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
Lynbrook - Lyndhurst maintains an estimated resident count of roughly 19,545 as of Aug 2026 according to evaluations by AreaSearch. In comparison to the 18,027 people recorded during the 2021 Census, this marks an expansion of 1,518 people (8.4%). This figure incorporates the ABS Estimated Resident Population tally of 19,545 as of June 2025 alongside 111 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The local population density stands at 2,655 persons per square kilometer, positioning the community within the top quartile of Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch. Over the preceding ten-year span, the locality exhibited sturdy demographic momentum with a compound annual expansion rate of 2.4%, surpassing the wider SA4 region.
Inbound overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 72.9% of total recent population gains. Projections for SA2 districts utilize 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia models baseline-set to 2022, supplemented where necessary by 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA datasets via weighted aggregation up to SA2 designations. Age-specific growth parameters from these models are similarly applied across all territories through 2032 to 2041. Based on these projected demographic trajectories, Lynbrook - Lyndhurst sits in the highest quartile nationally for anticipated expansion, with total resident numbers projected to rise by 5,892 persons by 2041 against the latest annual ERP benchmarks, representing cumulative growth of 30.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
295 new dwellings have been approved in Lynbrook - Lyndhurst over the past five years, an average of 59 a year. That places the area in the 57th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 59 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 83% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Over the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), Lynbrook - Lyndhurst recorded 295 residential permits, running at an annual pace of roughly 59 new dwelling approvals. Because approximately 4.8 new residents arrived per completed residence across those 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local housing output lags far behind resident intake, fostering intensified competition among purchasers and upward cost momentum, with newly permitted dwellings averaging a construction value of $521,000. Meanwhile, commercial construction activity totaled $7.0 million in approvals during the ongoing financial year, underlining the district's predominantly residential character.
Residential building volumes in Lynbrook - Lyndhurst sit 77.0% below the per-capita baseline of Greater Melbourne. Such restrained construction volume typically bolsters valuation and buyer interest for established stock. Building rates also trail the broader national average, pointing toward planning limitations and a mature suburban footprint. Detached houses accounted for 83.0% of recent residential building permits while apartments and townhouses comprised 17.0%, preserving low-density neighborhood character favored by buyers seeking land. Generating approximately 878 people per approval, the district exhibits the profile of an established, built-out community. Projections indicate that Lynbrook - Lyndhurst will add 5,892 residents by 2041 according to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Should construction output remain at its current pace, additions to housing stock could fall short of demographic expansion, which may heighten buyer competition and reinforce residential price growth.

Aquarevo Water Recycling Plant
An on-site Class A water recycling plant being delivered by South East Water within the Aquarevo residential estate at Lyndhurst, in Melbourne's south east. The plant will treat wastewater collected from the estate via a pressure sewer network, producing around 52 million litres of Class A recycled water each year with capacity to treat up to 207 kilolitres per day. Recycled water will be returned to Aquarevo homes for toilet flushing, washing machines and gardens, and used to irrigate nature strips and waterway reserves within the estate.The facility will use an Organica Food Chain Reactor, marketed as a Bluehouse, combining natural and artificial root environments in an energy efficient, low carbon treatment process. It will be the first installation of its kind in Australia. The plant is housed within a greenhouse designed to resemble a natural garden and blend into the surrounding landscape, and will be located on Brookwater Parade beside the Cranbourne railway line. Aquarevo is a joint venture between South East Water and Villawood Properties, built on a former wastewater treatment plant site, where homes are plumbed for three water sources (drinking, recycled and rainwater) and use up to 70 per cent less drinking water. Hydroflux Epco was appointed in November 2024 under a design, build and operate contract. Recycled water is currently supplied to the estate from Melbourne Water's Eastern Treatment Plant until the on-site plant is commissioned. The project remains in detailed design, with construction delayed and now expected to begin in late 2026.

11,058 residents of Lynbrook - Lyndhurst are employed, from a labour force of 11,582. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 75.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,643, about 80% 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
Lynbrook - Lyndhurst possesses an educated workforce alongside an active industrial and manufacturing presence, registering an unemployment rate of 4.5% and a 3.6% annual rise in estimated employment. As of March 2026, employed locals numbered 11,058, while joblessness sat 0.2% beneath the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%, and the local participation rate reached an elevated 75.6% relative to 70.1% across Greater Melbourne. Census figures indicated that 22.8% of workers conducted their duties from home, though pandemic-related movement restrictions during that period should be noted. A substantial portion of local labor is engaged in manufacturing, retail trade, and health care & social assistance.
Manufacturing shows notable local concentration, capturing a workforce proportion 1.8 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, education & training accounts for 6.0% of local jobs compared to the 9.2% regional standard. Due to its largely residential layout, internal employment capacity remains constrained, as demonstrated by the divergence between local resident workers and internal workplace counts at the Census. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM figures shows that during the 12 months to March 2026, local employment grew 3.6% alongside a 4.4% expansion in the labour pool, resulting in a 0.7 percentage points increase in the jobless rate. Across Greater Melbourne over the identical timeframe, employment expanded 2.1%, the workforce grew 2.3%, and unemployment ticked up 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking national forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on structural labor trends. Nationally, employment is projected to expand 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral variation remains wide. Applying these industry growth rates to the employment distribution of Lynbrook - Lyndhurst indicates potential job growth of 6.3% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (representing a weighted baseline calculation that excludes localized demographic modeling).

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 — 111 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (18,027 at the 2021 Census → 19,545 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 (212031306). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
