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.

Beaufort has an estimated 4,852 residents, up from 4,644 at the 2021 Census — a change of 208 people, or 4.5%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. 245 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. 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
Demographic assessments from AreaSearch place the population of Beaufort at approximately 4,852 as of Aug 2026, marking an increase of 208 people (4.5%) compared to the 4,644 people recorded during the 2021 Census. This calculation is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 4,816 as of June 2025 along with 245 validated new addresses added since the Census date. With a density ratio of 2.6 persons per square kilometer, residents enjoy substantial physical space. Beaufort's 4.5% growth since the 2021 census outpaced the SA3 area (2.9%) as well as the Rest of Vic., establishing the locality as a leading regional growth hub where interstate migration served as the primary driver, accounting for roughly 89.4% of total population additions over recent periods.
Population modeling by AreaSearch incorporates the ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for SA2 regions released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year, while unrepresented SA2 localities utilize the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections adjusted through a weighted aggregation of population shifts from LGA to SA2 tiers. Age-specific growth rates from these models are similarly applied to all districts for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic projections indicate growth above the non-metropolitan national median, with the community anticipated to add 634 persons by 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population figures, representing an overall expansion of 12.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
151 new dwellings have been approved in Beaufort over the past five years, an average of 30 a year. That is 6.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 30 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential development in Beaufort has maintained a steady pace of around 30 residential properties approved annually, reaching 151 homes across the past 5 financial years. With an average influx of 1.4 new residents per year per newly approved dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), residential supply aligns closely with local demand to sustain market stability, while expected construction costs for new dwellings average $416,000. Additionally, commercial development has remained relatively subdued, with $5.9 million in commercial approvals recorded this financial year. When evaluated against the Rest of Vic., Beaufort demonstrates higher building intensity, running 34.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period to offer buyer options while protecting property values, despite building activity cooling in recent times.
Furthermore, recent residential approvals have consisted entirely of detached houses, sustaining the low-density fabric of the area and appealing to buyers seeking space, with an overall average of around 237 people per approval. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, long-term projections indicate Beaufort will add 598 residents through to 2041. Under current construction trajectories, incoming residential supply is well placed to accommodate anticipated demand, sustaining healthy buyer conditions and potentially supporting demographic expansion above current forecasts.

Beaufort Linear Park Master Plan
The Beaufort Linear Park project aims to create a recreational corridor along the course of the Garibaldi Creek, extending from Beaufort Lake to Yam Holes Creek north of the railway line. The master plan, completed in May 2024, focuses on enhancing water quality and biodiversity, promoting community health and wellbeing, and improving the experience for visitors to Beaufort.
Beaufort Lake Caravan Park Upgrade
Phase one of the Beaufort Lake Caravan Park upgrade has been completed, delivering seven new visitor cabins including an all-abilities access cabin (two bedrooms, toilet, kitchen and ramp access). The works form part of a broader $3.8 million masterplan and included associated civil upgrades to power, wastewater, plumbing, roads and drainage. The new cabins double the total cabins in the park to 14 and are intended to support both tourism and short-term worker accommodation.
Beaufort Bypass
The Beaufort Bypass project, part of the Western Highway Upgrade, comprises 11 kilometres of dual carriageway bypassing Beaufort and connecting to duplicated sections of the Western Highway. It includes half-diamond interchanges, a full diamond interchange at Beaufort-Lexton Road, one road-over-rail bridge, overpass structures, culverts, small bridges, and watercourse realignments. The Environment Effects Statement (EES) process was concluded in November 2023.
Correa Park Residential Development
Developed by the Pyrenees Shire Council, Correa Park aimed to create affordable residential housing lots to meet the needs of a growing population. The development proceeded in stages over seven years and was completed in 2021. Approximately 100 blocks of land were sold.
Beaufort Commuter Car Park Upgrade
A new car park at Beaufort Station, delivered through the Victorian Government's Car Parks for Commuters program. The project includes at least 40 new car parking spaces, two new accessible spaces, and 15 new bicycle hoops. It also features new lighting and CCTV for enhanced security and landscaping.
