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
According to the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Belgrave - Selby stands at approximately 9,964 in May 2026. This represents a contraction of 41 individuals (0.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 10,005 residents. This demographic shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 9,964 from June 2025 alongside 29 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The current population level translates to a density of 179 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and opportunities for potential future construction. Population gains in the region were primarily supported by overseas migration, which made up roughly 53.0% of all population increases in recent times.
AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories where this data is unavailable, AreaSearch applies the 2023 projections from the VIC State Government for LGAs and regions, adjusting them through a weighted aggregation of population growth from the LGA scale down to the SA2 level. The age bracket growth rates derived from these aggregations are also utilized across all sectors for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic methodologies, a downward trend is anticipated, with the overall population of the area projected to decrease by 209 persons by 2041. Conversely, expansion is expected within particular age cohorts, led by the 75 to 84 age category, which is forecast to rise by 320 individuals.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
45 new dwellings have been approved in Belgrave - Selby over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 0.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Belgrave - Selby averages approximately 9 dwelling approvals per year, with a total of 45 residential approvals recorded over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 6 approvals registered in FY-26 so far. Because the local population has decreased recently, the volume of new housing has likely matched demand, providing buyers with suitable options, while the average value of these new constructions is $659,000, showing that builders are focusing on the upscale market with high-value projects. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $59.7 million have been logged during the current financial year, demonstrating active development in the commercial sector.
When compared to Greater Melbourne, Belgrave - Selby exhibits significantly lower residential building activity, tracking 77.0% below the regional average on a per capita basis. This limited addition of new housing stock generally bolsters demand and valuations for established properties. Building activity is also below the national average, reflecting the mature nature of the suburb and pointing to possible zoning restrictions. Additionally, all recent construction projects have consisted of detached houses, preserving the classic low-density environment and catering to families looking for extra space. The metric of 1496 people in the locality for every single dwelling approval highlights the quiet nature of this development market. Faced with projections of a steady or shrinking population, Belgrave - Selby is likely to see reduced housing demand, which should create advantageous conditions for prospective 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 Councils long term plan to guide upgrades at Kings Park, a major local sports and recreation hub. Stage 1 is a new fenced dog park with two separate off leash areas, path circuits, seating, picnic facilities, drinking fountain and improved drainage. Council indicates construction commenced May 2025 with completion anticipated October 2025. Future projects in the masterplan remain subject to feasibility, community engagement and annual budget processes.
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 73.1%. 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 labor force residing in Belgrave - Selby is highly qualified, with a strong presence in essential services, an unemployment rate of 4.2%, and an estimated employment expansion of 1.7% over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 5,710, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.6% below the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%, while participation in the workforce is close to average (73.1% compared to 70.2% in Greater Melbourne). Census returns indicate that a significant 34.4% of employed locals worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of COVID-19 restrictions.
The primary employment fields for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The area exhibits a high concentration of workers in education & training, representing 1.4 times the average across the broader region. On the other hand, the finance & insurance sector is less common, employing 2.4% of residents compared to the regional benchmark of 4.9%. The ratio of the working population to the resident population suggests that the local area offers few job opportunities within its own borders. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, during the 12-month period leading to March 2026, employment grew by 1.7% while the overall labor force expanded by 1.9%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Melbourne experienced a 2.1% rise in employment, a 2.3% expansion of the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context on future labor demand for Belgrave - Selby. These forecasts, spanning five-year and ten-year intervals, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary widely by industry. Applying these national sector trends to the local industry mix suggests Belgrave - Selby's employment could grow by 6.5% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, keeping in mind this calculation is a basic weighted projection for illustration that does not incorporate local 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 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 May 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 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 (211051274). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
