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
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count of Gladstone Park - Westmeadows stands at approximately 18,287 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 263 individuals (1.5%) compared to the 18,024 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 18,285 from June 2025 alongside 83 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The local population density reaches 1,311 persons per square kilometer, a figure that exceeds the typical density of locations analyzed nationwide by AreaSearch. The expansion of the local population was primarily driven by arrivals from abroad, with overseas migration accounting for about 74.1% of the total population gains in recent times.
AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using a 2022 baseline for each SA2. In instances where SA2 level projections are unavailable, data is sourced from the 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusted via weighted aggregation of population growth from the LGA level down to the SA2 level. Growth dynamics by age category derived from these aggregations are applied to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, substantial population growth is anticipated, placing this locality within the highest tier of analyzed areas, with an projected increase of 6,351 individuals by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP data, which equates to a overall expansion of 34.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
205 new dwellings have been approved in Gladstone Park - Westmeadows over the past five years, an average of 41 a year. That is 2.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 29 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 45% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 32, broadly in line with that longer-run average.

Detail
Approvals for new residential properties in Gladstone Park - Westmeadows average approximately 41 per year, totaling 205 residential approvals over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, with 30 approvals recorded during FY-26 so far. Even with a contracting population in recent times, the volume of building approvals has been relatively sufficient, creating favorable conditions for property buyers, with new builds averaging a construction value of $301,000, aligning with regional trends. Additionally, commercial approvals have reached $8.6 million during the current financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential nature of the locality.
In comparison to the broader Greater Melbourne region, residential building activity in Gladstone Park - Westmeadows is extremely low, sitting 82.0% below the regional average on a per capita basis. Such limited supply of new dwellings generally supports demand and values for existing stock. This construction rate is also lower than the national average, indicating a mature housing market and potential structural constraints on new development. Newly approved building work consists of 45.0% standalone houses and 55.0% semi-detached or multi-unit dwellings. This orientation toward higher density construction offers more accessible options and attracts downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a clear departure from the current housing stock, which is 89.0% houses, showing a dwindling supply of vacant residential land alongside shifting lifestyle preferences and demand for more varied, affordable housing. There are approximately 547 residents for every dwelling approval, which is typical of a fully developed suburb. Demographic projections indicate that Gladstone Park - Westmeadows is set to add 6,349 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If building activity remains at its current pace, the supply of new housing may not keep up with population growth, which will likely heighten competition among buyers and support upward pressure on property prices.

9,226 residents of Gladstone Park - Westmeadows are employed, from a labour force of 9,739. Unemployment sits at 5.3%, with participation at 64.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,544, 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
Gladstone Park - Westmeadows has a workforce characterized by diverse skills, with a notably strong representation in the construction sector, an unemployment rate of 5.3%, and a modest annual employment growth rate of 0.7%. As of March 2026, working residents total 9,226, while the local unemployment rate sits 0.5% above the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%, and the labor force participation rate is considerably lower at 64.0% compared to 70.2% across Greater Melbourne. Census data indicates that a moderate 22.8% of the local workforce worked from home, although this figure was likely influenced by public health restrictions during the pandemic.
The principal sectors employing local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and transport, postal & warehousing. The workforce has an especially high concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, which employs residents at 1.8 times the regional rate. Conversely, the professional & technical sector is underrepresented, employing only 5.9% of local workers compared to 10.1% across the region. The comparison between the number of local jobs and the resident workforce suggests that the area has a limited supply of employment opportunities within its boundaries. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, employment rose by 0.7% over the 12 months to March 2026, whereas the labour force shrank by 0.6%, which led to a 1.2 percentage point decline in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Melbourne experienced a 2.1% increase in employment, a 2.3% expansion in the labour force, and a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 provide additional context regarding potential future demand in the Gladstone Park - Westmeadows area. These five- and ten-year projections have been overlaid onto the local employment profile to estimate growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sectoral growth rates vary considerably. When these industry-specific forecasts are applied to the employment mix in Gladstone Park - Westmeadows, local employment is expected to rise by 6.1% over five years and 12.7% 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 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 83 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (18,024 at the 2021 Census → 18,287 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 (210051245). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
