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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Lorne - Anglesea stands at approximately 6,313 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 79 residents (1.3%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 6,234 individuals. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 6,307 combined with 44 validated new addresses identified after the Census. This population level corresponds to a density of 14.1 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious living environment. Over the last decade, Lorne - Anglesea has shown steady expansion with a 1.9% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the Rest of Vic..
Population gains were chiefly driven by overseas migration, which served as the primary source of growth in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this data, AreaSearch applies the 2023 Regional/LGA projections from the VIC State Government, adjusting them through a weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates across age categories from these aggregations are also projected for all locations from 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, growth in the lower quartile for regions outside capital cities is expected, with the locality projected to add 66 residents by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total increase of 0.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
250 new dwellings have been approved in Lorne - Anglesea over the past five years, an average of 50 a year. That places the area in the 69th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 41 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 32, 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
Lorne - Anglesea averages approximately 50 residential building approvals annually, with a total of 250 dwellings approved over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 30 recorded so far in FY-26. With an average of 1.7 new residents per year arriving for each new dwelling over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand and supply appear balanced, leading to stable market conditions, though this has adjusted to 1 people per dwelling over the last 2 financial years, indicating a more aligned supply-demand dynamic. New developments carry an average construction cost of $892,000, showing that builders are focusing on higher-end properties in the premium market.
Furthermore, $17.2 million in commercial building approvals have been registered during this financial year, pointing to moderate commercial construction activity. In comparison to the Rest of Vic., development activity in Lorne - Anglesea is notably quiet (52.0% below the regional average per capita). This restricted incoming supply typically helps maintain solid demand and pricing for existing homes. Recent building projects consist of 93.0% detached houses and 7.0% semi-detached options or apartments, maintaining the low-density character of the locality with a focus on houses that appeal to buyers seeking space. Averaging about 142 people per approved dwelling, Lorne - Anglesea displays the hallmarks of a low-density community. Demographic projections indicate that Lorne - Anglesea will add 60 residents up to 2041 (starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). Under ongoing construction trends, the volume of housing should comfortably satisfy demand, providing positive conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating expansion beyond current predictions.

Anglesea Community and Health Hub Precinct Plan
Surf Coast Shire Council has adopted a concept plan for the long-term renewal of the Anglesea McMillan Street community and health precinct. The plan keeps the precinct in council ownership and proposes upgraded community, occasional care, health and medical facilities, a green heart space for events and markets, retained heritage elements, improved wayfinding and some affordable rental housing for local key workers. The project is in the next-step design development and funding phase, with further community engagement expected once funding is secured.
Eden Project Anglesea
A concept for a world-class eco-tourism attraction on the former Alcoa coal mine site at Anglesea, Victoria. Proposed by Eden Project International, the $150 million development would occupy approximately 40 hectares and immerse 750,000 projected annual visitors in elements of earth, air, water and fire themed around the coastal landscape of the Great Ocean Road. The project was actively progressed until mid-2024 when Eden Project International formally paused development while site rehabilitation and the mine void water-filling strategy remain unresolved.Alcoa submitted a groundwater licence amendment application to Southern Rural Water in July 2024 to advance the water-filling strategy, which is a prerequisite for key elements of the concept. No planning application has been lodged with the Victorian Government. Alcoa continues to pursue mine rehabilitation and closure approvals independently of the Eden concept.
Anglesea Mine Rehabilitation and Eden Project Concept
Rehabilitation and closure of Alcoa's former coal mine and power station site, featuring a Mine Water Filling Strategy to create a safe pit lake over the next decade.

3,217 residents of Lorne - Anglesea are employed, from a labour force of 3,277. Unemployment sits at 1.8%, with participation at 58.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 workforce in Lorne - Anglesea is highly qualified, with strong representation in essential service sectors and a very low unemployment rate of 1.8%. In March 2026, there are 3,217 employed residents, and the unemployment rate is 1.9% lower than the 3.7% seen in Regional Vic., while participation in the labour force is slightly below average (58.7% compared to 61.1% in Regional Vic.). Census data indicates that a notable 35.5% of residents worked from home, though this may have been influenced by Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are accommodation & food, health care & social assistance, and construction.
The region shows a strong concentration in accommodation & food, with an employment share that is 2.0 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is less common, employing only 1.0% of the Lorne - Anglesea workforce compared to 7.5% in Regional Vic.. The area presents sparse local employment opportunities, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, during the 12 months leading to March 2026, the labour force shrank by 0.9% alongside a 1.0% drop in employment, while the level of unemployment remained steady. In contrast, Regional Vic. saw employment fall by 0.1%, the labour force decrease by 0.3%, and unemployment drop by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context on future demand in Lorne - Anglesea. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project future employment shifts. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rate of change varies widely by sector. Aligning these industry forecasts with the employment structure of Lorne - Anglesea indicates that local jobs will rise by 6.8% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted projection for illustration and 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 — 44 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,234 at the 2021 Census → 6,313 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 (203031049). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
