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.

Detail
AreaSearch indicates that Bunyip - Garfield has a population of approximately 10,419 in May 2026. Compared to the 9,868 residents recorded during the 2021 Census, this represents a growth of 551 people (5.6%). This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 10,366 along with 102 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The density stands at 28 persons per square kilometer, which indicates a low-density environment with substantial space per resident. The area has experienced steady progress over the last ten years, registering a 1.9% compound annual growth rate that exceeded the expansion rate of Greater Melbourne.
Population increases were mostly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 45.0% of the population rise in recent times, though natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized for SA2 areas. For locations lacking this data, projections are sourced from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases, adjusted using a weighted aggregation method to convert LGA trends to SA2 levels. Growth rates across specific age brackets derived from these calculations are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic forecasts, the district is expected to experience population growth exceeding the national median, gaining 1,546 residents by 2041 based on the latest annual ERP statistics, which represents a total increase of 14.3% over the 16 years.

Detail
Residential approvals in Bunyip - Garfield average approximately 53 annually, with a total of 266 homes approved over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 34 approvals have been logged. Over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, the local population grew by an average of 2.5 people for each new home built, pointing to consistent demand that helps maintain local property values, with new residential projects averaging an estimated construction cost of $341,000. In addition, commercial development remains a minor component of local building activity, with only $3.1 million in commercial approvals registered so far this financial year.
Bunyip - Garfield has building activity per person that is roughly half the level of Greater Melbourne, though it sits in the 73rd percentile of all locations nationwide. Detached houses make up 85.0% of new residential projects, while townhouses or apartments constitute the remaining 15.0%, preserving the low-density profile of the district and appealing to buyers seeking extra space. The low-density character of the area is further highlighted by a ratio of approximately 175 people for every dwelling approval. Projections indicate that the population of Bunyip - Garfield will grow by 1,493 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. The current rate of construction suggests that housing supply is on track to satisfy demand, which should keep conditions balanced for buyers and potentially facilitate growth that surpasses current projections.

Council planning officers have recommended approval, with the decision to be considered at the council meeting of 18 May 2026. The site falls within the Officer-Pakenham State Significant Industrial Precinct, meaning any council-approved permit would still require state government sign-off - the same process that saw a similar Costco bid at Officer South vetoed by the Minister for Planning in 2023.
5,905 residents of Bunyip - Garfield are employed, from a labour force of 6,085. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 72.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,814, about 85% 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 workforce features a mix of white-collar and blue-collar workers, with construction showing strong representation. The unemployment rate is low at 3.0%, and overall employment grew by an estimated 4.7% over the past year. In March 2026, there were 5,905 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate was 1.8% lower than the Greater Melbourne rate of 4.8%. Workforce participation stands at 72.4%, which is close to the Greater Melbourne average of 70.2%. Census data indicates that 21.1% of local workers operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The main industries employing local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. Construction is a major specialty in the area, with its share of employment reaching 2.0 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for only 5.2% of the local workforce compared to 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. Comparing the number of working residents to the local job count suggests that local employment opportunities within the area are relatively limited. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that in the 12 months leading up to March 2026, the number of employed residents rose by 4.7% and the total labor force grew by 4.5%, which led to a 0.1 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. Over the same period in Greater Melbourne, employment rose by 2.1%, the labor force expanded by 2.3%, and the unemployment rate increased by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 offer a guide for future demand in Bunyip - Garfield. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Although total employment nationwide is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change differ by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local employment structure suggests that employment in Bunyip - Garfield will grow by 5.9% over five years and 12.3% over ten years, representing a basic weighting extrapolation that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 102 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,868 at the 2021 Census → 10,419 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 (212011547). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
