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.

Sales Detail
Lysterfield has an estimated 6,622 residents, up from 6,594 at the 2021 Census. That puts 358 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 by AreaSearch, Lysterfield has a population of approximately 6,622 as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 28 individuals (0.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 6,594 residents. This calculation is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 6,622 recorded in June 2025 alongside 46 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. The population density stands at 358 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density living conditions and capacity for future expansion. The post-census growth rate of 0.4% in Lysterfield is 2.7 percentage points below the 3.1% expansion observed in the wider SA3 region, showing stable growth performance.
The main driver of population growth has been overseas migration, accounting for roughly 74.5% of the total population gains in recent times. For each SA2 region, AreaSearch adopts the 2024 population projections from the ABS/Geoscience Australia using 2022 as a base year. Where SA2 data is unavailable, projections are sourced from the 2023 Victoria State Government LGA projections, which are converted to the SA2 level using weighted aggregation of population growth. The age cohort growth projections derived from this methodology are applied across all locations for the period 2032 to 2041. Based on anticipated demographic developments, population growth is projected to rank slightly below the national median, with the total population expected to grow by 323 individuals by 2041 relative to recent annual ERP data, which represents a total increase of 4.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
92 new dwellings have been approved in Lysterfield over the past five years, an average of 18 a year. That is 2.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 13, 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
Residential building approvals in Lysterfield average approximately 18 per year, amounting to 92 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, 12 approvals have been registered to date. With population numbers falling recently, construction has likely satisfied local housing requirements, providing choices for prospective buyers. The average estimated construction cost of these new properties is $499,000, which suggests that building projects are directed at upscale buyers. Furthermore, commercial building approvals total $820,000 in the current financial year, highlighting the quiet residential focus of the community.
Lysterfield matches around 60% of the building activity per capita observed in Greater Melbourne and places in the 31st percentile of all examined locations nationwide, suggesting constrained purchasing options for buyers and reinforcing interest in existing houses. This rate is below the national benchmark, which indicates a mature area and points to potential planning limitations. Standalone houses comprise 82.0% of the new building activity, while townhouses or apartments make up the remaining 18.0%, preserving the low-density neighborhood style and offering spacious residences for families. This demonstrates a shift from the existing housing stock, which is 100.0% houses, showing that developers are adjusting to fewer building sites, changing consumer lifestyles, and budget considerations. A high ratio of 537 people per dwelling approval highlights a low level of residential development. Based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Lysterfield is projected to increase its population by 323 residents by 2041. In light of current construction trends, new dwelling additions are expected to keep pace with housing demand, creating favorable buying opportunities and possibly supporting population growth that exceeds current forecasts.

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.
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.
Scoresby Village Residential Estate
Large master planned residential community in Scoresby delivering more than 450 new dwellings in a mix of townhouses and apartments, with internal streets, pocket parks and integrated community open space directly adjoining the Knoxfield activity area and Scoresby Village shopping precinct.
Knoxfield Industrial Estate
Dexus-owned industrial estate at 20 Henderson Road, Knoxfield, comprising two high-quality office and warehouse buildings with total warehouse space ranging from 13,000 sqm to 36,123 sqm. The estate is an established distribution and logistics facility with large hardstand areas, high-clearance ceilings, recessed loading docks, and ample parking. Located near Ferntree Gully Road, Stud Road, and EastLink, the precinct is identified in Knox planning documents as a strategic long-term opportunity for future uplift in land use intensity, though no formal redevelopment program or planning application has been lodged.The estate remains fully operational and is actively leased by Dexus.
13 Mountain Gate Drive Townhouses
A residential development featuring three 2-bedroom townhouses, each spanning two storeys, designed for modern and spacious living. Located in Ferntree Gully within the City of Knox. The development application has been submitted with estimated completion in mid-2026.
Wellington Village Shopping Centre
Neighbourhood shopping centre in Rowville comprising two main precincts: the primary centre and The Corner. Anchored by Ritchies IGA and ALDI along with medical services, pharmacy, childcare, restaurants, cafes, gym, and specialty stores.
Keyton Waterford Valley Lakes
Waterford Valley Lakes is an established over 55s retirement village in Rowville, operated by Keyton. The village provides around 185 independent living villas in a mix of 2 and 3 bedroom homes, some with studies, around landscaped lakes. Residents have access to a community centre, bowling green, gym, library, communal gardens and a village bus, with ongoing refurbishments and resale of villas rather than major new construction.
Six-Storey Aged-Care Facility
Six-storey aged-care facility with 177 beds, kitchen, dining, recreation facilities, cafe, and club floor overlooking Dandenong Ranges and Waterford Valley Golf Course.
4,156 residents of Lysterfield are employed, from a labour force of 4,243. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 76.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,855, about 73% 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
Lysterfield features a highly qualified labor force, with a prominent concentration of workers in the construction industry, an unemployment rate of only 2.1%, and an estimated job growth rate of 1.3% over the prior year. In March 2026, 4,156 residents were employed, while the local unemployment rate was 2.7% lower than the 4.8% rate in Greater Melbourne. The labor participation rate reached 76.4%, which is higher than the Greater Melbourne average of 70.2%. Census figures indicate that 29.0% of the workforce operated from home, though these figures were likely influenced by pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance. The local workforce is heavily represented in construction, where employment is 1.4 times higher than the regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, making up 7.4% of the workforce compared to the regional average of 10.1%. A comparison of the Census working population against the total resident population indicates that the immediate locality offers relatively few job opportunities. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that for the year ending March 2026, employment numbers expanded by 1.3% and the total labor force grew by 1.8%, leading to a rise in unemployment of 0.5 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1%, labor force expand by 2.3%, and the unemployment rate increase by 0.2 percentage points. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional indicators of future employment demand. These national projections, spanning five and ten years, have been applied to the local workforce composition to estimate future trends. Nationally, overall employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across different sectors. Adjusting these sector-specific forecasts for the local occupational structure suggests Lysterfield's employment numbers could increase by 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, representing a simple weighted projection based on industry composition rather than 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 — 46 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,594 at the 2021 Census → 6,622 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.
