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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the population residing in Lysterfield stands at approximately 6,622 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 6,594 people, this represents an addition of 28 people (0.4%). Such demographic shifts are derived from ABS estimated resident population figures of 6,622 as of June 2025 alongside an intake of 55 validated new addresses recorded following the Census date. With a density metric of 358 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous living space and capacity for prospective expansion. Furthermore, Lysterfield's post-census expansion of 0.4% sits within 2.9 percentage points of the broader SA3 area (3.3%), indicating sound underlying growth dynamics.
Net overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 74.5% of overall population gains across recent measurement intervals. Projections utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 district draw upon ABS/Geoscience Australia datasets published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline period. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, models integrate the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA forecasts from 2023, applying a weighted aggregation methodology to translate LGA trends down to SA2 divisions. These aggregated age-bracket growth trajectories are likewise extended across all locations for the timeframe spanning 2032 to 2041. Factoring in these structural demographic shifts, long-term expansion is projected to track slightly underneath the median benchmark of regions assessed by AreaSearch. In total, the locality is projected to expand by 307 persons to 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to an overall growth rate of 4.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
67 new dwellings have been approved in Lysterfield over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 2.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals across Lysterfield have averaged roughly 13 dwellings per annum, amounting to 67 homes across the previous 5 financial years. In the context of recent population contraction, this level of construction supply has remained comparatively sufficient for prospective buyers. The average anticipated construction value for newly approved dwellings sits at $945,000, underscoring an emphasis among builders on higher-tier, premium residential development. Concurrently, commercial building approvals registered this financial year reached $820,000, confirming that local planning activity remains overwhelmingly geared toward residential property. When evaluated alongside Greater Melbourne, building activity across Lysterfield is notably muted, registering 53.0% below regional average per person.
Such constrained delivery of new dwellings generally acts to support pricing and demand across the established property market. This subdued pipeline also tracks below broader Australian norms, reflecting an established suburban landscape alongside potential planning constraints. Compositionally, recent approvals comprise 86.0% detached dwellings and 14.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving the suburb's signature low-density environment oriented around spacious family residences. A ratio of 512 people per dwelling approval further illustrates the restrained pace of local development. In terms of future growth, projections derived from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release indicate an expected increase of 307 residents in Lysterfield through to 2041. Provided historical building patterns persist, incoming residential supply appears well positioned to absorb projected demand, maintaining favourable conditions for purchasers while potentially accommodating expansion beyond baseline projections.

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 75.8%. 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 possesses a highly skilled workforce featuring substantial concentration in the construction sector, alongside an exceptionally low jobless rate of 2.1% and year-on-year employment growth estimated at 1.3%. By March 2026, employed locals numbered 4,156 residents, with local unemployment sitting 2.7% below the 4.8% recorded across Greater Melbourne. In addition, labor force participation is elevated at 75.8% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.1%. At the time of the Census, an elevated 29.0% of local workers performed their duties remotely, though pandemic-related movement restrictions should be taken into account. The primary employment sectors among local workers include construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance.
Specialisation is most pronounced in construction, where local representation is 1.4 times regional benchmarks. Conversely, professional & technical roles are comparatively sparse, engaging 7.4% of the local workforce versus 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. A comparison between Census resident workers and local employment positions indicates that job opportunities situated directly within the suburb remain relatively scarce. AreaSearch evaluated Salm and Abs data to show that over the 12-month period, employment grew by 1.3% while the labour force expanded by 1.8%, leading to an increase in unemployment of 0.5 percentage points. Greater Melbourne experienced stronger gains during the same timeframe, with employment rising by 2.1% and the labour force growing by 2.3%, which coincided with a smaller rise in unemployment of 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia released national employment forecasts starting Mar-26 to help anticipate future demand in Lysterfield. These projections span five and ten-year intervals and have been overlaid with local employment data to project potential growth trajectories. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral differences cause variation across industries. When these industry-level projections are weighted according to Lysterfield's current employment composition, the area is projected to see a 6.2% increase in employment over five years and a 12.9% increase over ten years. This calculation represents a basic weighting exercise for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized 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 — 55 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 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 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 (211011255). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
