, and other facilities. Declared a Major Project, currently undergoing environmental impact assessment.
South George Town Primary School Redevelopment
A $15.1 million redevelopment of South George Town Primary School to provide contemporary learning environments, associated support spaces and amenities, as part of the Tasmanian Government's School Building Blitz Program. Construction is expected to commence in 2026 and be completed in 2028.
George Town 4-Townhouse Development
Construction of four townhouses in George Town, funded by CrowdProperty and developed by Michael Ta. The project is expected to be completed approximately 15 months from the first drawdown (around mid-2024).
Palmerston to George Town High Voltage Transmission Lines
An 85-kilometre high voltage transmission line upgrade project completed in March 2014 by John Holland for Transend Networks. It involved 243 tower structures and three substations, significantly upgrading NW Tasmania's power grid.
495 residents of Flinders and Cape Barren Islands are employed, from a labour force of 514. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 57.8%. 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. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Flinders and Cape Barren Islands has a skilled workforce, with diverse sector representation, and an unemployment rate of only 3.7%. As of June 2025, 495 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 0.2% below Rest of Tas.'s rate of 3.9%, and workforce participation is fairly standard (57.8% compared to Rest of Tas.'s 55.7%). The dominant employment sectors among residents include agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and public administration & safety. The area has particular employment specialization in agriculture, forestry & fishing, with an employment share of 2.9 times the regional level.
Conversely, manufacturing shows lower representation at 1.1% versus the regional average of 7.7%. While local employment opportunities exist in the area, it appears many residents commute elsewhere for work, based on the count of Census working population to local population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, over the 12 months to June 2025, labour force levels decreased by 1.3% alongside a 1.8% employment decline, causing unemployment to rise by 0.4 percentage points. This compares to Rest of Tas., where employment fell by 0.5%, labour force contracted by 0.6%, and unemployment fell marginally. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May 2025 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Flinders and Cape Barren Islands. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Flinders and Cape Barren Islands's employment mix suggests local growth of approximately increase by 5.7%% over five years and 12.1% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

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 2024 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 9 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Nov 2025, not a 2021 count (921 at the 2021 Census → 949 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 Nov 2025. 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 2022, 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.
