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.

Belgrave - Selby has an estimated 9,964 residents, down from 10,005 at the 2021 Census. The population has thinned by an average 0.7% a year over five years, slower than 93% of areas nationally. That puts 179 residents on each 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
Demographic evaluations by AreaSearch position the resident count of Belgrave - Selby at approximately 9,964 as of Aug 2026. This figure indicates a slight reduction of 41 people (0.4%) compared to the 10,005 people recorded during the 2021 Census. Such movement is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population figure of 9,964 as of June 2025 alongside 29 validated new addresses identified following the Census count. Given this headcount, the population density stands at 179 persons per square kilometer, affording residents substantial physical space alongside prospective capacity for future expansion.
Historical population additions were largely underpinned by net overseas arrivals, which constituted around 53.0% of recent total demographic increases. Projections generated jointly by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as a base, are applied across SA2 locations by AreaSearch. In instances where specific SA2 geographies lack coverage, 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections are incorporated via a population-weighted aggregation technique scaling LGA growth down to SA2 zones. These cohort-specific growth rates are subsequently extended to project trends from 2032 to 2041 across all districts. Under this demographic forecasting framework, the broader population trajectory points downward, anticipating a net reduction of 214 persons by 2041. In contrast to this broader contraction, selective age segments are anticipated to expand, most prominently the 75 to 84 age group, which is modelled to increase by 309 people.

Detail
Residential construction permissions in Belgrave - Selby have tracked at an annual rate of roughly 8 new dwelling approvals, delivering an aggregate of 44 homes throughout the preceding 5 financial years. In light of recent demographic reductions, residential inventory has aligned well with prevailing demand to support a balanced marketplace with ample choice for purchasers, while building projects register an average construction cost of $765,000, illustrating an emphasis among developers on upmarket, premium housing. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $59.7 million across this financial year, pointing to solid commercial capital allocation locally.
Residential development in Belgrave - Selby trails the wider metropolitan area substantially, registering 76.0% below the per-capita regional benchmark of Greater Melbourne. This subdued volume of additions tends to bolster pricing and buyer interest across existing residential stock. Building rates are likewise below the Australian standard, highlighting the mature character of the locality alongside potential statutory planning restrictions. Additionally, recent residential building activity consists purely of standalone detached houses, reinforcing low-density neighborhood character that draws buyers prioritizing larger allotments. A metric of 1711 people per approved dwelling highlights this subdued, low-volume planning landscape. With forward demographic projections remaining flat or contracting, Belgrave - Selby is poised to see reduced residential supply strain, fostering an advantageous environment for purchasers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Angliss Hospital Expansion
A $112 million major redevelopment featuring a new four-storey, all-electric tower. The expansion delivers a 32-bed inpatient unit, four state-of-the-art operating theatres, a new central sterile supply department, and expanded outpatient and allied health services. Major structural works were completed in July 2025, and the project is currently in the fit-out and final construction phase to increase surgical capacity for the Knox and Yarra Ranges communities.
Six Senses Resort And Spa At Burnham Beeches
$100-million transformed Burnham Beeches into Australia's first Six Senses resort, offering 43-room hotel, wellness retreat, restaurant, bar, and 39 luxury glamping spots for a total of 82 accommodations.
Kings Park Masterplan
Knox City Council's long-term master plan to upgrade Kings Park, a key sporting and recreation precinct. Stage 1 delivers a fully fenced dog park featuring two distinct off-leash zones, sealed path circuits, picnic seating, drinking fountains, and site drainage improvements. Future stages for parkland enhancement remain subject to council planning and annual capital works budgeting.
Hillcrest Narre Warren North
Boutique estate of 34 premium homesites ranging from 1,000m2 to over 2,000m2 in Narre Warren North, a prestigious growth corridor in Melbourne's south-east. The development was entirely pre-sold before completion.
Dorset Road Extension
Proposed 3km southern extension of Dorset Road from its current terminus at Burwood Highway, Ferntree Gully, through the long-standing road reservation to Napoleon Road and on to Lysterfield Road. The preferred option identified in the business case is a four-lane divided arterial with new and upgraded signalised intersections, a new bridge over Corhanwarrabul Creek, bus priority infrastructure and separated walking and cycling paths. The extension would close a major north-south gap in the Knox road network, where connectivity between Ferntree Gully and the Lysterfield and Rowville areas currently relies on discontinuous secondary routes, pushing traffic onto residential streets and contributing to above-average crash rates.Major Road Projects Victoria completed planning, traffic modelling, social and environmental investigations on behalf of the Australian Government, and business cases for the extension and the companion Napoleon Road Upgrade were finalised in early 2022. Infrastructure Australia's evaluation returned a benefit-cost ratio of 0.64 and a net present value of negative 117.4 million dollars, and the proposal was not added to the Infrastructure Priority List as investment-ready. The Australian Government withdrew its funding commitment in the October 2022-23 Budget and the project remains unfunded. Knox City Council continues to advocate for delivery, and the completed planning work means the corridor could be revived quickly if funding is restored. Construction was previously estimated to support around 627 direct jobs and roughly 1,552 flow-on jobs.
Woolworths Ferntree Gully eCommerce Expansion
A comprehensive 14-week upgrade project to enhance the store's direct-to-boot operations and eCommerce capabilities. The initiative focused on expanding store facilities and improving click-and-collect services through major store extension, civil works, installation of new precast panels, structural steel frameworks, a new canopy, and significant refrigeration and cool room works. All construction was executed within a live trading environment to minimize disruption to daily store operations.
Ellington Estate
Premium masterplanned residential community in Narre Warren North, featuring large allotments from 1,000sqm to over 4,000sqm in an established leafy setting. The estate includes 120 dwellings and is completed.
Ferntree Gully Village Creative Placemaking Plan
Community-driven arts and cultural development project transforming public spaces in Ferntree Gully Village through murals, sculptures, lightbox galleries, and parklet upgrades to enhance safety, community connection, and local pride.
5,710 residents of Belgrave - Selby are employed, from a labour force of 5,960. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 72.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,144, about 82% 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 labour pool across Belgrave - Selby exhibits high educational attainment and prominent representation across essential service sectors, recording a 4.2% unemployment rate alongside 1.7% job growth over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 5,710, while the local jobless rate sits 0.6% under the 4.8% seen across Greater Melbourne, accompanied by a conventional labour force participation rate of 72.9% relative to 70.1% across Greater Melbourne. Census records highlighted that 34.4% of employed locals were based at home, though pandemic-related movement restrictions should be taken into account.
Key employment sectors for the local workforce include health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The area demonstrates notable vocational concentration in education & training, capturing an employment share that is 1.4 times greater than the metropolitan standard. In contrast, finance & insurance represents a smaller footprint of 2.4% against the regional baseline of 4.9%. Comparing the Census count of local jobs against the resident workforce suggests that local employment opportunities are relatively constrained within the immediate boundaries. AreaSearch assessment of data from the ABS and SALM indicates that for the year ending March 2026, local employment expanded by 1.7% while the labour force widened by 1.9%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point uptick in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe across Greater Melbourne, employment expanded by 2.1%, the workforce rose by 2.3%, and unemployment similarly climbed 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding long-term labour demand. Projecting these five-year and ten-year national trajectories across the local industry profile provides estimated employment pathways. At a nationwide level, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, albeit with wide variation between distinct sectors. Modeling these sector-level expectations against the current economic composition of Belgrave - Selby indicates prospective local workforce growth of 6.5% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, calculated via structural weighting without adjusting for localized demographic 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 — 29 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,005 at the 2021 Census → 9,964 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 (211051274). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