Western Highway Upgrade
Multi-billion dollar duplication of the Western Highway between Ballarat and Stawell, the busiest national undivided highway in Australia and the key freight link between Melbourne and Adelaide. The Ballarat to Buangor section (55km) is complete. The Buangor to Ararat section (12km, Section 2B) is in preconstruction, with design, Cultural Heritage Management Plan, planning scheme amendment and key environmental approvals now finalised; construction is expected to start before the end of 2026, funded by an additional $446 million joint state and federal commitment announced in the 2026/27 budgets, taking the cost of this section to $1.17 billion.Works include an extra lane in each direction, a centre median, safety barriers, a new interchange at Hillside Road, and new bridges over the railway line and Hopkins River. The Ararat to Stawell section remains in planning. The corridor has recorded 158 crashes and 22 fatalities in the decade to March 2026, underscoring the safety case for the upgrade.
Ballarat West Employment Zone (BWEZ)
The 438-hectare Ballarat West Employment Zone is a major industrial and logistics precinct delivered by Development Victoria in partnership with the City of Ballarat. Stage 2 civil works are complete, unlocking 55 hectares of serviced land. Current activity focuses on Stage 3A (21.5 hectares) and the Ballarat Intermodal Freight Hub. The freight hub, which recently completed its Stage 2 construction tender in early 2026, is a critical component for regional freight connectivity, linking road, rail, and aviation infrastructure.The precinct supports advanced manufacturing, logistics, and circular economy initiatives.
Ballarat West Growth Area
The Ballarat West Growth Area is a 1,290-hectare greenfield masterplanned community on Ballarat's western edge, comprising three sub-precincts: Bonshaw Creek (approximately 707 hectares), Greenhalghs Road, and Ballarat-Carngham Road. Guided by the Ballarat West Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) and Development Contributions Plan (DCP), the project is planned to deliver around 15,524 dwellings supporting a future population of about 40,000. On 25 March 2026 the City of Ballarat adopted Planning Scheme Amendment C234ball, incorporating the revised February 2026 PSP and DCP, and submitted it to the Minister for Planning for approval.The revised plan increases housing yield from 14,442 to 15,524 dwellings, raises residential densities in line with state housing policy, and updates infrastructure scope and contributions (Residential DIL rising from 316,339 to 362,610 AUD per hectare). Net developable area is 972.04 hectares once arterial roads, waterways and drainage reserves are excluded. The development includes integrated activity centres, schools, community and recreation hubs, employment precincts, and parkland corridors along Bonshaw, Winter and Kensington Creeks, with arterial connections via Ballarat-Carngham Road and Greenhalghs Road.
2,168 residents of Beaufort are employed, from a labour force of 2,269. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 54.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,411, 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
The local labor market in Beaufort features an even split between blue-collar and white-collar occupations across diverse industries, alongside an unemployment rate of 4.5%. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,168, with unemployment tracking 0.8% above the 3.7% recorded for Regional Vic., while labor force participation sits substantially lower at 54.6% compared to 61.1% in Regional Vic.. According to Census figures, 18.7% of workers performed their duties from home, though this was subject to Covid-19 lockdown influences. The primary industry sectors employing local residents are agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and construction.
The area displays a pronounced specialization in agriculture, forestry & fishing, where the local employment proportion reaches 2.4 times the regional level. In contrast, health care & social assistance shows a smaller local footprint at 13.5% employment versus 16.8% regionally, and comparisons between Census working population numbers and resident population figures suggest limited internal job generation. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that over the 12 months to March 2026, the local labor pool expanded by 0.4% while total employment fell by 1.0%, leading to a 1.3 percentage points rise in unemployment; by comparison, Regional Vic. saw employment decline by 0.1%, labor force decrease by 0.3%, and unemployment drop by 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking employment estimates from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context across five and ten-year projections. Across the nation, employment is expected to increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with sector-specific rates varying widely; applying these trends to Beaufort's industry structure suggests local employment gains of 5.5% over five years and 12.1% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting calculation 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 — 245 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,644 at the 2021 Census → 4,852 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 (201031014). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
